Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, prices and returns policy.

Friendly & knowledgable bloke on the phone talked me through my options for buying a resonator guitar, - bought it online for half the price of GAK, and it was delivered next day!

Unfortunately the guitar wasn't quite right for me, but they allowed a full refund and were super helpful in processing it, and recommending an alternative guitar.

Going to recommend all my friends to shop there

New guitar

My guitar arrived a couple of days after I ordered it, it was well packaged and although it hasn't made me able to play like Kirk Hammett, it was already tuned and ready to play straight from the box and it sounds amazing.

I ordered this beautiful acoustic guitar, Cordoba C10 Cedar Top Classical, for my hubby as an early 60th birthday present and boy he was over the moon. It sounds superb and the resonation is mind blowing.
Easy to order online, great delivery too

Welcoming and knowledgeable staff…

This shop is a really lovely welcoming place. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful and my guitar obsessed son is always made to feel welcome to stay as long as he wants. We have made a few purchases here and I'm sure will continue to do so for as long as he keeps playing guitar 🎸 😀

Thanks guys! Excellent Service!

Having bought an Aria fretless acoustic bass from "elsewhere" I popped in for some flat wound strings, a strap and locking nuts. A bit cheeky I know but the guys could not have been more friendly, helpful and informative.
Even when I returned later due to my being unable to stop the string pegs popping out they were not phased. Made me realise I should have gone to them first!!
Thanks guys! Excellent service!
