Walking out of town and past Millennium Point, PMT lies on the other side of a large roundabout. It's a place I have been visiting for years and have used to test out new purchases and pick up essentials such as leads and strings. PMT's main advantage over its competitors lies in its huge size and impressive amount of stock: I have never been turned away because of something being out of stock which is always nice once you've walked all the way there.
The cavernous guitar warehouse is huge, although the quality of the instruments are somewhat inconsistent: For the odd diamond and the usual high-end staples, there's a lot of forgettable stuff hanging up on the walls. However, the advantage of so much stock means you're spoilt for choice as a beginner, a full-time musician or simply as someone just marvelling at everything. The keyboard section is well stocked too, and I have found the staff that specialise in this area are particularly knowledgable when it comes to Rolands and Korgs which is particularly handy.
Staff are friendly and always happy to let you try things out, and the prices are also pretty competitive. Overall, a great place that's well worth a visit even it's just for a poke around. read more
