A visit to WM guitars Ashburton

I've had an FB advertisement pop up a couple of times for WM Guitars in Ashburton (http://www.wmguitars.com/). As we were going to be passing close by on our way back from holiday (and with encouragement from Bacchus) I popped in for half an hour. It's a cave of treasures selling old and rare guitars, new guitars from unusual places e.g. Ukraine ("Woodstock" brand)... custom guitar parts (bridges, tremolos, knobs, etc.) - and the guy he says he has another two floors of stock. Huge assortment of acoustics, classical guitars, an assortment of pedals. By the time I'd waited for the owner to finish with an older lady who was sending her late husband's stuff to auction so I could get his OK I didn't have time to take than a few snaps.

At first, I thought some of these pictures were upside down. Now I know better.

Wish I'd been more useful. Also now wishing I had the wherewithal to drive down and meet you for a natter.

When you posted about how much interesting stuff they had, I wondered if it was the same place that a friend sent the photo in this thread from:

A wee bit of internet sleuthing later (Plush Hair and Beauty reflected in the window of the Pub Thread photo) tells me that it was!
