Martinez Electric Resonator
This weeks effort is a veritable dark horse, not only does it sound authentic when played acousically, it's output socket is stereo and allows you to plug into your favourite valve amp via the lipstick neck pickup, whilst routing the piezo bridge transducer through a PA or acoustic amp. In fact with skilfull mic usage you could have three different sounding tracks with one take. This normally retails for $1399 but we have one only this week at $1100 - this includes a spiffy case that looks a million bucks and has a tooled leather appearance. Instrument is engraved front and back - including bridge plate.
Still causing gasps of incredulity in the store are the new foldaway 'Voyage.Air' guitars; these instruments have to be seen to be believed! In stock now. See details in guitar showroom. Five models in stock and we'll ship for FREE.
It is not our policy to bang on about how good we can be, but we will start to post a few testimonials to encourage first time customers. We have many from as far afield as Berwick (that's Berwick, Scotland folks - not Victoria), Texas and Tokyo.
Here are several from recent customers.

Hi Chris,
Many thanks for the guitar! I couldn't have wished for more and haven't been able to put it down. David McC. Brisbane
Received the bass safe and sound, pleasantly surprised to find how easy it is to deal with someone geographically so far away! G.E. Texas USA
Thanks' to you guys at Guitars Plus, for organizing the purchase and delivery of the 'Vintage' guitar, and tweed case for me in Geelong . I am extremely pleased with the guitar and especially with the friendly and helpful service given. I'm sure I'll be dealing with Guitars Plus in the future. Many Thanks' G.Spall Geelong.
Thanks Chris,
I get a quicker, more complete response from you who's halfway around the world then I do in the States. Thank you. The people of Oz are as nice as the scenery! (Have been twice). Cheers Pat. Pat F. - USA
Tip of The Month
Nearly every day we have a customer approach us with some kind of problem that they have with something purchased on the net; wrong product, not as described, damaged, guitar is a fake, modern masquerading as vintage, power supply not legal or appropriate for Australia, you name it we've seen it! Buy from a proper dealer if you do buy on the net, and try to buy within our country. It may look fantastic, but often all is not as it seems! Or best of all shop local - we give excellent after sales service and have a plethora of factory second guitars as well as our usual array of used and vintage.
Whilst we recommend restringing every 3-4 months, an annual service can be of great benefit to your instrument. As mentioned many times in the past, we treat your guitar as if it is going up for sale in our showrooms; every little nuance is checked, and when completed goes to another person on staff for a complete play test, and if neccessary back to the bench for further adjustment. We pick up on things that may not be apparent eg. worn nuts, loose machine heads and bushings, flat batteries, divots in frets and unbalanced pickups etc. All this is $75 plus strings, around $15-$20.
Rest assured your ears, guitar, audience and band mates will thank you for it!
