Nick S. - 3/11/2024
Second time purchase from Guitar Guitar (and it's a 45 min drive for us!). We went there based on great feedback from others and we've had fantastic service on both occasions. My daughter is 13 and they spent loads of time with her showing her different options and allowed her to spend time in a side room playing different guitars. They were also brilliant when she needed one of the wires sorting on her electric guitar, they fixed it at no charge (even though we were at fault). Can't fault them.
Bruce G. - 24/9/2024
Thought I’d try the 9s for a change but not got round to fitting them yet
