Where do you buy your gear?

[rt24]

Wow American Musical seems great. Excellent prices and selection and I love that 3 - 5 payments deal. And yeah nice prices for the soundcards here as well.

If I'm walking into a real store.... guitar center

If I'm ordering online, agiprodj, zzounds, guitar center (in that order)

If I'm trying to get something that's out of stock everywhere or am just trying to save money, ebay

[BuckyDonePun]

Check out GuitarCenter usedgear. Got a really good deal on a Presonus Firebox--$100

UK.
Dolphin Liverpool (handy cus i can drive there)
Decks.co.uk
West End.
HTFR (but they NEVER have ANYTHING in stock) waste of time.

HTFR sucks harder than a Dyson vacuum. They ship shit super late, their stock is rarely accurate, and most people have outright never received anything after ordering from them.

I generally try to support my local businesses, I buy from World of Stereo in San Francisco and Petaluma. I've done enough business with them that they give me great deals, and they carry excellent condition used equipment. Nice guys too

[Karlos Santos]

Yeah man. HTFR sucks when it comes to stock levels. I got my Korg Zero4 form there and it was on time but i wouldnt buy from there if i had a choice.

The plus point of buying local is you can pick up or be guaranteed next day delivery.
I hate waiting for gear. I plan my mornings according to what may arrive in the post. If shit is a day late i get very angry...!

guitar center and pssl.com

+1 on Guitar Center. I prefer local, but they are cheaper, have payment plans, and good shipping.
