I took delivery of my Yamaha 700II this week, and wanted to say how pleased I was with it. I also want to pass on my thanks for a totally professional service, a pleasure to deal with you, and I'm sure i'll be back in the future!

Guys - a huge thank you to all your staff, especially Lewis Docherty for outstanding customer service! I purchased an amp and had it shipped to Northern Ireland. I wasn't happy with it and emailed you guys to see about exchanging it. Lewis agreed an exchange - no questions asked - no hassle - and he also took the time to ask some questions and make sure he got me the amp that was right for me. That sort of after sales service is hard to come by these days and I am extremely grateful. I am now as happy as a pig in you know what with my Cornford 50 watt 2x12 and my TC Nova System. A match made in heaven!!!! Cheers guys, I'll be a customer for life!

This is not a query, but a 'thank you' to please pass onto Rob in the drum shop. His hard work, invaluable expertise, perseverance, attention to detail, not withstanding patience, did not go unnoticed today while I got my new kit sorted. He is a credit to your organisation and a pleasure to do business with.

I am writing to say I am extremely pleased with the service I have received from Andertons ! My JTM-1 head arrived in the US in less than a week from the dispatch date. I was also very pleased to see that in lieu of simply putting an address label on the Marshall box, it was instead surrounded by bubble wrap and in turn wrapped in black plastic, thus preserving the original appearance of the box, which I favor. The amp sounds great and worked flawlessly with the 120 - 230 step up transformer I purchased.

Just wanted to say Thankyou for the excellent service I have always received at andertons . I have spent a fair bit with you guys as have my drummer singer and bassist all who have come to realise andertons is without peer . I especially want to mention Ross on the guitar desk , a credit to andertons and the retail business in general . Just when you think the best music shop can't get any better it just does ! That's not to say the other staff rant amazing cos they all are friendly professional but Ross just went above and beyond . I've heard from friends that he's their goto guy for guitar stuff at andertons now I know why .

We have bought 2 Guitars from your Guildford Store and were very impressed with both the goods and the staff in the store, they are all very helpfull and knowledgeable and we would be quite happy to return to the store inthe very near future.

Yours and their co-operation is very much appreciated.We, (Trevor tompkins and myself) have purchased a lot of equipment from you and have always recieved good advice and great price and service.We will continue to call you our favorite music equipment shop!Once again, MANY THANKS!!!

Just a quick email to say thanks again for the fantastic service Andertons provide. Once again the order arrived the next day, and the staff had even substituted one special offer item for another at my special request - fantastic individual service! I also feel that the loyalty points are a brilliant idea, and hopefully really encourage repeat business for yourselves. You deserve every success.

Paul from Sheffield- Received 4th April 2012
 
 

Just wanted to compliment Paul in the guitar department in the Guildford store for his knowledge, assistance and patience in helping me eventually purchase a Martin OM1 (and being very understanding when, having initially bought the D1 and subsequently decided a few days later that I had made the wrong choice, I took it back to change it for the OM1). And also, while I am here, can I offer a general compliment to Karis and the rest of the staff I have spoken to in the store who are always very friendly and helpful and display none of the arrogance that I find in many other guitar shops.

Dave from Teddington- Received 5th March 2012
 
 

I visited the store yesterday to get a Yamaha THR 10 and a TC hall of fame reverb pedal. I may not be the best guitarist but I know a fair bit about customer service. I would just like to go on record to compliment you and your company on the great service I had from Alex and co on my visit. Ok for me to demo pedals and left to practise away uninterrupted at my own pace, yet your guys available for input as I needed it. Got good input into my options and had a great choice of product to try to get the right answer for me, rather than being sold what you wanted to sell me. Store is great and your guys are a credit to what they said is a family run business. Keep up the good work and I'll certainly be back.

Lawrence from Alton- Received 24th February 2012
 
 

Today I came into store looking to buy my second guitar. I didn't have loads to spend, but that made no difference to the quality of service I recieved. The staff were incredibly relaxed, and even gave me a free gig bag to fit my new Jackson when I purchased it. Truly outstanding service today, so thank you to all of the staff at Andertons for making it so easy to decide.

