Hi...I bought my 1st guitar at Windows for 5 guineas! 1964...still play. I also got a Selmer little giant amp and a Rossetti egmond from Jeavons. Later I bought a Strat..I still have the neck ..on another body. I think the older lady who used to serve in Jeavons later moved to kitchens. I spent a lot of time at Max (maxi) Shares in an upstairs shop in the covered in grainger market. Saw a lad playing an ice blue strat with a Watkins copycat / vox ac30 amp...sounded like heaven!.I believe a young Eric Burdon used to work there. Here is a clip of Bob Dylan looking into Jeavons Pudding Chare shop...at the very same display I used to drool at....I think the shop someone here talked about near the "Oxford"...was called Mckays..they also later had a one at the bottom of Westgate Rd..run by the son of Barry M....for me , Jeavons was the place to go....always had a Burns Bison on the wall over the fireplace!....regards Ian
