Been a long time customer at Electro, though the last deal I did with Dave (mail order), I got the feeling that I'd been given a bit of a bum deal. Got a BODxt from him at a decent price, thinking it was a brand new one, but actually got the shop demonstrator. Saying that, I have done a few good deals with him and others in the shop. The guitar dept. guys are pretty good too.
Wouldn't buy anything from Music Ground. Ever.
Northern Guitars (accross the road) do have some interesting gear in from time to time, kicking myself about an Aria Pro II SB Black & Gold (Cliff Burton circa Master of Puppets) I missed out on a few years back. Good price too.
Wizard Guitars formerly of Doncaster, but now resident in Sheffield is good for the odd interesting bass now and again. Last time I was in there (quite a few months back) he had a 70's Gibson Grabber and a few nice old Fender's. Better for guitars of all price points.
Rock Factory in Cas have some decent gear in sometimes.
