Andertons are a uk based independent music shop. That’s pretty rare these days so I’m happy to support them. Also they tick all the boxes for pricing, stock, choice and speed of service. The last thin... See more

Great Chapman guitar.

I recently bought a Chapman DPT guitar from Andertons. It is a really nice instrument to play, nice and light, about 7 1/2 lbs and well made and set up to play nicely. It was delivered within a day and well packaged. It is very similar to a tele with clear twangy single coil pick ups. Also great colour and an epic deal meant it was at a great price.

Whilst there was a glitch

Whilst there was a glitch in the provision of the Strymon power source, it was politely and cooperatively dealt with and resolved to my satisfaction. And you can't really go wrong with a Strymon.

Used item was in fantastic condition

Used item was in fantastic condition, good price and quick delivery. However have to drop a star due to being charged about £11 to deliver despite stating free delivery. It stated this was due to a remote location, Hoghlands and Islands which we are definitely not. Even if this small item was posted by Royal Mail it would not have been so expensive.

Excellent service

I've purchased a number of items from Anderton's now and the service has been excellent. When there have been issues (rare) they have responded to my queries and resolved them swiftly.

I'll be back for more gear!
