Richard Hawley

How do,

I went up to Reverb on City road at the weekend – I was kind of looking for a keyboard for the kid's birthday (twins), but they didn’t really have anything suitable... Then I saw this and remembered Richard playing one at Holmfirth and the ’Dorothy’ post on here – thought it was incredibly cheap – They seem to be clearing the old sound control stock very cheaply! – anyway I tried it out – its absolutely fab, I can’t believe what a good guitar it is – ended up buying it – I paid £159!! – It’s so nice. I prefer it to my Tele which I've had years and cost about 6 times that. It really looks ace too.




Its really inspired me to get playing more again. Has anyone tried any Italias out?

They had another Modena, a gold one I think. There's 20% off the already discounted stock in September - apparently. There were a fair few different Italia models, but it was the Modena that called out to me!

I wasn't really planning on buying - I just couldn't not at that price!

Sheffield branch has Imola @ 199GBP, Maranello @ 179, Modena @ 199, Rimini @ 299 & Speedster @ 199 I think. All prices have 20% to be taken off as well.

Just what I was thinking...

Thanks Have several really nice wallpapers in the house - maybe I should post pics of those rooms too - or are we getting a bit too off topic!

Went up at dinner, and they'd not got much left at discounted price, couple of Italia speedsters at £199, and i think a maranello at £249, not much else other than that............although i did get 6 sets of strings for 22quid... 20% off all strings too, so all was not lost!!
