Dave's Guitar Shop in Wisconsin?

Post by Metal Jockey »

Does anyone have any experience with this retailer? They're not local to me and I'm possibly interested in purchasing from them online. They are an authorized dealer for many major brands (including Rickenbacker).

Mods, please move this thread if it's not in the correct forum section. Thanks.

I bought a Rick from them a few years ago online and it was a seamless transaction.

I bought a 4003 there in March 2012. They always have good Ric supply and are a top notch shop. I've bought and sold through them for years. One of the best.

Just as a follow-up to my original inquiry about Dave's Guitar Shop -

I went ahead and ordered a new 4003 in Jet Glo and my transaction with Dave's was fantastic. Bryan Butler is their bass guy and I must have spent a good 45 minutes on the phone with him before I placed my order. During our discussion, Bryan physically inspected the guitar and described the different parts to me in detail to ensure that this was a good one. He went over the neck, nut, bridge, pickups, string action and the finish. He was very patient in answering all my questions and even asked some questions of me. When the bass arrived, I was extremely pleased with it and have been enjoying it since. I paid slightly more than some of the other recommended online retailers, but Dave's was the only one that had a Jet Glo in stock, so I was happy to pay the extra money to get it and it was still a great deal. Other than this transaction, I have no affiliation with Dave's Guitar Shop, but I can wholeheartedly recommend them as a great retailer for anyone in the market for a Rickenbacker bass or any other instrument. Cheers.
