Neil's cancer
I'm back home after having a lung cancer removed
in late June.
I'm still very sore and fragile, and will be returning to hospital
in late July to either have the lobe of the lung completely removed,
or to undergo a course of chemotherapy, but can respond to all queries
and purchases almost as normal in that time. After that I may be
'off air' for two or three weeks, but I will keep you informed.
And heartfelt thanks for the many supportive messages I've received!
I welcome you to Grouse Guitars, the 'virtual
vintage guitar store' where you navigate with vintage amp knobs
(use the site map if the knobs
aren't your thing). You will find Grouse Guitars
to be an ethical and user-friendly vintage and rare guitar,
bass and amplifier dealer - see our About
Us page. And yes, we can lay-by or
hold an item for you. My able assistant, Leo the tonehound
(he's a 6yo Beaglier),
is pictured to the left. Orville the resident black cat remains
unphotographed for now.
You will enjoy
the Grouse Guitars experience - amazing instruments and amps
carefully selected by a passionate musician to guarantee your
own satisfaction and enjoyment.
Forget all
the financial horror stories regarding shares, real estate,
banks, superannuation and the rest. Quality vintage guitars
continue to prove to be a rock-solid investment,
and you can have fun and creative satisfaction on the way! And
for international buyers, note that the Australian
dollar is at a very low value at present, making purchases
(and shipping) from Australia a real bargain.
Twiddle the
amp knobs at the top of the page to view all our GROUSE
guitars, basses
and amps, send us an email,
sign our guestbook, or check out
heaps of useful links!
Coming soon!
