The Axe Palace

[Two Panthers]

I’ve seen a lot of guitar deals, from craigslist, to sweetwater and other retail online, to ebay/reverb, to of course, my local mom and pop shops and , Sam ash/guitar center being the main corporate ones were all familiar with.

The Axe Palace in Walpole, MA is one of the VERY FEW authorized online/offline ESP dealers, and that was a great thing to have a physical store and a great website. Nick, the owner , is really quick to get a deal done, and Victor, his tech is very quick to help and answer any questions

I bought the ESP B8 Custom Shop from the Axe Palace on a Friday night/Saturday morning and it was set up that day, boxed up, shipped out Monday, and it arrived Tuesday, the next day from shipping , and it arrived in the original box with a certificate of authenticity (although the old COA from ESP for guitars of this price level usually come in like a leather bound sleeve and laminate but who cares as long as I got it), and the guitar was in like mint condition!

I was so pleased and satisfied with Nick and Victor, that I think when I order my next custom shop ESP, ill just go straight to them. Nick gets very busy, and there are a lot of emails to get to, so dont take his lack of a reply or extremely long delays in answering you get you discouraged; if you really want a guitar from him, call him, and the deal will happen.

So I cant recommend anyone more highly if you want the best guitars that are out there, go to the Axe palace!

Thank goodness I found SSrg because @zimbloth first got my business from a post bout Lundren M7 pickups that I bought from him years and years ago!

It is seriously the best online authorized shop I’ve seen, and if there store has even more than the site, it’s a real jewel of a find as far as guitar shops go....all I know is, reliable and trustworthy online dealers and sellers are very few and far between now, and besides Rich Harris (http://www.ibanezrules.com) being the only man for Ibanez new and used, the only ESP man I will go to now is Nick Yoffe (@zimbloth). In fact, I was just talking to someone about the custom shop B8 that I purchased in the ERG section, and I asked Nick for a quote, basically identically to the B8 in the thread but with a Floyd instead of a hip shot and a different color, so well see....I am going to order through the AxePalace.com (as soon as my login works again! Can’t log in anymore!)....

Hope you are well Nick @zimbloth! And stay well and healthy during the virus nonsense!!! Take care

When I read “two panthers” I thought this was a Framus advertisement. Good review write up of the owner and store though!
