Went to Frailers in Runcorn today - fantastic selection of new and s/h top quality guitars and banjos. The owner's a great guy too. Pay a visit.

Agreed Alex. Frailers in Runcorn is the top place to go for Guitars and Banjos in the North West. They have some great top notch second hand instruments.

Phew!

What a relief, I thought from the thread title maybe it'd shut down

You had me worried too!

Great shop: I got my vintage Gibson L50 and my Wildwood banjo there

I have got some great guitars there over the years and also got good part exchange deals.

True, true, all true but I think Hobgoblin, Manchester has a greater variety of acoustic instruments

Greater variety but not nearly as much choice for guitars and banjos. Ok for cuatros etc

Great guy in charge. I bought a Martin/Vega from him some years ago over the phone and he provided a case-free postage -spare strings- a strap and a capo. I recall he told me that he started off selling jeans but people brought him instruments in payment of debts so he changed tack to what we have today.

Difficult as it is to say anything good about a man who sells BANJOS for a living Frank Murphy at Frailers is one of the best top man.
