Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Absolutely top-notch customer service."
  • "Really wonderful and knowledgeable staff, happy to listen and chat; super responsive; no real hard sell but straight to the point."
  • "The staff are always so welcoming and helpful. Their product knowledge is superb and they are always happy to provide suggestions when you aren't completely sure what you are looking for."
  • "The guy that served me could not have been more helpful, and did not try pushing me outside my price bracket."

Cons:

  • "I've had nothing but problems with it but Guitar Guitar are doing very little to help."
  • "Beginners beware...we went there on Saturday to look for my first guitar, as soon as I stated my budget it was as if it was a state of 'oh not gonna bother with you not worth it' being a beginner I needed what I would say the most help in choosing the right guitar but little help I got."
  • "While trying out a acoustic guitar a male member of staff approached my father with a condescending tone and asked him to remove his jacket as it can damage the guitar."
  • "I've never felt so humiliated there's ways of saying things and when it's an accident telling someone to 'be more careful' in a patronising way is not what I call service especially when left alone in the first place to fend for myself!!"
  • "The sales rep looking after me made a number of snide remarks about me trying out different basses."
  • "Before l made a purchase the staff were friendly and helpful. But as soon as l made a purchase and discovered that the item wasn't functioning properly and tried to return it, that's when the nightmare began."
  • "Zero effort was made with us by the many disinterested staff in an empty shop."

Cons:

  • "When I went to try a Duff Mckagan P-Bass it didn't even work (electronics problem)."
  • "Ordered 3 6 tier guitar stands online only to be told on the day of collection they had non."
  • "Who on earth boasts an eclectic rare selection online, but displays only 5 left handed in store?"
  • "Generally seems to have a lot of choice although not in the 3/4 size we were looking for."
  • "Ordered an item that said there was 6 in stock only to receive an email to say there wasn't any in stock."
  • "It always seems that when there is something I wish to buy, it always seems to be in stock in the Glasgow branch and not this one."

Cons:

  • "Over the past 12 months the service provided has gone really down hill."
  • "Really rate this store..but disappointing this time, bought the last one in the shop so was still hanging on the wall..No box, no manufacturers paperwork..crudely wrapped in bubblewrap..got it home batteries went flat in under 2 minutes.."
  • "After being casually directed to where the keyboards were, we were left standing by numerous keyboards alone trying to turn them on."
  • "Nice selection of guitars and lovely shop, but I have to say that, having gone there with £500 in my pocket to spend I was completely put off by the first salesman who I met."
  • "The salesperson dealing with the trade-in clearly had no idea what sort of guitar he was dealing with."
  • "Got told off by staff for taking a guitar off the wall to look at/feel."
  • "To sum up, Guitar Guitar made a promise, wasted my time going to their store on the basis of their promise, then reneged on it and made entirely unjustified excuses to try and wriggle out of their commitment."