I felt I had to write to you to comment on Lewis. I have recently made a number of purchases from your shop and I have been served by Lewis on a number of occasions. I have to say that I have been extremely impressed by him. In a world where customers are quick to complain I felt that it was only right that I point out the excellent performance of this member of staff.

Lewis has impressed me with his enthusiasm for his job. He is extremely personable, and knowledgeable. I have always felt confident in his recommendations and I do not feel that I am being pressured into buying something. Most importantly Lewis takes an interest in the customers meaning that he does not push what you don't need. But perhaps the icing on the cake for me has been that with a two week gap in purchases and only having met me twice he remembered my name..... fantastic service!

I think special mention should also be made of Al Bowden who, as manager has been extremely impressive. When your shop is busy he keeps everything running with good humour and a smile on his face. He is never too busy to talk and he is always professional and polite.

I live in Twickenham and there are a number of music shops that would be more convenient for me but with the level of service that I receive at Andertons why would I go anywhere else?

I just wanted to confirm that I have no connection to these two chaps other than my interaction with them in your shop. I just felt I had to take the time to express my admiration of their efforts. I have recommended your shop before and I will do so again.

I feel that it is important that in life people get recognised for what they do therefore if possible could you please pass my thanks onto these two guys.

You have a really good team, in this day and age a rare thing indeed.

Gavin from Twickenham - Received 23th January 2012
 
 

My new fender stratocaster arrived safe and sound this morning - thank you. I was very impressed at how easy it was to order my guitar but best of all was the excellent finance deal received - super duper. I look forward to receiving my 'Free Strings' and 'Loyalty Points' shortly & I'll spread the word about the great deals at Andertons Music Store - well done once again.

Visited Andertons with an old friend yesterday for the first time. Came away with a 2nd hand Ibanez and a great little Yamaha THR 5 practice amp. Anyway first time I have been treated like a customer in a music shop in years. Staff all exceeded both our expectations and they went out of there way to be helpful, informative, and friendly. Best music store I have visited for a long time: service and selection first class. Will be back for more....

I have recently purchased a Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster from you, my first decent guitar after 15 years of playing. I would like to let you know that your correspondance about the product throughout was outstanding from start to finish, certainly helped put me at ease, especially as for the first time I was buying a product, an expensive product for me, that I hadn't actually tested. I had email correspondance with Matt C and Neil, both of whom were extremely helpful, and phone correspondance with who I regretably forgot his name, but all 3 of which are an exceptional credit to your company. My product arrived last Thursday, I am quite simply over the moon with what I have recieved, over the moon with the service provided by your company, and can safely say that I will happily recommend you to others! Thank you so much!

Just a quick line to say thank you. We traveled from Eastbourne to visit your store as you are our nearest stockist of Taylor guitars. We were not dissapointed and the service from your lovely staff members was fantastic. We enjoyed that we could pick a guitar off the wall and play for as long as we needed to make up our minds to purchase. Well worth the trip and we hope to see you all again soon, from one very happy new Taylor guitar owner THANK YOU Jayne x

I purchased a Roland LX-10F digital upright piano from you on Monday, which I received yesterday evening. I just wanted to say how please and impressed I have been by the service I received both from Paul who helped me out in store and the 2 guys who delivered the instrument. I will certainly be shopping with Andertons in the future and will not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family.

I have just ordered a Yamaha AC1R from yourselves from hundreds of miles away without playing it , all based on your excellent customer service. I called for some help and advice on my next Acoustic purchase and had the pleasure of dealing with Lewis (and briefly Alex) . Unlike other companies he didnt try and sell me what was in stock , he actually took the time to listen to my ramblings and give me some sound advice without trying to push a sale. Its amazing how difficult it is to describe a guitar sound down the phone lol, but from this excellent service you now have my money.

I recently purchased an ESP Ltd H351, an electric guitar cover and a boss NS-2 noise supressor from you and I wanted to drop you a line and thank you personally for the excellent service i have received. I run my own business and firmly believe that the test of a good business is not when everything goes right. Its how a business deals with things when they go wrong, which matters. My new guitar didn't arrive in an ideal condition (these things happen) and when I reported this to Andertons they took ownership of the issue and proposed several solutions all designed to keep me, the customer happy. They maintained contact with me through the process and the end result has delighted me. Its rare to find a company these days offering web prices AND a premium customer service experience. Andertons you guys tick both boxes. If you are searching for new kit online and want to buy your gear from musicians who care and deliver on both pricing and service stop searching! You have found the UK's no1 online music store.

