About Guitars

We are hugely passionate about guitars in all various forms and guises. We live and breathe electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, guitar amps & guitar pedals and our goal is to bring you the UK's most wonderful selection of guitars.

We mix up the biggest brands - Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Martin, Epiphone & Taylor - with a huge range of more specialist instruments from manufacturers including Strandberg, Mayones, Cole Clark and Maton to provide a wealth of choice for all budgets and requirements. Electric, acoustic and bass guitars are all equal in our eyes and so several of our stores have dedicated acoustic departments and bass spaces, including an entire floor of bass equipment in our Glasgow store.

Whilst we have a lot of specialist equipment, we are equally devoted to those just beginning to enter the world of guitar. These first steps are very important and we realise this - we have staff specially trained to guide you to the products you need to get you playing easily and happily. Your experience is what makes the magic happen for us, whether that is on our website or in one of our stores. If you plan to visit a guitar shop or browse online, make sure you head to guitarguitar.

Frequently Asked Questions about Guitars

Question: How much does a good guitar cost?

That's easy! Every guitar is a good guitar. The important question to ask yourself is "What am I looking for?". Are you a beginner or an experienced player? Do you play the blues or heavy metal? Do you need something to travel with, or are you adding to your already incredible collection? Each guitar we sell fits a variety of purposes, and they can all suit you if you need them to. No matter your budget you'll walk away with the guitar that suits you, and if you need some advice we're always here to help.

Question: How long does it take to learn guitar?

How quickly do you want to learn? For some it takes weeks practicing several hours a day, and for others it can take a few months to get the hang of it at a slower, steadier pace. What matters most is your commitment and drive to play. The more often you practice and the more you challenge yourself the quicker you'll learn. It never hurts to get some advice or direction and this is where a good teacher or instructional video can help. Keep practicing, keep learning, and you'll be playing confidently in no time!

Question: What are the three types of guitars?

Acoustic, Bass and Electric are the three main types of guitar. Acoustics have hollow bodies that produce the sound and do not need any extra equipment to play. They come in all shapes and sizes to fit a wide range of players and musical genres. Electric guitars are usually made of solid wood, and produce sound through an amplifier and on board electronics called pickups. Like the Acoustic there is a large selection of body shapes, but also pickup combinations depending on what music you like to play. Basses are like bigger electric guitars, but usually come with four strings that are much thicker than normal. They sound deep and low and just like the electric guitar have pickups that need an amplifier in order to produce sound.

Question: Is acoustic or electric guitar better for beginners?

The best guitar for learning is the one that will keep you playing! They both have pros and cons, but you want something that will keep you coming back for more, so think about what music you like. Is it rock and heavy metal with loud electric guitars? Is it finger picked or pop style acoustic? Start with something that matches what inspired you to play and you'll never look back.

Question: How many strings does a guitar have?

Standard electric and acoustic guitars have six strings and basses come with four. This is the sound most associated with each of these instruments. Variations of these exist such as seven stringed electrics, twelve string acoustics, five string basses and even more! The extra strings are there to provide a wider range of sounds for different styles of playing or genres of music.
