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!

Best Customer Service
I ordered a custom National guitar through Guitar Village, and couldn't have been more impressed. All the staff I spoke to were knowledgeable and helpful, but a special mention to Adam - the best customer experience I've had in a guitar shop!

Eastman t484
Just ordered this guitar from Guitar Vıllage. The staff throughout this process were excellent and very knowledgeable. They made absolutely sure that ı was happy with the purchase before taking any money. Exceptionally good service compared to some other large and well known musıc stores.

Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate…
Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate staff, and didn't mind when I spent a good long while dithering and trying many different guitars, they even brought me others to try, and not just more expensive than I was already looking at, but cheaper options too.
4th Guitar from the village
My latest purchase from the Village has been a Les Paul Junior. I actually went in to try a few second hands, but ended up coming home with the LPJ. Very helpful staff and though I haven't used it this time, I've always found the after sales free set up to be really useful. I was also really grateful that I got the LPJ at the BGMS 10% off rather than the full price a day early. That was great honesty by them and it's a privilege to go in again and again for repeat custom. That said, better not buy anymore as I'm running out of room at my house....
Had to get my Roger Mayer stuff here
I was looking at Roger Mayer pedals and as far as I can tell, Guitar Village is the only retailer that has had Roger Mayer himself come in for an extensive interview (which is out on YouTube, btw). I felt like they would be able to ensure good inventory of Roger Mayer stuff, and they had the things I was looking for, indeed (Visage 45, Octavia, Voodoo Vibe +). Shipping to Malaysia was super quick too, but shipping cost was a bit on the high side.

Taylor GS Mini purchase
Prompt efficient service and please with the Taylor GS Mini I purchased.
Shipping was perfect
Ordered a new guitar a few days ago (late in the afternoon) and it arrived today. The packaging was a thing if beauty. There was lots and lots of padding everywhere. Guitar was in perfect order and had been packed with the strings detuned (well done for that) and additional padding within the case to protect the headstock and neck. The guitar is excellent and I am very pleased with it but the attention to detail with regards to getting the guitar to me in perfect condition is the best I have seen.