I'm 64 years of age and have been a 'muso' since the age of 13. I have been fortunate inasmuch that I have travelled the world (literally) in that time and, without exception, in my opinion, Andertons is the ultimate musical purchasing experience.

Mike from Bracknell - Received 21st November 2011
 
 

Buying an expensive item online made me a little nervous, but you couldn't have made things easier. Communication was very good, and delivery well within expected time. I've had to contact you with one query since receiving my instrument and it was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Excellent service, thanks.

Andrew from Powys - Received 20th November 2011
 
 

All arrived safe and sound. 335 seems like new, both getting a run through on loud at the moment but thanks for a great and informative service, the monitors are perfect for the job. What could have been a hasstle, you've handled brilliantly.

I received the guitar today and it is absolutely gorgeous. I just wanted to drop you a line to say a big thank you to you and your colleagues for getting it despatched so quickly. I've bought a few guitars from Andertons and I've always had good service, but to get my order turned around on the same day, bearing in mind the time when I e-mailed you back, is just excellent. Many thanks again, it is greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to thank Anderton's & particularly Paul in the acoustic guitar dept for customer service way above the call of duty. Paul has shown incredible patience & understanding whilst I have been buying a couple of guitars recently. I am a working singer/guitarist but I also have medical/neurological conditions that can make guitar buying stressful for me and make me seem like a pain in the backside to the shop. Paul bent over backwards to ensure that I went away with a couple of amazing guitars and was honest and strong enough to tell me when he thought an instrument was not the right one for me. He did this all without making a fuss and without being distracted by my sometimes complex requirements and ultimately catered for my every musical need. I am happy to travel to Anderton's despite living closer to other good guitar shops. Anderton's is frankly the best.

Paul from Crawley - Received 10th November 2011
 
 

thanks for the cajon- used the ring and reserve service and the guildford store was so helpful and really cared about customer service. Will definitely recommend Andertons

I am writing to thank you for the extremely helpful and very cheerful service we have had from your drum department in resolving a problem with my sons' Alesis DM10. In conjunction with the distributors you managed to guide us through a very complex process of attempting a restore very swiftly and over a weekend. I am also pleased with the rapid and appropriate response to this problem. Overall your customer care has been outstanding, and stands in stark contrast with one of your competitors (based on the south coast) who took several weeks and a threat of legal action to address a fault with one of their products.

I Purchased an ESP EC-50 in black satin. The guy on the phone was really helpful and service was 10 out of 10. I ordered the guitar at 11.45am delivered the next day at 12.10pm. I'll be coming back for more items when i need them.

I have been meaning to write since I bought a new guitar & amp from you - now some months ago. I very much wanted to compliment ALL of the staff who helped me over the 3 separate visits, they were consistently helpful, enthusiastic, and knowledgable; they made choosing a guitar and amp a real pleasure. As this was my first electric guitar, I frankly needed quite a lot of guidance, and even though I was swapped between a number different staff throughout each visit, I never once felt this detracted from the service - (which I would not have thought possible)! Thanks again, and you come with my highest recommendation for service

Terry from Surbiton - Received 20th October 2011
 
 

Just want to say thanks for the excellent service on the Mackie 15" Thumps. Replaced my pair of Peavey KB-4s. What a relief to walk into a gig with a cab in each hand instead of hunting around for someone to help me drag the peaveys in one at a time. They sound crisper too, Bottom end is very punchy and full. I even have to pull back the LF Eq a bit at the mixer to keep out of the Bass players way. 400 watts a side gives me plenty of headroom and I've moved the cabs back into the backline in the same plane as the Bass Cab and Guitarists cab giving us the best on-stage max we've ever had which is great in small venues. Definately a move forward and at £600 for the Cabs and a small mixer its a great soloution for a gigging keyboard player. (Obviously no mixer needed if you gig on a single keyboard)

I am a big fan of yours. I always watch your YouTube videos. Plus I want to congratulate you guys for my first order, the HT-5. Everything was perfect. From Guildford to Bucharest in less than 5 days. Damn ... that's fast.

