YAY FOR DR TIM!

What a brilliant, brilliant shop! We took our electro ukuleles here as they were giving us nightmares. Terrible intonation, all kinds of warped noises coming from them. And unfortunately for Dr Tim, we passed our nightmares onto him!

But Dr Tim is a lovely chap! A permanent smile etched on his face, even though our instruments did their damndest to break him! Dr Tim is no quitter! Several (many!) hours later, custom string set ups on both instruments, and they were transformed! And they can't have been too shabby because people have already tried to book our band again!

Dr Tim is a hero and a genuine all round nice guy! I even offered him a Get Out Of Jail Free Card to never darken his door with our instruments from hell ever again, but he didn't accept it!

YAY FOR DR TIM!!!!

Excellent instruments and customer service

Bought the most wonderful Lakestone guitar from Knighton Music. Beautiful guitar that plays and sounds absolutely wonderful. I recommend Lakestone guitars to everyone.

The service and communication is fantastic and these guys really know their products.

Delivered without hitch I would highly recommend Knighton Music to anybody wanting top notch products and great service.

First class service

I’ve just returned from my first visit to this wonderful shop. I was warmly greeted and found everything I was looking for and a lovely guitar that I didn’t know I wanted (and now that I do I long to go back and buy it - and it was only an hour ago!!). Sarah and her family were all very friendly and I wish I had found them years ago. I could have stayed for hours. On my return I realise I was enjoying myself so much I forgot something so I have just bought it on their Reverb site. Couldn’t praise them highly enough.

My history with Knighton Music Centre

I’ve been visiting and buying guitars from Steve and his crew at Knighton Music Centre for many years.
As such I’ve had many experiences there.
All of the wonderful instruments I’ve bought from him are still with me or I have exchanged them for other guitars from him. I can’t speak highly enough of Steve and the team and when I visit, I always know there will be something special on the wall that will tempt me and end up coming back with me and will never disappoint. Knighton Music specialises in high end instruments like MusicMan guitars, but there’s something there for everybody at all price levels and it’s immediately obvious you are buying from people who know about and love guitars. Don’t risk buying online — you can try without pressure to buy and get it right with support and advice and often a cuppa. Go and see for yourself !!

Fender Strat - Born In The USA!

Hi. Just thought you may be interested to read a review praising a company…
I found on line a Fender Strat that ticked all my boxes: Left-Handed, Olympic White, made in USA, Rosewood fretboard, original Fender case and hardly any marks on it ( it has just one which you would be hard pressed to find). It was listed as for sale by Knighton Music Centre. As I reside 90 minutes by car away, I telephoned and enquired a little about it. Sarah, who jointly runs KMC, kindly provided me with all the answers, inviting me to visit to try it out. We agreed I should visit and when I arrived a few days after telephoning, Sarah welcomed me as though she had known me for years. She even used my name - aint that truly wonderful - made me feel right at home. The Strat was placed on a hanger stand, ready for me to test. She provided a Blackstar valve combo, a stool, and asked if I would require anything else. She informed me of the guitar’s provenance/history, adding that when it first arrived at KMC, it was handed to KMC’s resident professional luthier for inspection and setting up. He did an ace job.
As soon as picked up the Strat I knew it was made and set up for me. I paid by credit card and Sarah threw in a pair of strap locks (very nice). I’m playing it every day and it is absolutely wonderful. Oh yes, I almost forgot, the price…for me, it was a steal. So, a win-win for KMC and me.
KMC is packed to the rafters with guitars and they do a nice niche line in exceptional quality acoustics that are made fairly local to Knighton. Apparently Paul McC has one!

Wow! Thank you Adrian for such a fantastic review. It was an absolute pleasure helping a fellow lefty guitarist find his perfect match. I hope you have many years together making music and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Such a welcoming shop full of beautiful guitars!

I made a special trip to Knighton Music Centre as they are quite a distance from me, and found the staff to be so friendly and welcoming, They carry a wide variety of both acoustic and electric guitars (there could be other instruments there but I was solely focussed on Acoustic guitars and didn't notice), ranging from entry level to some very high class instruments.

Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely lady (Sarah) who dealt wih me and she happily brought me any guitar I wanted to try.

All in all, I wanted to stay longer and did suggest I just move in and pay rent as the shop is guitar heaven :) but I did leave with two absolutely gorgeous guitars (The downside being, I wanted to leave with about 6)

I'm looking forward to paying another visit there again soon

Exceptional Service

Visited for the first time on 18/1/22, on recommendation, on an initial foray, looking to upgrade my instrument. Very welcoming, highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic service, no pressure. Stayed about an hour, trying out various guitars. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

What a great guitar shop

What a great guitar shop! Having moved to the area recently I can’t believe this is on our doorstep. So pleased Tim and Sarah have been able to service and thoughtfully repair 3 of my vintage guitars, and let me try out some of the stunning instruments they’ve got in the shop. Really value their advice, knowledge and friendly chat! Cheers, Rob

Great service

I've used this shop for repairs and purchases, and even to just wander around dreaming of owning one or two of the beautiful instruments they have on display. Great staff who have previously signposted me to a less expensive guitar than the one I was considering buying, it's service like that that will get my return custom.

Came across this shop by chance while holidaying in Welsh border country and ended up buying a fine Gibson SG Classic which is now one of my favourite gigging guitars. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff and an impressive product range. Recommended.
