Deluxe Guitars, Melbourne (+NPD of awesomeness)

Post by Conway »

Just back from a week in Melbourne. Highly recommend Deluxe Guitars, South Melbourne as a pedal buyers paradise - just WOW! Also amazing boutique amp selection. I could spend a fortune here very easily. http://deluxeguitars.com.au

Bought this Beetronics Royal Jelly - outstanding dual OD---->fuzz blend with dry mix.

TBH not that many have a good selection of decent guitars. And you're not really a pedal guy. You might be disappointed.

Go to Cranbourne Music in Melbourne... they're a Chapman guitars dealer so you can have a play through some (I bought mine from there). Really nice dudes there too, and a pretty good selection of stuff.

Deluxe are awesome. I have bought a lot of very spendy fuzz from them - they are one of a very small handful dealers in the world for DAM and Pigdog. Super friendly and helpful.

This is one of my all time favourites from there:
