I highly recommend this shop

I highly recommend this shop. I went here to buy my first electric guitar. The guy listened and asked questions to find out what I wanted, and made enough suggestions to suit either side of my budget without making me feel overwhelmed. There was plenty of time to try the products, with the emphasis on finding a guitar that you love and want to play again and again.

Amazing local guitar shop

An amazing local guitar shop. The guys are knowledgeable and helpful. I bought a lovely sounding Telecaster that was later set up exactly to my specifications and can not be happier. Just came back with a Les Paul, again, set up by them, and it’s a night and day difference. A really strong case in my belief in local businesses. Recommend

Been going here for well over 10 years

Been going here for well over 10 years, never a bad experience; I wonder if the review below is from the competition?!
Anyway, just got sent a pedal that I didn’t know I needed (or loved) until I found out about it from a mailing list email that offered it on a killer deal. Very happy, cheers fellas.

Avoid

Always a passive aggressive experience.
The main guy is just awful. He is so difficult and such a smart arse. He will never miss an opportunity to 'correct' you about nothing... there is quite a lot of upselling too. It's just a really awful experience - luckily we now have a wonderful alternative run by lovely people in Pinner.

I sent this email to Richard at stomp…

I sent this email to Richard at stomp Box after purchasing a really nice fender strat.
Hi Richard
I just wanted to say how delighted I am with the lovely shell pink strat with the solid rosewood neck I bought from you last Tuesday. It is an amazing guitar and I will enjoy playing it. Also thank you for your patience,kindness and courtesy towards myself and my wife it was very much appreciated and I certainly feel that anything musical I need I will be coming back to Stomp Box.

Kind regards

Bob Fletcher

I was looking to purchase an electro-acoustic guitar…

I was looking to purchase an electro-acoustic guitar but didn't know which make or model. After a conversation with Richard about my wish list, he spent well over an hour guiding me and giving me half a dozen guitars to consider. The whole experience meant I could make a decision based on how I felt about the guitar, its sound, feel, look etc. At no stage did I feel Richard was "pushing" any make/model. I purchased a great guitar and am very grateful to Richard for the help, assistance and guidance provided.

Great guitar shop

This is a great little shop with some really unique items as well as the usual stuff. The staff are super friendly and helpful and dont put any peressure on at all.

I would recomend this shop to anyone looking to buy a guitar or accesories or if you just want to try out some unique items. I purchased my first short scale base here with the help of the staff and it is fantastic. So much better than buying online.
