Reviews for Chris Bryant's Musical Instruments

Via the FAITH guitar website, I identified two guitar shops on or near the Charing Cross road who were dealerships. I quickly dismissed Macaris (see separate review) but was very impressed by Bryants.

They had an excellent range of both electric and acoustic instruments and they also stocked a lot of Faith guitars (and also LAG guitars which was another make that I was considering at the time). Their displays were clean and all instruments were easily accessible and in tune (not so at Macaris !!!). There was no hassling and I was left to try as many guitars as I wanted. An assistant was always nearby in case I had any queries.

London is well served by guitar shops, but in my opinion, Bryants is up there with the best. When I visited then. it wasn't plagued by the brigade intent on flashy fiery twiddling which displays speed but damn all else. Instead, all the customers there seemed to have real musicality and that surely reflects well on their opinions of the shop and the people who work there. I overheard several conversations between assistants and would-be customers who were either interested in expensive or beginner-level instruments and they all received the same sort of attention and assistance.

This is definitely a shop to visit if you're looking for good guitars and helpful assistance during the process of choosing or buying.
