Company details
Written by the company
For decades Guitar Village has been assisting guitar players (from complete beginners to famous household names) find their perfect guitar. We only close 4 days a year* giving customers every opportunity to get down to our shop situated in the South of England 45 minutes from central London. *Since the pandemic, we have been closed on Sundays. Guitar Village houses a plethora of well over 1,000 guitars, amps and effects spread throughout 15 demo in our 15th century listed building - a landmark of the picturesque medieval market town of Farnham, Surrey. There is a special kind of ‘homey ambiance’ that makes for a more relaxed shopping experience. The staff at Guitar Village all play guitar (a necessity to work here unlike some guitar shop salesmen!) and have an extensive in-depth knowledge and ability to guide customers to the right guitar. We also have a full-time tech on hand to help with any issues and set-up requirements. We do everything from brand new to used and vintage guitars so whether you are after the latest innovations and reissues, a reliable workhorse or rare collector's item, we are sure you'll find it here. As a long-established guitar specialist, Guitar Village has built up firm relationships with all the major manufacturers over the decades and are proud to be authorised dealers for Fender, Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Gretsch, PRS, Ibanez, Ernie Ball Music Man, Lowden, National, Faith, Takamine, Rickenbacker, Collings, Guild, Larrivée, Marshall, D'Angelico, Mesa Boogie, AER, Cornell, Vox, Orange, Boss, Jim Dunlop, Roger Mayer, ThorpyFX, Strymon, Electro Harmonix, and many others. A range of 0% and low-interest finance options now help the guitarist find the correct instrument for them without the price tag being an issue by spreading the cost into easily manageable payments. Free next-day shipping to mainland UK is also available on most products bought online for those unable to visit. We sell guitars worldwide through our website but a personal visit to the shop to take all of this in is very much recommended!

Whilst I was impressed with the Guitar along with others from Guitar Village, which I have purchased in the past and service has always been good. This time however Guitar turned up with 2 broken strings. This was put down to transit, however I could only ever find the top half of the strings, make of it what you will. The chap at Guitar village was adamant the Guitar left them as normal, perhaps strings should have been relaxed for transit. Least they could have done was forward me a new set of strings, but none was offered.

I’ve bought 2 of these in the past from GV, fast service at a really great price, I would order again no problem. Just be sure that ordering an item on a Friday for next day delivery means that you will receive it on Monday and that UPS delivery updates can be misleading at the best of times.

Very fast and professional. They even added a plug that fits my country instead of the UK plug. The amp sounds amazing even at bedroom levels.
