Doghouse Music is a proper music shop and is able to serve all your musical needs. It had long been…read morean ambition of mine to learn guitar and I descended upon Dog House in search of something to get me started. There were a number of packages on offer for a beginner such as myself. Guitar, case and tutorial DVD combo packages are available at very reasonable and affordable prices. If you're an experienced player then there are plenty of goods and deals to suite your needs too. Guitars are not the sole focus of the shop. Other instruments are available to either take away or order in, as is sheet music. The gentleman who runs the shop is clearly passionate about music and customer service. He knows music and he knows his stock and was able to give me good guidance on a guitar package which met my needs. Dog House is located at the bottom of the Broadway, out of the way of the main shopping centre which means the area is not as congested. Parking is available in side streets which are on pay meters but don't risk by not paying as the main traffic office is up the road meaning parking wardens are up and down the road regularly dishing out tickets.

My 13 year old son has been learning the guitar and doing really well so wants a decent guitar for…read morehis birthday in June. I took him to this shop so he could try out some different guitars and get an idea of what was available but the guy in the shop was totally disinterested. His attitude was "Come back in June, it is pointless trying any guitar unless you are ready to buy it." I explained my son just wanted to see how different guitars felt and played so he could get an idea of what he wanted but still the guy would not let him try any. I know all guitars are different and stock can change but if there had been a guitar there today my son really liked I would have bought it now or put down a deposit. The "couldn't care less" attitude of the guy today has lost him a sale and assured that I will never go back there. He was explaining to a previous customer how he had tried selling drums but nobody was interested. Well I am not surprised if that is how he treats customers. A wasted journey, wasted parking meter money and a disappointed 13 year old sums up my visit to this shop.
