On my recent trip to London I was looking for a guitar to add to my collection. I already have…read moreFender Jazzmaster, Strat and a Gibson Les Paul. I was actually heading to another music store on Denmark Street when I stumbled onto Regent Sounds. There I was greeted by Nick Rob and Maya. They were so super helpful as I explained to them that I was looking for something slightly different, maybe a boutique guitar. They let me try several guitars through a variety of amps and pedals to help me find the right guitar. They also help me navigate shipping it back to NYC for a fairly inexpensive price. So let me just sum it up for you if you're looking to buy an instrument. Regents Sounds music store excels with its wide selection of high-quality of mainstream and boutique instruments and accessories, sure to captivate any music lover. The attentive service from Nick Rob and Maya elevates the shopping experience. Their pricing is competitive and I feel that also enhances the store's overall value, for me Regent Sounds remains a top choice for all music enthusiasts seeking top-notch products and service and I'm sure I'll be back on my next visit to London !

I really love this shop, more to look at guitars than purchase guitars. There are some beautiful, rare fenders with big price tags. The shop definitely specialises in high quality instruments. The only problem, which may not be a problem for everyone, is the fact that they don't sell acoustic guitars. The staff are great, and don't mind if you just want to browse.

As with Wembley Drum Centre, I have been a customer of Footes since I was a kid. I can't say that I…read morehave ever bought any drums here. I have deliberated and bargained many many times, but they often are a little pricey. The things that I have bought over the years are mainly sticks, heads and DVD/VHS. On those items (incidentally the kind of products that seem to have their retail prices fixed by the manufacturer) which are not cheaper elsewhere, I have spent thousands across 15 years with Footes. Customer service can be patchy, but it does depend on the staff who are working there at the time. Way back, the staff were very knowledgeable and really bought me as a young customer. The range carried is not the widest in the world and lacks the custom drum presence of other drum retailers. The small display area is obviously the cause of this, but in Central London, what can one really expect? All in all, I really like Footes and no doubt will be a customer for many years to come.

I was sold my first electric guitar here, took it back because I had a few problems. The technician…read moresaw it and said straight away the neck is defected and will need changing, told me to come back and he will see what he can do. On returning he completely forgot what he first said to me about the neck, instead told me it's absolutely fine, I just need to adjust the bridge to deal with the dead notes past 15 and said that all guitars fall out of tune. Took my guitar to another technician this week, he said the neck is completely done and it should have never been sold. Im out of my 1 year warranty now, so will have to go into my own pocket to buy a new neck. But be very careful with this company, especially the London branch. Don't trust them to give you sound advice if you're new, they might try and sell you defective instruments.

I had been in touch by email with Andy, the store owner over a period of weeks discussing the guitars I was interested in. He immediately made me feel comfortable by recommending guitars that were lower than the budget I told him I had. I ultimately settled on a Contreras C-4 - which the store prices better than any online search I undertook (and I did my research for at least a month). Check stafford guitars for benchmarks in the UK. I live in Brazil, and landed in London and went straight to the store. I told Andy I wanted to pick up the C4 but unfortunately it had been sold. But he sold me the Contreras C1 Spruce top for a price I won't make public here - needless to say it was a great deal. And I'm sure Andy made an effort because we had been in touch over several weeks and had built a rapport. All in all, it was an amazing experience dealing with the Spanish Guitar Centre and it is heartening to see small owner-run shops still exists and able to reconcile making money and getting great deals for customers.

Some of the bigger books are more expensive though, usually more than 10 pounds. The service really is something special.
