I'm not a guitarist. Well, I used to be, I lapsed when finances dictated that I needed to sell my guitars. Having said that, the guitars in here did make me drool a little. I didn't have time to look at all of them, or indeed any (I was only here for an autograph signing) but I will say the staff were excellent in managing the horde who were just there to be there, and not actually spend any money. Waiting inside the shop made my mind bend with the sheer number of guitars available in here. My friend, who is into guitars, wandered off to look at them rather than get an autograph and a picture, and he seemed to have just as good a time as me, although he was upset at not being able to buy anything! I think, when I get back into guitaring, and I will, this will be the first place I come for some advice and supplies. Rock on, Mother Hubbard! read more

guitarguitar - Technically described as "hunners of guitars" - Guitar Stores Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

One of the many music shops in Glasgow, this one is marked by housing a huge selection of guitars. The shop has pretty high ceilings and manages to cram every conceivable inch of space with guitars. They also have a good selection of acoustic guitars, but not as good as McCormacks. I'm rarely down Trongate way, which is the main reason why I never really go here. Trivial, but there are so many other places that have guitars of the same calibre and at the same price or even cheaper. I only ever dive in for accessories now and then, with 3 principal guitars keeping me occupied thesedays, my acoustic, Judith, my bass, Magdalena and my electric, Rose. I know, I know. Regardless, worth checking out. Cant rate any higher the importance of shopping around when it comes to guitars. read more

What a selection this place has! You only need to walk through the door and see the huge array of guitars covering the whole wall space (and the walls are massive!) to realise this. The place seems big enough already but go in further and you'll see that there is even another full room devoted to acoustic guitars, though unfortunately there are all in the higher price ranges. For beginners instruments you should go to McCormacks - this place is more meant for the serious musician. Just about every major guitar brand is availible here, though some are relatively inexpensive. There are some good deals on certain ones and although some are very expensive, the more pricey the better the quality. As well as so many types of electric and acoustic guitars, there is also a good selection of basses. Guitars come in all sorts of different colours, shapes and sizes - from the jagged, scary looking BC Rich's to the traditional, round Gibson Les Pauls. The staff here are also very helpful and happy for you to try out any equipment. It is a very large store but is still absolutely hoaching with guitars everywhere you look. I'm not sure if all of the guitars are just display models, but if they do have extra stock put aside, the question is, where do they find the bloody space for it!! read more

This is a really impressive huge store I've never seen so many beautiful instruments all in one place! Everyone was very helpful and friendly when my husband and I went in there the other day for the first time. This place has an impressive range of guitars, amps and accessories of all kinds. They claim to have Scotland's largest guitar selection with over 1000 in stock and the UK's largest Gibson and Epiphone range, and they offer part exchange as well. Billy is a fully qualified luthier and extremely good at what he does; see him right away if you need any repairs or set-ups to your guitar, we can recommend him without hesitation. read more

Dos thou Rock, Thrash, Pluck, Funk,Groove, Hammer or Mash? Well if so, and you happen to do any of these things on a guitar shaped instrument, then this my good friend may very well be the place for you. This place is lovely. With an excellent range of guitars and gear all laid out in a browsing friendly way, which is nice as some places can be a little cramped, leading to an awkward feeling when the staff start looking at you,sniffing out a sale. I like this joint. Been in a couple of times and never at any point did i feel like a piece of shit. Any part time players out there will know the feeling of walking into a guitar or music shop and having the eyes of the lank haired neck shredder follow you in a " you ain't a player" kind of way. Ok, this place is still run by "guitar guys" and any stupid question is still likely to raise a tut or smug chuckle, but hey that's pretty much par for the course. hit this joint if your on hunt for a new axe or just fancy a lovely wee browse, yum, tasty. read more