Andertons seem to be able to maintain that good old fashioned notion of customer care and it's very much appreciated, well done to all concerned with packing etc, I couldn't have asked for more. Many thanks to everyone for all their help re: this purchase. Simple ordering and tracking made it all run smoothly.

Just wanted to say I'm very happy with the service I received. I ordered a Blackstar HT-100 yesterday morning and got it earlier this afternoon. The next delivery is really good and the amp is AMAZING! I'm a massive metal head and I've found difficult to find any decent videos of the amp doing metal. I was borrowing a mates Bugera 6262 and was just going to buy one of them as I knew they could do heavy, but I'm glad I took the risk and went with the blackstar. I've been playing with it all day and managed to get such a clear but brutal tone out of it! Anyways cheers for the amazing amp and good service!

The products actually arrived yesterday which I was extremely pleased about. I have given the amp a quick road test and I am extremely pleased with it. Also the free headphones were of surprisingly high quality and have become invaluable for using the amp late in the evening. All in all I am extremely pleased with the quality of service I have recieved from your company and you will now be my top priority for any future music purchases.

Simon from Lincolnshire - Received 1st October 2011
 
 

Thanks very much in helping me fulfil my quest for a longed for guitar; an Ibanez Artcore AG96. True, not the most expensive guitar, but it is a bit special to me, sounds, looks and plays great. It was a special order that arrived quickly and there were no quibbles regarding part exchange. Neil and Tristan were helpful, knowledgeable and great to deal with. I got the feeling that not only was I dealing with professionals, but also folk who care and are enthusiasts. The Electro Harmonix Memory Man with Hazari I also bought works well with my Vox VT 40 + and gives that a whole range of interesting textures, and is a lot of fun provided you use clean settings! Excellent service, and a delight to visit your shop. Don't think I will bother with anyone else even if I do have to travel.

Do Not change anything. This is the second time I have used your "No Interest Finance" through Andertons, You have got the process mastered, it couldn't be easier. Thank-you for stress free buying on finance.

The quality of service at Andertons is truly exceptional. They work extremely hard, without any pressure whatsoever, to ensure that each customer receives the very best experience and will be delighted with their purchase. The long drive was more than worth the effort - they have the widest range of top-quality instruments and all their staff are passionate about ensuring customer satisfaction. There is no other music shop for me, now.

I would just like to say thank you for the great customer service you guys offered (Tristan in particular). I ordered some gear, had to change a delivery date, send some back and receive something else and you dealt with it as efficently as if I was in the shop! You state that you see no difference between your walk-in and online customer and you have really proved it. Top work and I'll certainly recommend and use you again!

Just wanted to say thanks for the quite simply ridiculously good service. Saturday just gone popped into a music shop in Croydon looking to buy a the Roland Cube 30 bass amp for my son. Told the cheapest online price was 229 (they previously quoted me 149). Next day I find you guys, placed the order and Tuesday it turns up. Free and fast delivery, great product.

I was looking for a small but good travelling acoustical guitar for my 18 year old son's birthday. I am not a guitarist but, after some research, had picked out and ordered a guitar on the website and they were nice enough to call me a day later to say that the only one they had left was the display model and they wanted to check that it was alright to send that one or if I wanted them to order a new one that would take a bit longer to get. I thought it was great that they checked with me first instead of just sending me the display model guitar and saying nothing. I probably wouldn't have noticed anyway but I thought it showed real honesty. In chatting with the salesperson, I asked some questions about different models and I ended up buying a completely different model that is much better for my son's needs. The sales person seemed really concerned that I get something that I would be happy with and was always keen to tell me pros and cons of different models including price differentials. I really trust Andertons - I will always turn to them for my guitar needs in the future.

Just wanted to say what a great time i had last night at the Doug Aldrich clinic. Fantastic to see someone like that up close and get to chat to them in such a casual event. Big thanks ot you, Marshall and of course a genuine and classy guy Doug. Hope you can do more events like this.

