From the moment we walked into the store with our son, the staff were friendly and accommodating and not pushy with sales! After two visits, and playing various guitars, my son walked out with a vinta... See more

Old School Service

It's still very refreshing to wander into a shop, look at their product range on offer (without some irked sales assistant begrudgingly acknowledging your presence), and try things before you buy them. It's all too easy to look, try... then wander out thinking you can buy it cheaper online.
This isn't the case with No Tom. I was looking for a drive pedal (one from the rather splendid Catalinbread range), and spoke with a nice chap from the shop, it was and is lovely, and as my wallet started burning a hole in my pocket my party I was with dragged me off to see some more London sights. So, I did the only decent thing I could have and bought it online from them when I got home. Free postage and it arrived a day later. What's not to like about No Tom?!

Trussart.

Easy, safe transaction and delivery was tracked and very quick . Nice price on a new guitar in the sale. Not informed of some minor dinks.

Guitar repair you can trust

No. Tom Guitars repaired my dad's beloved guitar for his 70th birthday. Did a fantastic job. It was wonderful leaving it somewhere I knew I could trust. Very happy with the work and the service.

I bought a tee shirt................

Went in the shop on a rare visit to that London.
Lots of nice guitars. Even the new ones had soul.
Didn't buy anything due to lack of money.
When I got back home I went on the web to check out their site and bought a tee shirt. It turned up the following day. Am I happy with it? Yes.
What do I think of Americans? Don't ask.

Super service

I bought a cheapish chinese lapsteel but still received a superb customer service. Normally I go for high-end guitars but this one just caught my eye:-)
We discussed about cheap internet shopping and what world we are living in and at some point I thought I would be thrown out of the shop. But here we go. We fully need to support shops like this with such a great service and dedication!
Not only did I get the guitar but I also could encounter a great part of London's finest music history! To me this was a truely memorale shopping experience which I will remember every time playing and looking at my new purchase. Thanks a lot for that.
And then I left the shop as a friend...

in stock?

I was not happy! On the website the item was in stock so I placed annorder and did a payment.
After a few days I got a message that the item was not in stock and I have to wait 14 days.
I suggest that it's better that any custumer can see if a pedal is in stock or not! I specially choose this shop because this pedal was in stock
Kind regards

Item is currently out of stock and we are awaiting a new delivery from the USA. Apologies for the customer not being informed immediately but we offered a full refund after explaining the delay in delivery. Kindly contact us for a full refund if you are unhappy to wait.

Good experience, fast delivery.

Ordered a strap on line which turned out to be out of stock, but excellent communication throughout. Ordered an alternative which still arrived the day after my original order.

Guitar Heaven!!!

Stopped by No Tom Guitars on Denmark Street today & was overtaken by the amount of beautiful vintage guitars! I've always wanted a vintage guitar from my birth year (year withheld :-) ) but the prices were always too high. To my shock I am now the owner of my dream Stratocaster!!! The price was just right & the staff at No Tom couldn't have been more helpful. They answered all my million questions & made me feel like a part of the family.

Chris awsome, but other chap awefull business manners. Never again!

Chris was my first contact at No-Tom, and is very friendly and customer focused employee, pleasure to deal with.

Bought guitar from him, sort of impulse and uneducated shopping, beginner excited with vintage guitar. But as it goes sometimes, changed mind 2-3 weeks after, and decided to return it. Was offered only half of the money spent, or to leave guitar in shop and wait longer, to get all of the money back. Waited for about a month, but guitar wasn't sold. When came back to enquire about guitar or possible half money back as Chris mentioned, in absence of Chris, met another chap, possibly owner (don't know his names, but of course he never mentioned it). If 5 stars goes to Chris, that that man got 0 stars all the way through! Couldn't ever even saying hi, always made me feel unwanted, almost angry I'm even enquiring about sale. His maximum is
2-3 abrupt words ("obviously it's not sold if is still here?"-patronising spring to mind?) stone cold face, "no cash, bad week, come tomorrow, Chris is coming tuesday", etc. He refused to give me half money back, without Chris being there (it's small shop and not international multi corporation, crying outloud, I had my recepit, it takes seconds to refund half money, and 50% is debatable, all other shops are doing 5-15% admin fee). As much Chris made shopping awesome, other chap made sure to change whole experience to humiliating. Arrogance, miserable and negative outlook, no customer service whatsoever, so diagonally opposite of Chris and other staff in shop. Does he hates this business? What a let down. Complete ignorance at it's best, couldn't even bothered to comment, surprised he didn't chucked me out as rubbish!
As long that man is working there I walk opposite side of street whan around.

An unfortunate turn of events that I suspect was lost in translation! The customer enquired in person 2 days earlier as to whether his guitar had been sold. Having been informed that it hadn't he asked that we purchase it. We discussed this possibility but we suggested he wait a couple of days to speak to the member of staff that he had dealt with previously. This was agreed to but the following day he came back and demanded immediate payment having already agreed to wait. He subsequently left with his guitar. We are happy to stick to our original agreement to purchase the guitar if he wishes to return.
