Online guitar shops

[Benjy]

Hi,

Are there any good shops online for buying guitars and amps etc?
Are there any in Oz that will deliver to NZ?

Hi Benjy, never even dreamt of getting stuff when I get there, there's got to be loads of music shops in the major cities, surely? Over to you Dave K
May have to take a load of strings etc..

Heres a list of music shops in Auckland, hubby bought an electric guitar from Go West, dunno what it is (apart from noisy ), but he got it with an amp for around $550.

Thanks Jubjub (your selma's iguana right? )

Stevie, Im bringing my guitar over but my amp is just too big I will be looking for a new one when i arrive.

I only got an electro acoustic so not a prob for me Benjy Must admit I want to get into the electric again though.

[Benjy]

I am leaving my acoustic at home It would be more convenient but I need access to all 22 frets I will probably buy another acoustic in NZ at some point.

Show off! I take it you are a big lead guitar player then.....

[Benjy]

What gave it away? the large ego?

Yeah lead is my thing. I do like to try and play and sing on an acoustic though when im on my own. I just cant sing

What sort of music do you play?

Not sure about online shops..I think Rockshops have a site..but all the major cities seem well-equipped with music shops.

Gear is quite pricey though, and the range of stuff can be quite limited. I've been buying bits & pieces of audio gear from ebay in the US and getting it shipped over. You do have to pay import duty ( calculated on a sliding scale) on stuff over $100, but it still works out cheaper most of the time.

Cheers Dave. Does the shipping cost a lot? and does stuff take a long time to arrive?
