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!

The epitome of a guitar shop
What more could you ask for. So many manufacturers and price points, All the guys are players and extremely knowledgeable. I go in there even when I'm not buying just for a chat and a look around especially at the Martin, Gibson and Atkin models.They need a coffee shop. Well done all, amazing shop.

Good service
I really appreciated listening to one of thier staff playing the guitar I was interested in, for me to listen to it over the phone and getting the photos of the actual guitar before purchasing it online. It was the latter that persuaded me to buy from them rather than other places that had the same guitar few pounds cheaper. Delivery was late which was not their fault. Guitar is amazing. Enjoyable buying experience just a shame about the delayed delivery.

This is the best guitar shop in the uk as far as I’m concerned. I have shopped here many times over the years. Recently I bought a guitar and an amp, their service is great and most importantly if you have an issue their after service is absolutely excellent. Great staff and buying experience.

Ordered an Eastman acoustic guitar marked as a demo model. It arrived the next working day and it's even better than expected. Great service and a great guitar.

Excellent company, great to deal with.
Visited Guitar Village with my son on his birthday, we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He had been desiring a Gibson Les Paul Junior for quite some time, and I was looking at "full fat" Les Paul Standards. The sales guys let us look at and play several, there was absolutely no pressure, we were allowed to take our time and they didn't stand over us which was a breath of fresh air. Courteous and friendly service throughout. We were there 3 hours and left having purchased a Les Paul Junior and a nice little Cort practice amp. The LPJ is set up very well and is an awesome little guitar with monster tone, amazing considering how brutally basic it is. They even threw in a free set of strings. I can highly recommend this business based on our experience which was thoroughly pleasurable start to finish.

Guitar Village Always Great
Always a great service with Guitar Village! Even after I hadn't placed an order with them in years, they're as good as ever...
I had some questions about a guitar on their website. After a friendly helpful call, all my questions were answered and I was confident this was the guitar for me.
It was marked Ex-Demo, but you'd never know it. It looked immaculate when it arrived. GV are honest about any tiny (and I mean TINY) imperfections on a guitar that isn't brand new.
For instruments over a certain price, they put photos of the actual guitar online. So you know exactly what you're getting.
There's also a multistage checklist that goes in with the guitar. Everything is checked on the instrument before shipping. It takes the worry out of buying guitars online.
Highly recommended!

I bought a Taylor 414ce acoustic guitar from Guitar Village, and I e-mailed my questions to Richard after my purchase for some of my concerns, he was super helpful. Even though there was a little problem with the delivery it wasn't the company's mistake and even after that Richard was really helpful and wanted to know if everything went fine. I am really happy with my guitar, thank you Richard!