Guitars....everywhere! Being a guitar shop, you would expect this, without a doubt, however, this place is actually CRAMMED with guitars, and guitar related items. I narrowley avoided a catastrophe in here the other week as my bag hit one of the guitars, and I could see one of those horrible cartoon domino-effect scenes where everything falls with an almighty crash, and I'm standing in the middle looking sheepish. Luckily, one of the store assistants caught the first guitar before any damage was done. Needless to say, I felt like a complete tool - he assured me however that it happens a lot. Right... Anyway, they have a massive selection of guitars, and the staff seem to have a handle on the situation (waaaay!), so I'm sure if you have any guitar related queries, they'll happily sort you out. read more

have had an absolute nightmare experience with guitar guitar. First I ordered epiphone 2014 dot cherry pre owned a orange crush 20 amp and a lead. I recieved an email to say they would be delivered Monday. So I booked the day off work. I did aive chat Sunday Monday to conform it would be mo day and again I was told it was being processed and woukd be with me Monday. An hour later I recieved an email to say there had been an error and someone had already purchased the guitar and it was no longer available. I asked for a manager to call me back to sort this mess. I recieved a call rom a manager to say apologise and say he had found another one in the exact same condition and colour and woukd send that for delivery but couldn't make the Monday. I understood and said Tuesday would be fine so I contacted my manager and booked another day of work as I was told all deliveries must be signed for. I recieved an email from DPD to say all 3 parcels were on there way to the Birmingham depot with 3 separate order numbers. The next morning I received another email each with a one hour time slot. Firs the guitar was delivered. Then I recieved 2 more emails one with an updates time for the lead and 1 to say the amp would no longer be delivered today and would probably be delivered Wednesday. I co tacted DPD and they said the parcel had not been recieved in time for a Tuesday delivery. Now I have to book a third day off work losing 3 days pay for an order thst only totals £410 so with lost earning this order has cost me nearly £800. The service is a joke of I'd known you used DPD I wouldn't have ordered in the first place they are the worst delivery company out there. My company has stopped using them after we had a parcel thrown over the company gates. The whole experience with guitar guitar has been a nightmare and one I will not go through again. I was looking at purchasing a number of guitar but will not risk this type of thing happening again. I have posted a review and will continue to inform people of social media of the experience I have had. As I explained in the webchaàt and when I spoke to the manager the items were a birthday present. I had to tell my son he had to wait until he came back from school for his present then I had to give him a guitar he couldn't play it's been a disgusting experience. One other need to know before making a purchase from guitar guitar. The only bright side to the experience is the guitar is in excellent condition and when I post the reviews I will mention that to make the review honest and a fair account of what has happened. read more

We came here on a Ukelele buying excursion, about which I was very excited! I didn't really want to go to GuitarGuitar given that it's a chain and all that, but from looking online, they seemed to have the right selection and price for a starter Uke for me. But also, my partner's teenage son gets majorly chuffed when we go to GuitarGuitar - he probably thinks it's 'epic' or something like that. So we thought we'd give it a try. The first guy was super nice and very helpful. He gave us a few pointers, a bit of chat, and appropriately left us to our own devices. After staring at all the Ukeleles for a few minutes, we had a question but nice guy was with other customers by that point so dismissive guy dealt with us instead. I can't quite put my finger on what it was about dismissive guy, but he just seemed to be slightly irritated maybe at having to deal with Uke newbs. So we left, cos we wanted to see what other guitar shops had too. Long story short, we came back and thankfully got nice guy again, and bought a Ukelele. I also bought associated stuff like a tuner and some chord and tune books. I had a big cheesy on my face and told nice guy I was really excited about learning the Ukelele. 'You should be!' he said. In case you're wondering, it's a blue one. read more

