Hi Guy,

We are glad to here the Gibson arrived promptly and that you are happy.

We do indeed know Peter very well and it is always a pleasure to see 
him....not just because he seems to enjoying purchasing guitars and more 
recently basses from us.

Our current stock of Martins is the best we have had for years. Let us 
know when you would like to pop over and we will get you booked in the 
diary. We are here Tuesday to Saturday 11am-5pm.

Kind Regards,
Harriet, Phil & Tim
Express Music
