Essentially, if you're looking for a quality acoustic guitar in Leeds, you go to Northern…read moreAcoustics. Newly housed in the glorious Corn Exchange, this beautiful little shop boasts a veritable bounty of lovely guitars, with an owner who not only has a wealth of knowledge, but an incredibly relaxed and warm attitude about him. In this shop you can feel at ease browsing, chatting, testing and more without feeling the pressure of a salesman. Back in the old location I ended up testing out over four guitars before picking one, and not once did I feel hassled to get on with it. In fact, it was so relaxed I could have happily left it for a few days to mull over without feeling like he'd pressure me to purchase! I have often found in other shops the priority of making a sale, and any old sale at that, takes over and so usually I end up leaving a little irritated. Not the case here. Whether you're looking to start out, move on or branch out with a new guitar you must consider this place first. With some fantastic brands, a wonderful knowledgeable chap at the helm and even Primos downstairs for a coffee (should you need to mull over your decision!) it's an asset to the Leeds music scene.

I traded in an amp but was told it had a "foul" odour. It was sent back to me for which I had to…read morepay the delivery costs. On receiving it I opened it up and my colleague and myself found no such odour. Not surprising really as it was only 5 months old and if anything still had that new fresh smell. To add to this I had always kept it in my office alongside my computer and camera equipment. One extremely annoyed ex customer. Avoid!

This shop is fantastic for anything guitar related in Leeds. I first came across Northern guitars…read morevia a T-shirt my friend was wearing. I used to work in a bar on Call Lane, Dr Wu's, and my friend who owned it was wearing a Northern Guitars T-shirt. I went to find out more and discovered, only a few doors down, this awesome shop. Firstly, they sell almost anything related to electric guitars - new and used electric guitars, amplifiers, effects pedals and so on - and at much less of a price than their close neighbours Music Ground. I once went in looking for a Cry Baby wah wah pedal, with instruction from my Dad *specifically* not to get a Japanese one as they make a 'bow wow' sound not a 'wah wah' sound (honestly, it's true!) and to my delight they had the exact one he had advised me to purchase. It wasn't even a modern version, it was the exact pedal from the era that I needed. They even do repairs on your equipment - awesome. Not only was that fantastic, but they also have another entire shop upstairs. This one, Northern Acoustics, is specifically for acoustic guitars. Despite the shop effectively being small sized room the owner, Val, has filled it with some of the loveliest guitars you could shop for in Leeds. Amongst others, brands include Martin, Faith and Hofner. I would tell you more but the last time I popped in he and my Dad talked guitars for so long I almost fell asleep! Anyway. The point is - guitarists of Leeds. This is your home.

Northern Guitars is a retro-looking little shop with a refreshingly genuine feel. The bloke working…read morethere when I last popped in had the appearance of an authentic aging rocker and had an amiable, relaxed style of customer service with a cheeky helping of banter. Northern Guitars is not as enthusiastically stocked as Music Ground, and their guitar strap section must have been a tenth of the size, but this just adds weight to the feeling that the guys at Northern Guitars are all about the music, not the flashy accessories. They stock some really beautiful guitars, a good range of pedals and pretty much everything else you could need including a huge range of second-hand items.

I've been disappointed by the service compared to other specialist ukelele shops such as southern…read moreukeleles and duke of ukes who are super helpful, friendly and professional. On the phone they were rude. When I asked them to put on strap buttons before sending out they made it a complicated process. They put the neck button centred rather than off-centre as other shops do which looks bad. When I asked about the strings on the uke to get a spare set they gave me the wrong information (told me they were Aquila rather than Worth Browns) When I queried this they were curt rather than apologetic about their mistake. The ukelele sounds good but I would have liked more information about the pattern of the wood on the ukelele they sent which is less attractive than the picture on the website. I was really keen to buy from and support a small company but definitely would not go back to them.

Steve spent10 minutes talking me out of spending more money on a melodeon. I ended up buying another Anglo (oops!) which was cheaper than my current one from MacNeela and infinitely better. Thrilled to bits tbh.
