Currently (theoretically)offering 15% discount on all items, however, I have emailed them tweices asking for details of one of their guitars -no response. I've also emailed them in the past and received no reply

Hi, Ivor Mairants. UPDATE ! I just bought a new Eastman from them, delivered yesterday. Forget 15% discount - I got over 27%! Obviously this depends on their margin for different brands - but they ARE open to offers!
BTW - Best to phone rather than email - they didn't get (or read) either of mine!)

Wonder when their last day will be? Rathbone Place is walkable from where I work...

Bought my first Stratocaster there in 1966 (a 63 model). Sunburst with rosewood fingerboard.
Waiting for the train in Paddington couldn't stand it. So I sat in one of the toilet cubicles playing it. It cost me £147. Sounds a bargain but when your pay is £5 a week ! What is 30 weeks pay now ?
Very sad.

Ivor's is now officially gone. But, there will be a new guitar shop in the same unit run by the old manager Mak, with the creative and innovative name 'Mak's Guitars'.

That is indeed good news. Mak is a good guy who as managed to find a pitch and a niche that makes sense to me. I have to limited my visits the as he then begins to remember me and is more restrained in allowing me to play different guitars :-)

That is good news (the shop, rather than the website). Though I must confess I'm no good as a consumer for guitar shops. I have too many geetars already and need to off-load, rather than on-load.
