Where to start? Been a customer virtually since the GigGear opened. To be honest, at first I found it a bit more ‘characterless superstore’ than ‘local music shop’, but in a relatively short time scale it evolved into a friendly place for musicians, (and drummers!) staffed by musicians. Always a good selection of gear and always competitively priced. With the one exception of a Squier Bullet Strat, where they didn’t even try to compete with Argos, they have always been willing to sort out deal that suited me. Never had any work done in their workshop but Barry is a legend and I have had a couple of guitars set up by him when he was at his previous shop. Friends I’ve recommended GigGear to have, without exception, been satisfied and returned. Even though it’s my local music shop, I would travel farther afield if I wasn’t satisfied with the products, prices and service. I haven’t!
