Excellent Service and Amazing Deal!
I recently purchased the Supro Delta King 12 Black on Black Combo amp from this shop, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The amp was sold at an incredible price of just 398 euros, which is an amazing deal considering the quality and features of this amp. It was delivered brand new in the box, exactly as described, and the condition was perfect.
The service provided by the shop was outstanding. The ordering process was smooth and hassle-free, and the delivery was impressively quick. I received the amp in just a few days, which was much faster than I expected. The packaging was secure, ensuring the amp arrived in pristine condition.
Overall, I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for great deals on high-quality musical equipment. Their excellent service, quick delivery, and unbeatable prices make them a top choice for musicians. Thank you for providing such a wonderful shopping experience!

Best service around
Best service around, yet again. This time I must admit to have been quite a difficult customer: not only did I want that particular guitar, but even wanted it modded at the same time I came in, which was late in the afternoon. The team had it all covered, completely allowing me to have my cake and eat it there and then.
I was even accompanied back to the station in order to keep my new acquisition, including the case, brand new.
Thanks a lot and again Paul, Max, Wouter and of course Robbert. See you next time!

Problem Resolved to my Complete Satisfaction
I purchased a D'Angelico Tour Excel Mini guitar from their webshop. When it arrived I noticed a minor cosmetic issue, so I returned it to the shop. They resolved the problem to my complete satisfaction.
By the way, the 'setup' done by guitar techs from Max Guitar was perfect!

They are the best!
When I was very young my father used to play money for nothing on the stereo really loud in his car and he was realy into dire straits . When I turned 16 my best friend played guitar and got me even more into dire straits & I began to learn the songs and his famous fingerpicking . Mark knopfler to me is the greatest guitarist.
i’ve been to 3 concerts with him to.
I always dreamt of to own a schecter Stratocaster Custom shop since I was like 18 years old. Luckily they had one for sale. - A sultan custom shop prototype gen1.
I called them on a Wednesday and they kept it reserved for me. I traveled from Denmark to den haag - about 800km. I realy hope I can justify and find an excuse to visit them again. Its a stunning guitar store at a beautiful location🥹
When I arrived they were waiting for me even though I arrived 25 min before they actually opened.
They made me a cup of coffee and the people working there really makes you feel welcome.
I can’t remember one time I had such a good experience.
They are the best!😇
If I’m in a situation where I want to buy another unique guitar I will absolutely take the trip to Max Guitar again.

MaxGuitar is more than just a shop, it’s an experience!
I’ve been going back to MaxGuitar for about 7 years now. I bought a wonderful Gibsons ES335 Custom Shop there, which I traded back for my dream Gibson Les Paul. I bought an EXCELLENT American Original 60’s Stratocaster there (which was the last sunburst one to come in before the series ended and they messaged me when it came in because they knew I wanted one), and recently I bought the Fender Tone Master RF 12 for my Helix. Every time they somehow manage to make it a wonderful experience being there! (Ps: their coffee is excellent) I’ve been there many times just to try out gear, amps, guitars, just to see if there’s anything good for me. They always give me all the space and time I need to poke around and play whatever I desire. As a photographer I also enjoy taking pictures of their amazing collection of guitars, especially the Gibson Custom Shop guitars. (PS: Sometimes there’s a crazy guitarist called Sasha there demoing for Youtube, be warned about him, you could have a great laugh if interaction takes place 😋) Al in al, excellent shop, great employees, great owner and amazing collection of guitars, amps and related products! Worth visiting even if you’re not planning to buy anything (but be warned, you WILL be tempted to go home with something from their amazing collection).

Gibson Nighthawk 1998
Gibson Nighthawk 1998
Bought this rare guitar for what I think to be an excellent price. Really happy with this instrument. Quick responses over email. Minus 1 star because:
- the advertised tuning/check-up apparently didn't happen – frets are buzzing and truss rod cover was really stuck as if no one adjusted it in 26 years (not to mention recently)
- the guitar wasn't new as stated on the website (close to new but not new) – small dent and scratches.
The points above wouldn't have stopped me from buying the guitar. As I said before, really happy with it. Still, the points above might be important for some people so it wouldn't be fair to give 5 stars. Everything is great otherwise!

Max Guitar is the greatest guitar store I ever visited
Max Guitar is the greatest guitar store I ever visited. And beleive me I am not a young man. Robert proposed me a couple of acoustic guitars and I have chosen a special Johnny Cash Martin D-35. It was delivered very fast to Hungary and perfectly packed. The guitar is not just beutiful but sounds great. Exactly what I expected. I just can offer Max Guitar for guitar players and lovers. And furthermore ... Robert speakes a lot of languages including Hungarian.😃👍
Great products and knowledge
Great products and knowledge, not just an average store selling music equipment.
The Best of the Best
The Best of the Best in guitars and repair service and creativity to solve the problem. And useful tips to prevent coming to repairs. But Max Guitars is time we'll spend with an amazing collection and wonderful crew.
and...great knowledge of Greek philosophers as well, always nice to start a conversation.
Another great buying experience at Max…
Another great buying experience at Max Guitar today. I THOUGHT I would be walking out with a Gibson 335 but with some well placed suggestions I ended up with a Heritage 535 and I couldn't be happier.
As always - you get the time you need to make the right decision and with great advice. You get taken seriously as a customer. Super welcoming and friendly place, always a pleasure to shop here.

An online store you can really trust!
Apart from excellent prices, super fast delivery and well packaged items, all the staff I interacted with were helpful, friendly and super efficient. This store is one of the best around and their customer service and willingness to go beyond expectations is second to none! You can buy with full confidence from these guys! A special 'thank you' to Wouter! :)

Bought a used Martin guitar with some challenges in the process... The assistance and service provided was very good - seriously recommend MaxGuitar for their professionalism and support

Happy customer here
Happy customer here, good experience. If you have the opportunity, definitely visit the store in person. They have a great collection of electric and acoustic guitars, cabines to try them out, good prices and the salesmen are not the pushy kind. I was very happy to pay a visit and find "my" guitar!

Eastman E10DTC
Bought an Eastman dreadnaught with a trade in over the post - smooth process overall and Frank was very helpful. Would definitely recommend!
A truly outstanding guitar store
Robbert, the store owner, is incredibly friendly and hospitable, well connected in the guitar world, and really knows his stuff. I drove all the way from Germany to trade in a guitar, and Robbert was extremely supportive all along the way, offering me a great deal and even helping me find a hotel. He even took time on his off day to wrap up the deal with me! The rest of the team were also very supportive and helpful.
Max Guitar has really beautiful gear available, such as Fender and Gibson Custom Shop guitars, Eastman guitars, but also more entry-level, budget-friendly equipment. They are also one of the very few Two-Rock dealers in Europe.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Max Guitar, it’s been a great experience and it’s definitely worth a trip.
