Written by the company
For decades Guitar Village has been assisting guitar players (from complete beginners to famous household names) find their perfect guitar. We only close 4 days a year* giving customers every opportunity to get down to our shop situated in the South of England 45 minutes from central London. *Since the pandemic, we have been closed on Sundays. Guitar Village houses a plethora of well over 1,000 guitars, amps and effects spread throughout 15 demo in our 15th century listed building - a landmark of the picturesque medieval market town of Farnham, Surrey. There is a special kind of ‘homey ambiance’ that makes for a more relaxed shopping experience. The staff at Guitar Village all play guitar (a necessity to work here unlike some guitar shop salesmen!) and have an extensive in-depth knowledge and ability to guide customers to the right guitar. We also have a full-time tech on hand to help with any issues and set-up requirements. We do everything from brand new to used and vintage guitars so whether you are after the latest innovations and reissues, a reliable workhorse or rare collector's item, we are sure you'll find it here. As a long-established guitar specialist, Guitar Village has built up firm relationships with all the major manufacturers over the decades and are proud to be authorised dealers for Fender, Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Gretsch, PRS, Ibanez, Ernie Ball Music Man, Lowden, National, Faith, Takamine, Rickenbacker, Collings, Guild, Larrivée, Marshall, D'Angelico, Mesa Boogie, AER, Cornell, Vox, Orange, Boss, Jim Dunlop, Roger Mayer, ThorpyFX, Strymon, Electro Harmonix, and many others. A range of 0% and low-interest finance options now help the guitarist find the correct instrument for them without the price tag being an issue by spreading the cost into easily manageable payments. Free next-day shipping to mainland UK is also available on most products bought online for those unable to visit. We sell guitars worldwide through our website but a personal visit to the shop to take all of this in is very much recommended!

First class
First class!
Been looking to pick up a nice epiphone i’d had my eye on as a birthday present for myself. Came across a listing at guitar village at a much better price than I could find elsewhere (over £100 difference). Happily saw they were an independent company so took the plunge. Item dispatched quickly and securely. Very impressed with the guitar set up(often not an option when buying online). Played beautifully out of the box. And I’ve barely put it down since.

Fast Service and Fantastic Set Up.
Guitar Village do what they say they do! Great delivery all as promised. The guitar came set up beautifully ready to play, and all this completed with next day delivery. Absolutely fantastic! It will be a while before I will need another guitar but would recommend Guitar Village without a doubt and I would use them again. Could not ask for any more, I cannot sing their praises higher enough. Oh and by the way the Cort Modern Black is beautiful and glad I took the plunge!

Poor delivery performance
Ordered a Shergold masquerader on line Thursday morning for next day delivery but UPS advised delivery late following Monday when it duly arrived. Contacted store multiple times over the period but gained no improvement on this poor performance.
Guitar itself was well packaged and in good condition after rectifying fret buzz.
Given the reviews elsewhere for this shop expected a better experience.

After struggling to order an amazing looking guitar via the financial route (no reflection on the company concerned I might add, I tried the more direct route in purchasing it, but would you believe it I still had problems! But thanks entirely to Richard who managed to find the problem was with my email address! He was successful in the sale much too my absolute delight. Thanks also goes to the other customer service crew who were at hand to offer help to a frustrated customer. Well done guys.