Just to thank you (Neil Freeman in particular) for your service when I ordered my Gibson Nighthawk from you. Neil was very up front about the fact the guitar had been on display and even went so far as to take some pictures of the small mark on it. Excellent service, very helpful staff and a pleasure to buy from you. Many thanks!

David from Spalding - Received 6th April 2011
 
 

Gear arrived yesterday as promised - the P5000 and BR15's work nicely together with the YS Processing switched on - they're a bit light on the bass without it. The Behringer is a lovely piece of kit for the money. The build quality feels a bit delicate but for that amount it's what I'd expect. Shure mics worked from the off. Very little setting up to do (once I'd worked out how to sync) and no bleeding of signals. Fantastic - massive improvement on what we've been used to.

So - thank you for your a) advice, b) quick turnaround and c) sheer cheerful professionalism!

Julian from Market Harborough - Received 6th April 2011
 
 

I was reluctant to buy a guitar over the internet - I really wanted to be able to sit down, play it and check it for tone and fret buzz before buying it, but I couldn't get the one I wanted (an Epiphone EJ200CE) from anywhere nearby. I took a chance and ordered it through this website.

The guitar arrived in mint condition. I really can't say how very pleased I am with it. Ordering it through Anderton's was very straight-forward and they delivered exactly what they promised. I think the blurb says something about treating the online customers exactly the same as the in-store ones - we they do. I couldn't have done better if I'd gone there and picked out the guitar myself.

If anyone is unsure about ordering a guitar online, I hope this helps settle your mind. Top marks.

I just wanted to commend the absolutely brilliant service I have encountered in placing and receiving my purchases, even when it involved changing a particular order to another model.

I have been in and around Music Stores all over the country in a time spanning 55 years - I have been coming to Andertons store since inception - around 30 years ? - and I have never failed to be impressed with the level of service, friendliness and professionalism from staff over that period. That says a lot for the Managers and Owners of this store who allowed the customer to come '1st ', by encouraging them to 'Trial and Test' the product - innovative thinking, along with connections to a Music school - all of which would generate ongoing business, which is why you are still a leading Music store ,today !

Just a little bit of feedback about my last purchase, a Sterling by MusicMan JP60 guitar. I placed the order on a Sunday night, got the confirmation email eventually on Monday morning after the first one was put on hold for confirmation. I got the product today (Tuesday) just before 10am. Absolutely delighted with the speed and quality of the service, and more than delighted with the guitar itself! You can be sure I will keep buying from you!

In a world where it is easy to complain about stuff, I just wanted to take the time to let you know that I visited your store yesterday and was given absolutely fantastic service. Without exception, your staff were polite, attentive, kind, knowledgeable with regards the products (and if there was an area which wasn't their expertise, they immediately found a another colleague to step in), interested in what they were doing and nothing was too much trouble.

In short, it was an absolute pleasure to visit the store and your staff make quite a team! Kind regards, Karen

I came to Anderton's on personal recommendation from a number of friends who had already received great service on their purchases

Everything about this purchase was perfect from the moment I placed the order to opening the box and setting up to play. Without realising it, I ordered an out of stock item and was contacted within 24 hours, at which point the mail order team let me know that they had in fact got the guitar I wanted in stock due to a delivery error from the manufacturer- a stroke of luck for both of us, the guitar I'd ordered was in fact available.

The personal touch from the team was greatly appreciated, with my guitar being sent out within 2 days of ordering - not bad for an out of stock item!

I've already recommended Anderton's to several friends who are now looking at purchasing. I really can't recommend them highly enough - from the personal service to the fantastic range of stock.

Just wanted to say that I dropped by the shop for my visit on Saturday & experienced the best shopping experience of my life. It was my first visit there & (sadly) I was there merely accompanying a friend who was in the market for a new electric guitar.

Whilst he tried the model he was interested in I wandered around my area of interest; the acoustic guitars. After checking with one of your excellent staff members I picked up 8 or 9 different guitars playing them either sat there or taking the option of one of your rooms.

