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!

Friendly shop
On this occasion I needed to engage the returns process - not due to any fault in the instrument. The staff were friendly during the sales process, and understanding during the returns process. I would use again.
Excellent price match and service
I have used Guitar Village for several purchases in the past and always been happy with their personal service. On this occasion they honoured a price match with a competitor and I know that when I receive the guitar it will have been subject to their pre delivery checks.

Amazing customer service
Amazing customer service . Been buying playing guitars for years and buying new guitars can be exciting but also worrying especially from online sales . I bought a lovely Taylor 914ce . I can put your mind at rest with guitar village they will provide 5 star service and great communication. Highly recommended

Guitar number 2 from Guitar Village
This is my second guitar I have purchased from guitar village and would have no doubt in buying again from them.
Great service and fantastic set up
Great service and fantastic set up. Excellent and very efficient service. Arrived the next morning after ordering the previous afternoon.
I asked for a nice low action on my Martin D-18, and it was set up perfectly. This is the first, of many guitars I’ve bought, that didn’t require any adjustments at all. I could just play my new guitar, (which is amazing) without having to change the strings and adjust anything.
Well done and thank you GV
Not gonna lie
Not gonna lie, I'm no rockstar, but this acoustic guitar makes me sound way cooler than I actually am. It's like my secret weapon for instant musical street cred.
I could not fault the service one bit
I could not fault the service one bit, from talking to Adam on the phone to receiving my guitar the next day. Adam could not have been more helpful talking me through my purchase. The guitar far exceeded my expectations in build quality and sound. (eastman ac 330 e 12 string) very impressed indeed, So all in all i am a very happy customer, and will definitely will be useing guitar village again.
Synthpathy for the pedal!
Purchased a Boss SY-1, best price on the net as part of GV’s sale, bulletproof packaging and speedy delivery. Recommended.
Excellent all round
Guitar Village made buying a guitar from the UK and having it shipped to Europe super easy. Communication was fast and clear, shipping prompt and the product arrived on the exact day it was supposed to. The guitar was perfectly set up
with fresh strings and very well intonated.
