Epiphone Les Paul Special
Second time winning with these guys, hoping for a third soon! :)
Thanks alot to the guys at TGM!
Firstly yes they are legitimate and I…
Firstly yes they are legitimate and I won an awesome vintage telecaster which sounds great the only downsides were not great communications from the the team, just quite unresponsive compared to other similar websites I have won on, and when the guitar came 1 of the screws was loose and then I realised it was because 1 of the control panel screws and one of the bolts holding the switch in place had somehow been swapped round which is a pretty basic error to make with such a guitar! But other than that great guitar and I will return for more... hopefully a bass next
Was really pleased
Was really pleased. Won a standard epiphone les paul after entering only a few comps. Coms was good and the guitar arrived really soon. 5*
I just like how ‘simple’ it is
I just like how ‘simple’ it is - you enter a competition and find out if you’ve won - simples!
I won an acoustic Taylor with these guys. Absolutely love it. Jacob was great to deal with. Great competitions with fantastic odds.
Brilliant - keep up the good work chaps.
TGM always has great (& very tempting) comps- often something a bit special compared to other sites who stick to run-of-the-mill 'high street' guitars. Lightning quick delivery on this latest win; won the PRS 594SC 10 top orange tiger on Thursday evening, guitar delivered to me on Saturday morning. Fabulous!
Had a big surprise this morning.
Had a big surprise this morning when the postman came knocking at the door and seeing the box…🎸
I never thought I was going to win but there you go.
The guitar is a Gibson ES Supreme in Seafoam Green. Fantastic 🎸
I highly recommend TGM, won on Thursday and delivered Saturday.
I have recently won my first Guitar…
I have recently won my first Guitar from Guitar market place and it arrived without any problems
Not all great tones.
Until recently a fairly reliable site..not the greatest communication tbh but I’ve won both a Tele and PRS previously which came as described. I rec’d the site to friends. Then I won a Gretsch cb jr in Sep and got no response at all to emails about it being a few wks late. I was then initially told it ‘hadn’t been delivered to TGM’ before it was finally revealed later by Ben that TGM had posted it to the wrong address and they had issues retrieving it. I have to admit that seemed unlikely to me due to the tracking/signing of deliveries. I was then offered a considerably lower value Gretsch instead which I obviously refused.. Had to then wait 7 wks for another Gretsch cb jr to be acquired by TGM which was not in great condition before transit. Ben agreed and was good enough to give £100 as comp for the sub standard prize.
I put it behind me as a 1 off and then won some Roland headphones on Dec 9th which after a month and more unanswered emails was eventually delivered to a neighbour at my communal billing address instead of my confirmed shipping address. Luckily I received the prize this time.
Maybe not the best site of its kind but I have since received an apology for both incidents and Ben himself is always very helpful.
I once won some site credit
I once won some site credit, but that's it. I don't buy loads of tickets so it must just be my luck. I think the people who win buy loads, as some win multiple times!
Great Guitars at Great Odds
The Guitar Marketplace is great, it has lots of cool guitars at good odds, and you definitely stand a good chance of winning a fab guitar!
Good genuine competition site
Good genuine competition site. I’ve had a couple of nice wins to add to my collection. This is a site that can be trusted to deliver.
I won on my fifth attempt
I won on my fifth attempt, had a punt every 6 months or so, which is not bad odds! Guitar came on 31st Dec after winning on 19th, pretty decent considering Xmas post. Good times! Gamble responsibility
Having been a winner twice and only…
Having been a winner twice and only buying a small number of tickets, the guitar marketplace is an excellent site that really gives you the opportunity of owning guitars that you could only dream of. Fast delivery too
I won the Gibson Les Paul!!
I won the Gibson Les Paul!!! Haha... well, that's really made my Christmas. It arrived so quickly as well - I won on the Thursday night draw and the postman delivered it on Tuesday morning. Ignore the one star review below; you all know that the idea of taking part is to have a chance to win in the draw, and I'm here to say AS A WINNER that the competitions are genuine and the guys have been very responsive and helpful. Good luck everyone, and thank you once again for the opportunity!
To rate a competition is surely…
To rate a competition is surely impossible?
My experience is that I pay money to enter every week for several years and thus far I've one nothing.
Such is gambling, good or bad.
From a practical perspective, I have worked out that I spend enough money on the site over the years to buy the guitar that I would like!! I could be strumming it now!
I know that's not the point but unless you win, there are limited ways of looking at it.
Good selection of guitars. 'Love looking at the pictures!

Brilliant competition!!
Brilliant competition!!! Won a Fender Telecaster on Mondays draw and delivery was within the week.
The guitar marketplace are an amazing
The guitar marketplace are an amazing! You get a chance to win your dream guitar? When you win a guitar! The take care and send it well packaged with care! I have won a few guitars from Guitar Marketplace including! Gretsch white falcon. Gretsch guitar, fender guitars and a Jackson guitar! You can watch it live on Mondays and Thursdays! In which you can interact with the presenter and other people! Where you can have a laugh and joke and win! It’s my favourite time of the week! And great people work with this company! I highly recommend.
These guys are the real deal
Was amazed to win my dream guitar a Gibson les Paul standard with these guys after only entering maybe 3 times?
These guys are the real deal. The guitar arrived packaged well. I've got it back after a set up/repair on the headstock (this is a common thing with second hand Gibson Les Pauls) and the guitar is sounding and playing beatifully
Th guitar was listed as 8 out of 10 on quality for this particular guitar . I'd probably say it was more a 6 out of 10. Regardless its a lot of guitar for the price of a ticket and after getting it sorted out with a set up. This guitar is going to be getting played on stage , in the studio and at home a lot!
Thank you so much to Keir, Ben and the team.
Hopefully I'll win another guitar at some point 😅
Everythings great
Great site with a great range of guitars, I have won a couple and very pleased with the ones received.
The communication from Jacob is excellent.
Highly recommend.
