You can buy from us in 3 ways:
Online - benefit from our super low prices but unlike other online stores you also have the opportunity of buying extra services. For example, most online stores ship you a guitar straight as it came from the manufacturer - which means you'll need to pay to get it set up before it is really useable. With Guitarworks we can set up your guitar precisely to your specification before it is sent to you.
Telephone - ring in during normal store opening hours and we'll be pleased to offer advice and assistance and take your order directly over the telephone..
In Store - visit our spacious store in the heart of Reading. Try out the guitars in our private demo rooms. All guitars come pre-set up and you get a free set up within a year on purchase.

Opening Hours
10.00am- 6pm Mon-Fri
