Excellent

My experience with SPG has been excellent.

I've been following SPG newsletter for a few years now and in my opinion they have the most interesting selection of guitars available from a UK retailer.

So it was only a matter of time before I pulled the trigger and got a guitar from them; a '62 custom shop strat. Delivery was quick, the guitar well packaged and in precisely the condition advertised. In addition, I needed to change the delivery address and so I emailed them and Jack responded very quickly saying he'd sort it out. Can't fault them! I will certainly be back for more.

It is great to hear you have been enjoying the newsletter and our selection over the years, and even better that you finally found the right one with the '62 Custom Shop Strat. We are delighted it arrived quickly and exactly as expected.

Glad we could help with the delivery change too, and we look forward to helping you again when the next one catches your eye.

First time purchasing a guitar from Squealingpigguitars and I have to say it is fantastic. The guitar is fantastic, it came with a perfect setup, excellent wrapped and packaged. The guitar came exactly as described, sounds absolutely amazing. The best thing about Squealingpigguitars is the customer service. The staff are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a guitar then definitely shop here!

OUTSTANDING TRADE EXPERIENCE…

Jack & his crew were outstanding from start to finish when purchase of my Musicman. Very competitive in relation to trading in my old guitars. Squealing Pig Guitars were very reliable in their appraisal and description of the guitar I purchased. Simple no fuss purchase made easy by Squealing Pig Guitars. The staff are super friendly and ensure you get exactly what you need @ a very competitive price. Flawless customer service, seldom found in this world of mediocrity. No pushy or hard sale tactics they just let the top notch stock speak for itself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Excellent service

My first time ordering from Squealing Pig Guitars, but I have to say the service, personal attention and quality of communication has been excellent.

To be fully transparent however, I had made a mistake, (completely my error) when ordering so unfortunately had to request a return. Impressively, the guitar was actually collected from my doorstep with no administration on my part. (For anyone who has had to return anything ordered online, you will appreciate the benefits of having the supplier organise all of this).

On a personal level, I have to say Jack was a gentleman throughout and could not have done anymore for me.

High quality products with the personal attention of a family run business.
