Am planning to buy an MM lighting. Just wanted to know if anyone can recommend a specific place to get one. A few retailors are mentioned on the relevant page, but i wondered if there was any specific recommendations or experiences someone may have!

Hi Billybonkers, The easy answer is to go straight to Busker Guitars at www.buskerguitars.co.uk/ or E.mail Robin at, robin@buskerguitars.co.uk I recently bought a Busker Deco from Busker and all I can say is it's a great guitar and the service given to me by Robin was even better! If you contact Robin he will give you help in choosing an instrument that suits you and will set it up to your specific requirements. You wont be disappointed, I can't remember ever having received better service from any retailer! Tymus

I'd have to also recommend Buskers. If you're sure you want a lightning then you don't really need to try both guitars out, and if you have a change of heart when you get it they have a very reasonable returns/swap policy. I've been waiting for weeks for MM guitars to come back into my local shop, calling/dropping by every couple of days. They came last night, the Lightning was out of the door first thing this morning, and would've been out the door with me this afternoon if it'd lasted that long . If you can get to one of the shops listed on the website, by all means do go, but call ahead to make sure they have the stock, as these guitars go fast!

Thank you everyone ! Things have changed a bit. I phoned around, and all that i spoke too, told me it was very difficult to get one. No shop had seen one for months! However the last shop i phoned had a lightning so i bought it there and then. It was £575. So thanks again for all your help. Should arrive next tuesday.

I got it from Dave Mann in Nottingham. Seemed very friendly. I didn't need their advise! I new exactly what i wanted, so it was simple. Their price was also the cheapest i found. I was quoted £595 in another place. I was so happy to have found one, having been told i may have to wait months.

Hi, I agree with going straight to Robin at Busker as well. I have dealt with him quite often in the last 2 years. Not a problem. Al.

You got my guitar! Weeks I've been waiting on that! :-p Oh well, I'm sure I'll live. Do one thing for me though, have lots of fun with it! They're great instruments, so I'm sure you will.

They have a whole list of people waiting for one, I called lunchtime today and they said someone had called before they'd had a chance to call anyone. No need to worry, I knew full well that more people were waiting for them to come in than there were guitars coming, well done for calling in the nick of time!
The way I see it, if it was worth me waiting until now, then a few more weeks wont' hurt, just more time to get excited! Let us know how you get on with it when it arrives!
Cheers
