Popped in yesterday to trade in all my beginner bass player buying mistakes against a more sensible Purchase, staff were brilliant and I had a great experience, the trade in prices were actually well above my expectations and if someone is thinking about buying second hand from these guys I can certainly tell you it was all well tested and checked over Guy who looked after me and sorted everything out, Toby Squared was a credit to the shop and went above and behind to get everything done. Will 100% continue using Andertons in the future.

Great store, well stocked, good prices

Store has great selection of guitars, amps and everything you'd ever need. Staff are very helpful and there are soundproof rooms for you to try guitars out in.
Overall can't recommend this store enough. They have a You Tube channel as well which is well worth a look!

Reply from Andertons Music Co.

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the courier’s delivery slot coincided with the time you were unavailable. The order was placed on a next-day service with delivery scheduled between 8 am and 6 pm, with the courier providing a more specific one-hour window on the morning of delivery. Following the unsuccessful attempt on 6 July, the parcel was rearranged and successfully delivered the following day.

I'm also sorry to hear about the issue with the tremolo arm. We would always encourage customers to contact us before purchasing replacement parts, as we may be able to arrange a suitable replacement or another resolution, avoiding the need for you to cover the cost yourself. We’re pleased that you were ultimately able to resolve the issue.

Please contact me at help@andertons.co.uk if you require any further assistance, and I will be happy to help.

Kind regards,

Matt Beesley
Customer Service Manager

Andertons Music delivered excellent service. When my audio interface developed an issue, they handled the replacement quickly and professionally. Their team was courteous throughout the process, and the whole experience felt smooth and well‑managed. Highly recommended.

Guitar arrived in pristine condition within a few days of sorting out import duties but unfortunately had some issues with the wiring harness. My local shop was able to get everything sorted for about $10 (fixed a few solder joints). Setup on the guitar was phenomenal. Despite a massive difference in time zones Anderton's support was very responsive. This has been a great experience.