None of your staff were pushing for a sale which was so refreshing. They felt more like musicians stuck in a shop rather than salesmen/women. Out of the 3 or 4 staff members I spoke with one thing was apparent they were all enthusisatic about what the topic of conversation was.

Due to this laid back atmosphere I know for absolute certain where I will be buying my next guitar! Can't wait to return.

Just a little thanks. I came to your store today to try a couple of amps and was welcomed and accomodated like royalty, even though you were very busy. I live in Brighton and have travelled to buy from you in the past, and certainly will again. The best customer service in the industry. If you get any b-stock Blackstar artisans, give me a heads up. Cheers

Ordered an Ibanez AF125 Amberburst late on a Sunday and Andertons needed to check with distributor whether it was available. Rang me back on Monday saying it was available so I placed the order. Got text and email confirming order. Got another text and email when being despatched - along with tracking details for courier. Guitar arrived as sheduled. Price was 80 cheaper than anywhere else. Great guitar. great service. Great experience all round. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Andertons to anyone - a nice change from some other less helpful and reputable shops.

I just wanted to leave a little note of thanks for the delivery of my new Jazzmaster - absolutely excellent service, with a lucky find in the store room and a much appreciated personal touch from the mail order team. Everything about this purchase was perfect. I can't recommend you guys highly enough. Thanks to everyone at Andertons!

Hi. 2 months ago I ordered this guitar from one of your rivals. They took a hundred pounds deposit and did not provide me with ANYTHING - not even an explanation, despite my attempts to contact them. After sixty days and promises that I would receive the guitar 'soon', still nothing. I cancelled the order and had to get my bank to argue for my deposit back.

I ordered from another of your rivals who again took my deposit before telling me I would have an indefinite wait (despite the website saying the guitar was in stock). I again cancelled my order.

4 days ago, including the weekend, I ordered the guitar from yourselves. I was told immediately that I could have a display model in perfect condition with a fee gig bag thrown in if I wanted it. I was then kept informed of every stage of the process. The guitar arrived first thing this morning - exactly as i was told - and is superb!

I will be using your service again, very soon!

Many thanks. The keyboard stand arrived safely today (Thur).

Thank you for making the purchase of my Roland RD700 NX and stand such a no-hassle deal, and for the advice/demo while we were in the shop looking at keyboards. It was well worth driving all the way from Aylesbury to Guildford to deal with such professional experts as Andertons. Highly recommended.

I gotta say I'm impressed at you guys, fast, relatively easy and the cheapest ive ever seen that alesis go for, I'll be building a new hybrid kit from the ground up next year, you can thoroughly expect me to come to you first.

Many thanks for the excellent communication over this and making the return of one amp and the purchase of an alternative one so stress free and easy. I am really pleased with the new amp as it is much more suitable for my main practice.

I am also extremely pleased that I decided to buy from Andertons. The quality of the customer service, both by phone and also by email has been second to none. As internet prices get ever more fiercely competitive I would still be happy to pay a little more to Andertons with the knowledge that the customer service and care is so good. My only regret is that I live too far away to shop in person but I feel that I have been treated with similar consideration as any customer who is physically in the shop. I will shop with you again with confidence.

Thanks for all of your help, support and patience.

I just wanted to state my appreciation for the excellent service provided to me by Andertons. I now understand that the business is owned by you and your family. As such, and in addition to my personal thanks to yourself for the guitar advice, I would like to cite Will as a member of staff who has particularly gone out of his way to be helpful, and to offer all advice that he can to me. I would be grateful if you could recognise this excellent service in whatever way you see fit.

I came in last Saturday to get some kit. To cut a long story short Carl Moore was extremely patient and helpful considering how long I was taking and how indecisive I was being. Hats off to the bloke!

There were also two other staff members that I nabbed about my amplifier decision that were helpful too. A tall attractive girl and a chap with black hair in a side parting.

I ended up getting a Blackstar Soloist HT 60. Sounds amazing!! Thanks again for the great customer service.

Thanks for this. I have to say that the service we received in the shop from Brad this week was top draw. He was informative, professional, understanding and made me feel like I didn't need to shop anywhere else. He gave us time and space. Perfect.

If the piano arrives before noon tomorrow as planned and paid for then you have a customer for life.
