Here's a once in a lifetime chance to snaffle a top quality instrument. We've priced some Guild electrics and Martin acoustics so low it makes our eyes water. There's a Guild Thunderbird, a Guild Aristocrat, a Martin Norman Blake model, a Martin M-38 as played by David Bromberg. And much more - every instrument a [...]
We have a very limited number of Oscar Schmidt autoharps available. These instruments from one of the original makers are high quality but very reasonably priced. We have had many phone calls from musicians in search of autoharps in recent times so we were very pleased to unearth some stock, albeit very limited.
We have a good selection of Gladiator Tele style and Strat style electric guitars available at very reasonable prices. We know there are literally hundreds of cheap copies available these days but the Gladiators are something special. Experienced guitarists who have played them in the shop have been amazed at the look, feel and sound [...]
This guitar, completed in December 2010 by Ian Watchorn, is made of aged (40 year) Spanish cypress and European spruce with a Cuban cedar neck and Brasilian rosewood headplate and bindings. The fingerboard and bridge are ebony with bone trim. The pegs are actually “PegHed” planetary tuners and do a great job, both tuning and [...]

The shop is sometimes a a place where great and idiosyncratic musical minds meet. We encourage such collaborations. Here are three videos shot recently in the shop. Firstly Muhammad plays kora and Gerry joins in on fiddle. Muhammad came in to get a new pickup fitted on his kora (a twinhead K&K if you're interested) [...]
We are big fans of square neck, lap style instruments here at Guitar gallery. Gerry and Graham have played them for longer than they'd care to remember and Pepi is even beginning to try her hand, and doing pretty well we think. We like to think that we didn't choose to play these instruments purely [...]
A couple of years ago we had Stromberg guitars in the shop and they impressed us very much. They're back and at a new low price that makes them a mouthwatering prospect. We are currently stocking the Newport and Montreux models, both of which feature abalone inlay, maple back and sides and spruce top, Kent [...]
Scott Wise Ukulele FAQ Page 1 We have been stocking (and selling quite a few of) Scott Wise's ukes for four years now and they sell themselves in many ways. They look great and sound superb so uke buyers who really want the best can quickly tell that a Wise uke is the real deal...but [...]
