Before I order a guitar case from them, just wondered if there were any discount or free delivery codes for 1st time customers?

    Highly unlikely. Most places don't do codes these days, you'll just get a redirect to their sales or b-stock section.

    Does the case not come to more than their minimum free shipping? If not, have you looked around at other outlets?

    I thought I'd ask just in case,, as there is space for a code on the ordering page. I've looked around & G4M seems to be best value, at £44.95 for a lined, tweed hard case, with £3.95 for local collection:

    I'm doing some 'recycling' & am going to use this case for my '69 Strat (which stays at home), the Hiscox case (currently for my '69) for the new Yamaha Pacifica 611VFM, and the gig bag that came with the Pacifica for an Epi LP Special.  I could save £5 by going for the black version which I would have done if it was for the 611 - but I thought the tweed would be nice for my '69 Strat.

    According to the internet, about 5 years ago they did a "5% off all own-brand (Gear4Music) products with code" ... but almost nothing since then.

    a 69 strat would have had a black case, though, not tweed...

    I know - but as its not an original '68/69 Fender case it doesn't really matter - I just like the tweed with the red lining.  ;)

    Tweed case ordered - being delivered to local collect point tomorrow.     If the black case had a different colour lining eg red, or gold it would have been fine...but all black (like my PRS case) is just too plain & boring!

    Tweeds pretty damn cool, though! Have you seen those guitar  fetish cases? Paisley, and all manner of loveliness! Dearer, though, obvs!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Case came today - nicely made for its price-point (not as well built or heavy as a bona-fide Fender case obviously, and it has squarer edges rather than the nice rounded shape on Fender cases) but for £48.98 inc delivery to local pick-up point, its damned good value.  (The tweed case that came with my 2004 50th Anniversary American Deluxe sells for around £200!) As I never (or very rarely) take it out the house, wear & tear not an issue. Perfect fit for my '69 Strat which was always just a little bit 'loose' in the Hiscox case (needing pads to be stuck in) - but the Hiscox is just perfect for the 611 and its as rugged as hell.  And my Epi LP Special now has a gig-bag (lack of space is now a real problem so will probably sell that for £50 which pays for the new case).

    After you purchase a couple or so items from gear4music they upgrade your account to VIP status. Most reductions are miniscule, but I have had some really good deals on guitars. Only thing is you have to hunt for them as they are pretty random.
      Incidentally, I have that black gear4music case and it does weigh a ton.

    My PRS case weighs a ton, but this is actually quite light and lighter than my Fender tweed case.
