GFS, you mean Guitar Fetish pups?
Have you considered Swineshead pups? www.swinesheadpickups.co.uk Hand wound in the UK, I've just put a set of Condors finished in Zebrano wood on my 'budget' 12 string electric. They sound great and are superb value for money.
There's also Bulldog pups http://www.bulldogpickups.com/ Again hand made in the UK, a but I've no idea how they sound/compare to the Swinesheads.
Some of the guitars in the GFS clearance section look amazing value.
That Harley Benton amp looks mighty interesting at the price, I hadn't seen it before.
@GaryG,
It's not just the J&D's great looks (it's a J&D guitar, I got told off for calling it a RMS when I posted a review elsewhere
) it's managed to convince me of something I never thought could happen. Prior to getting it, I'd never found a guitar where a mix of single coils and humbuckers worked for me, but they do on this guitar. I don't have to switch guitars to change tones now. The stock pups are only cheapo bog standard jobbies, but they are plenty hot enough and have a nice bright character. Throw in the fact the action is now unbelievably low, even lower than the HBT2000, and that clinches it for me. It just feels so comfortable and plays so well
I just 
it, I'm not saying it's the best guitar in the world 'cos it surely isn't, but it still represents staggering value for money.I doubt I'd put my trust in it 100% if I played live/toured, but for home use or as a backup guitar, it'll do a fine job. Maybe I've been fortunate and was lucky enough to get a good'un, but whatever, I'm so satisfied I've put 3 of my other guitars up for sale. I'll never get back the extra money I spent on upgrading the pups on 2 of them, but I honestly can't see them getting much use now the J&D is here.
I'm assuming, going by the quality, that J&D (just like Cort) have been making guitars for brand names, and are now making/selling under their own name.
Best describe it as 'similar' to the Gibson, anyone who knows their stuff will know what you mean.
