XB26354 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Didn't Wunjo used to be round the corner wedged between the Korean restaurants round the back of the Centrepoint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 [quote name='Stacker' post='579806' date='Aug 25 2009, 07:45 AM']Wow, interesting. I've been wary of their spam ever since I encountered their sales guys in the Leeds shop back in the early '90s. That aside, I wonder how much they actually pay for the goodies they seem to acquire; they can't all be commissions.[/quote] Offered my £200 for an '85 MIJ tokai flying vee (inc flight case) which would have sold in the shop for £600+ without the case. iirc I sold it privately for £550 the following week via loot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu-khag Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I bought a banjo a couple of months ago from the Chris Bryant shop on the corner. I cant say they had much in the way of bass stock but I was really happy with the service in there. didnt feel pressured at all, was welcomed to try whatever I fancied and had a pretty good deal on the banjo with hardcase... I found Wunjos to be quite welcoming but the other shops were awful. When I was younger I always fancied working in a guitar shop- thank God I didn't as I bet I'd end up like one of those cynical grumpy b*ggers. Their hearts must sink when they hear some songs for the umpteenth time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjb Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Guitar shop staff can be a nightmare, but I suppose that for every one guy who is happy to be in the musical retail business there are another three nursing broken dreams of rock stardom.
