Cheaper than the internet

Being a bricks and mortar company we often hear people say they can get what we sell cheaper on the internet.

Allow us to dispel a few myths…

1. If you’re buying one of our guitars or pickups from a UK-based supplier on the internet the product will either be second-hand, traded into the UK from elsewhere, or a copy as we have exclusivity agreements in place with our suppliers and luthiers.

2. Our guitars are the same price when buying from us as buying from our luthiers; whether buying direct or on their website. Occasionally we’re a little cheaper & occasionally we’re fractionally more due to the forex changing. However, you won’t be paying a forex charge to your bank or credit card nor shipping from Europe so we generally work out as cheaper overall.

3. Our pickups are the same price, or cheaper, than the same products offered on internet giants and, being priced in pounds Sterling, will not be subject to forex charges and will incur cheaper p&p.

What’s more you can talk to a human being, ask questions, get advice, read our blog and join conversations on our Facebook page. You can call into The Old Dairy and browse our gifts, pickups, and accessories in person. All our in stock instruments are available for you to try before you buy and if for some reason we don’t have what you want in stock we’ll ask our luthiers for one for you.  Plus we occasionally run promotions (such as this month’s ‘All about the Bass’) which means that, for the duration of the offer, we are cheaper than elsewhere.

Finally, if you still think you can buy it cheaper on the internet, why not check out our webshop here:  Instruments Amplifiers,  Accessories (pickups, strings, nail care, joint care, luthiery products),  Giftware

Stimer M6

In addition to the iconic Stimer M12 amplifier we also brought back an entry level Stimer – the M6.

The M6 could be considered to be a bit of a plain jane when compared to her big sister but her forebears graced equally iconic stages and she still delivers that distinctive gyspy sound.

06 - stimer M6With its sleek wooden casing, black leather jacket, and leather handle the M6 is eminently portable and will comfortably sit behind the front seat of most cars. But just because it’s smaller and plainer it doesn’t mean than it hasn’t been hand-made with the same care that its bigger showier sister has. What’s more, we know that this particular one was solely build by Maurice Dupont himself (even if he didn’t make all the components personally!).

As with the M12, we are able to offer this particular M6 amp at a great price; this time at £695, which is over £200 cheaper than previous prices.

Again, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, we have to emphasis that this price applies only to the Stimer amps currently in stock and that, with forex fluctuations, we cannot guarantee these prices on subsequent models.