Ordered a guitar from GuitarGuitar as a birthday present to myself. Very Excited to receive my new guitar, along with some various other bits. When it arrived at work my initial thought was, that doesn't look packaged very well and where are the other parts I ordered. Opened the first box and assumed the parts would be in the outer packaging with some sort protection i.e bubble wrap of shredded tissue. Nothing Just a guitar shaped box inside of another box, opened the 2nd box thinking maybe they have put some transit protection in there. Again no protection at all just a small bit of polystyrene under the neck with all the other parts I had ordered loose inside with the guitar sat on top and around the neck. As I removed the guitar I started to notice some oddities with how the guitar was sitting. Turned the guitar to the side only to my horror the neck was split and snapped almost in half to the fret board. Initially GuitarGuitar were very prompt in responding to my emails and very apologetic and arranged a next day courier to collect the damaged guitar and said they would refund me in full for the damaged guitar. It has now been over 7 working days and I am yet to receive my refund, GuitarGuitar said it can take up to 14 working days to refund but usually processed within 5-7 which is Bull! Never have I known any refund from any company to take more than 5 working days to refund money, especially PayPal refunds. I emailed GuitarGuitar again yesterday and was told they would have the money refunded by the end of the day, I have not received anything. Another company that are quick enough to take your money but want to hold on to it as long as possible, from something that could have been easily avoided if they had packaged the guitar adequately. Which is strange as a company that deals mainly with online orders you would expect better. read more

I have a love hate relationship with this place. The choice of quality, well picked instruments and amps is fantastic. You can usually find something a bit different here with amp names you won't usually find in other music stores around the city. My problem with it is that the selection is too good and the prices are usually outwith my range. If I come into money, get signed to Capitol or maybe learn to save and not spend then this is one of the first places I would come to immerse myself in guitar heaven. read more

As the name would suggest, there are plenty of guitars in here. In fact, I for one wouldn't have objected to another "Guitar" being added to its title to emphasise just how many there actually are. The result is one of the best stocked music shops in the city, although also one of the most expensive. Part time players may be better off with smaller scale shops but if you know your stuff, chances are you will be in here for a very long time indeed. Also good for accessories. read more

I have used Guitar Guitar for years and the service just isn't what it used to be. I recently bought a guitar online from them at £599 only to receive an email the following day, after they took my payment, to say that the item is no longer in stock. I have been advised that it can take up to 2 weeks for a refund and will now miss this weeks sales due to their pitiful systems. This seems to be a common theme at the moment going with other recent reviews I have read. I advise to go into the store or shop elsewhere. Stay clear of their website! read more

They abused customer rights to accept a faulty item within 30 days when I tried to return an ibanez guitar and get my money back. They are not familiar with customer rights and lied to me dozens of time by telling me stuff taken from space like the guitar is dirty because on its glossy finish are visible fingerprints which half of them was left by them when they force screwed the tremolo lever to prove to me that it is not loose on movement. Next, they tried to make a full from me by forcing me to believe that it is normal when E1 guitar string is jumping behind the frets on the neck edge. After checking on many guitars within the store and not finding a single one which would have the same issue they still didn't want to refund my money. One tall guy was relay arrogant to the point of being rude and unproffessional. There were obvious sings of usage after 20 days of me playing the guitar like fingerprints or darkened strings. This is fine in terms of customer rights, as long as the item has no other porpously damage done. But the tall guy never heard about it. Also I had an issue where after couple of days the cosmo black paint from metal equipment started to wearing off. He called this abuse of the instrument. Well, if you want to buy an instrument - better avoid this store. EDIT: they send the guitar to Epsom for an inspection because they stated that at Camden are no technicians. After one week I contacted them and they replied that at Epsom was no technician but their technician at Camden store should look it up next week. THE WORST BUYING EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD read more

GG has a terrific selection of guitars, the staff are knowledgeable and not too pushy. So far I have bought three instruments from them but they do not stock Ovations which is why they only get 4 stars. read more

Wall to wall guitars! It's pretty damn impressive how many guitars have managed to be crammed in here. Prices are pretty average. I've found staff to be OK, but it's maybe because they always seem pretty busy. There are other places I would try before here for buying gear, but only because I would get a better crack at trying something before I go for it...not to say that I'm one of these guys who spends ALL DAY trying out a guitar or an amp. I just kinda feel like I should be pretty quick in here coz of the number of other folks looking like they'd like me to hurry up so they can try something lol. Some crackin' selections in amps like Bogner, Egnater and Sound City and that though, so pretty cool. read more
