Strung Out Guitars

Great store. The team are very friendly and always helpful. I got the neck of a guitar repaired here. The job was done brilliantly and quickly for a fair price. They also set the guitar up and it played better than ever. That was a while ago. Recently just purchased a les paul jr double cut away and once again the service was brilliant.
Dont go in looking for 1000’s of guitars on the wall. Its a small mostly second hand + vintage store, but thats why i love it. Makes a guitar/​amp you find even better!

This was the second stop on our Ukelele buying excursion. We’d been told about Strung out Guitars by another Unilocaler, who’d said that it was two woman who owned it, and they’d got a lot of flack for being women and having the cheek to set up a guitar shop. The nerve! Anyway, he said it was a very cool place.
They didn’t have the size of Uke I was looking for — I was after Concert rather than Soprano. They did have some rather cute sopranos in, including an exclusive wee red tartan one — aww, and the chap was really pleasant and helpful and said if I wanted something in particular they could order it in. But given that I don’t have a clue about Ukeleles and was really hoping to get one that day, he suggested I pop along to another shop along the road.
Anyway, that’s the extent of my experience of Strung Out, but it seemed like a cool and friendly place.

Took my old Fender acoustic (by no means top of the range but I’ve had it over 20 years) in to get some fretwork done. Told the girl the first three frets would need replaced as they were very worn. She told me they would be able to do them with a fretstone and reprofile them without replacing them, which I found very surprising considering the wear on them. She asked me what gauge strings I would like on it after the work was done, I said .010, she suggested heavier, I said no I’ve used 10s for years, she said heavier would be better. I had almost to argue with her to get my choice fitted. was told repair would take 14 days, after about a week got a call saying that they would have to replace the three frets, just like I said they would. To be fair, they only charged me for replacing two. Called me back a week later to say guitar was ready and that the nut had been too low and that she had shimmed it up a bit as well as the fret replacement and stoning and reprofiling of the frets. Picked up the guitar a week later, the girl wasn’t in the shop, it was a guy I’d never seen who seemed a tad ‘off-​handish’. Tried the guitar and it seemed okay. A few weeks later the E and B strings are buzzing, not as bad before but after £135 still annoying, guitar doesn’t seem to tune up the same, hard to put my finger on it but its just not right. Between not listening to the customer properly, the un asked for nut shimming which I think was because they couldn’t get rid of the buzzing and the remaining buzzing, I am less that pleased with this business. I will not be returning to this shop although I appreciate that they have lots of completely satisfied customers.

Strung Out Guitars will give you the best customer service in Glasgow hands down. Time after time they prove themselves to be great for advice and just being a good, all round, friendly bunch of folk.
It’s ashame that the store isn’t a little bigger because the choice of instruments to buy isn’t outstanding but you can sometimes pick up a good second hand bargain.
For its guitar repair shop alone it gets top marks.

Tucked away on King’s Court, Strung Out Guitars is a brilliant little guitar shop, selling guitars and accessories, as well as repairing and restoring them for their customers.
The staff in here are really clued up, as I found recently when accompanying my boyfriend to get his guitar fixed here. The girl behind the counter certainly knew her stuff about the ins and outs of each guitar, as displayed by their jargon filled chat that meant little to me. The service here is great, and as it’s a small independent little place, there’s a more personal feel to the service you receive. A nice little shop that comes highly recommended by my guitar geek of a boyfriend.

Great shop located on Kings Court. I bought a fantastic rare amp here a few years ago so I drop in periodically to see what interesting things they have hanging up.
They do a great set up, a few of my musician friends reckon they’re the best in Glasgow.

A great wee shop selling pre loved guitars, amps and related accessories. And it has a very professional repair service, where the in house workshop can sort out the most complex of guitar problems. I have used them a few times and they have always been very hlpful, knowledgeable and reasonably priced.
They also have an awesome client list — like a who’s who of cool indie music — and I think this speaks for itself.
