One of the UK’s leading specialist dealers in high-end, rare and boutique electric and acoustic guitar brands and gear.

Our ‘Main Room’, complete with Chesterfield couch, wall-to-wall, houses our most boutique and rare guitars from some of the world’s most revered and respected builders. The room and it’s stock changes each day, so paying us a visit just to see what’s new is well worth it – It’s never the same twice!

Great service highly recommended
Guitar was advertised at a very reasonable price, better than described and delivered within one working day. They also responded to my questions very promptly.
Cannot fault the level of service and I would certainly buy from them and recommend them to others

Amazing place to shop or get a guitar repaired.
I brought in a Taylor acoustic with a manufacturing defect and a brand new, perfectly set up guitar was waiting at the shop in a matter of weeks.
Everyone was very helpful, special shout-out to Rob the technician.

Fantastic place
Fantastic place, bought a couple of guitars from here and they don’t disappoint. Really relaxed environment with a few amps to try out the instruments. Can’t wait to return for another one.

A good experience.
Picked up a James Tyler JTG. Spoke to Paul who was really helpful and made the experience of purchasing what is the most expensive piece of gear I own a good one. Was sent out the same day and arrived the following morning. Would recommend.

Superb shop
A great selection of gear, good prices, a first stop whenever I need something a bit more than the norm. It’s the level of service with the small things that will soon make them my first choice for an R8 or R9.
