"I recently purchased a second-hand 1969 Les Paul Deluxe to Standard conversion from Fat Bottom Guitars, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. The buying process was incredibly smooth, with clear communication throughout and no pressure at any stage. From my initial enquiry to collecting the guitar weeks later, everything was handled professionally and efficiently, giving me complete confidence in the purchase. Their showroom is easy to find and well worth the visit. The selection of instruments on display is genuinely impressive, with a beautiful range of vintage and high-end guitars that any enthusiast would enjoy browsing. It's clear that great care has been taken in curating the stock, and the quality of the instruments speaks for itself."

"I am in the process of slimming down my collection of guitars (...yes, that old story). After making contact with Ben, I decided to take three guitars for FBG to sell on commission for me. When they looked at the guitars they offered to buy my 710 CE Taylor straight away and offered me a fair price for it. I agreed to go ahead and the process has been straightforward. I would also add that Matt and his colleagues in the shop have been a pleasure to deal with."

"This is the second time I have sold a guitar to the folks at Fat Bottom Guitars and it was the same smooth, professional service I received the first time. From first contact to them sending out all the packing materials to post the guitar, Brilliant. I will certainly be using them again in the near future. A big thank you to Ben and the Team for all their help."

"I had a Gibson LP I wanted to sell. I made an enquiry and Ben got back to me quickly, easy questions and a few photos later, an offer to buy which I thought fair. Guitar collection arranged for the next day, all went smoothly, good friendly comms. Cash in my bank account with the time stated. Very smooth and easy sale."
