knirirr Posted October 18, 2025 Posted October 18, 2025 Does anyone know of any shops which aren't too far (perhaps an hour's drive) from North or West Oxfordshire? A persistent case of GAS for a Jaguar or Jazzmaster continues to be a nuisance, and I would rather try before buying. Had this been a year ago I'd have gone to PMT, or made use of the ability to order from them and return any unsuitable items to their Oxford shop. Anderton's looks like the ideal place but a trip there would take up most of a rare free weekend, and I know that the traffic around that area is quite busy at weekends. Going into the centre of Birmingham doesn't look like much fun either.
