783.0. "2nd hand shops in UK???" by GVA05A::BERGMANS () Wed Aug 17 1988 09:58

    I am interested in buying a:
    
    EPIphone or a GIBSON  EB-2 or EB-2D 
    
    They are semi-acoustic bass guitars, they went out of production
    about 20 years ago.
    
    Does someone in UK have phone numbers of second hand guitar shops.
    
    I live in Geneva and have no idea on how to find these shops.
    
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    
    Is there anywhere in UK particular ( i.e. London / Reading ) or
    will anyplace do ?
    
    I'm a Brit just over the border from you ( Ferney-Voltaire ) and
    there are a few British guitar mags kicking around my flat I can
    dig out for you if you want.
    
    Dave.

    Add Andy's Guitar Workshop in Denmark Street London.
    
    Don't know the number. Very friendly and helpful....."if theres
    anything you want to play, take it down. Theres a box of picks over
    there....."
    
    If you can get hold of it the UK paper Melody Maker has lots of
    shop adds with listings and quite a good private "instruments for
    sale" column. (As for the rest of the paper......ug!)
