About Us

Guitarzilla

With over a decade of experience in used and vintage instrument retail, and as players ourselves, we know what guitar players want.

We set up Guitarzilla in 2018 to to get our hands on the kinds of guitars that we are crazy about.

We source premium quality Japanese instruments from Tokai, Greco, Ibanez, Fender Japan etc right through to to holy grail USA Gibson Custom Shops. Rest assured that every guitar that passes through our hands is awarded the same amount of love and attention.

We spend time getting to know each guitar before we offer it for sale. Each one is given a detailed appraisal on the work bench and then undergoes a thorough in-house clean, set up, service, repair and some playing time before it is carefully packed and shipped. Sometimes we get so attached to them we don’t want to let them go! Sometimes we don’t!

We take great pride in the fact our guitars are ready to play straight out of the box . We will even prepare a guitar in line with your personal requirements. Just let us know what you would like.

Of course, our personal collections include Strats and Les Pauls as much as anyone else’s, but our real passion lies in the weird and wonderful, often overlooked gems in the guitar world. There are some amazing guitars out there. Just have a look through our listings. These guitars are all players, not just show ponies.

The serious bit…

Our personal experience has told us that buying guitars off the internet can be fraught with problems. We aim to minimise that risk to you. Since we began, we have sold and shipped over a thousand guitars online, often abroad, and often to repeat customers. We are extremely proud to hold a genuine 5-star customer rating for sales on our website and Reverb Marketplace.

Remember, it’s never too late to buy the guitar of your dreams.

Several hundred customers have trusted us to help them do just that.
