Hey, has anyone tried buying from Elderly Instruments?  :D
I have no idea kasi if they give good customer service or have a good reputation and all that...

Thanks!

damer-boy, kmusta?  i've been buying from Elderly since pre-2000.

ok ang customer service nila. i've returned an item before which they had a satisfaction guarantee on, and they refunded naman.  i just told them that i wasn't happy that the pedal they sent sounded nothing like what the ad said.

i just got some new stuff today from Elderly, brought home by my kumpare. slides, cds, picks, etc.  i'm a happy camper.

mas mura ng konti but certainly never above the average. but for me it's about having established a long-term relationship with them.  that counts a lot.  also, they carry a lot of cool stuff that only blues/gospel freaks and rednecks look for (eg, my Herco flat-thumbpick, rare cds, harmonicas, etc.).  they've been in that market and online way before these big online sellers.  i've done most of my online gear purchases w/ them.

i've had them ship stuff to me here directly. but most of the time i have em shipped to a relative or friend in the US and they bring it here (y'know the drill).  the last few times ganun, so i'm not sure if they still ship here. but long-time customers siguro pwede? i'm not sure tho.

Lately ko lang kasi narinig ang Elderly Instruments...Lagi ako nagbrowse sa vintage/used equipments nila e. :wink:

I think elderly is one of the better stores mapa electric o acoustic... prices are lower than say musiciainsfriend, music123.... and they ship to a lot of destinations...  

kaya lang since nasa states ka na you can try wildwood, willcutts, daves, wildwest, guitar rez if your trying to buy an electric....sa acoustics iba din :D
