John Hornby Skewes closure
I read on guitar.com that the famous UK Yorkshire based JHS distributor is closing down. Sad days. They've been part of the UK music for as long as I've been buying kit. My first phaser pedal in the 70s was one of theirs Not mine which I swapped for a Big Muff before 1980. They were for a long time Hughes & Kettner distributor in the UK and super service supplying me with some spares when I needed them. They in recent years created great guitar brands like Vintage and Fret King. I own two Vintage guitars and have often considered Fret King. I really hope those brands don't disappear. For a home Partscaster builder like me too they are distributor for Wilkinson parts which are simply the best there is for the money in my opinion. After recent shop closures another blow to the UK music instrument retail industry.
