guitarguitar is the UK’s biggest retailer of guitars, and the key UK partner of internationally renowned brands such as Gibson, Fender, Taylor and Martin. Founded in Scotland in 2004, the company has expanded to 6 stunning retail stores across the UK and an industry-leading online presence, listed in the UK’s top 100 online retailers.
In 2022 we announced our move to Employee Ownership and opened a new dedicated fulfilment centre and HQ, to consolidate and strengthen our position in the UK market and as part of our commitment to delivering a truly best-in-class experience to our customers.
Who we are
We strive to provide the best possible experiences for our customers (both in-store and online) and we take a great deal of satisfaction from being a part of the musical journeys our customers embark upon. At the heart of our family is a group of people who go the extra mile for each other and our customers. We are not a faceless warehouse. We are an enthusiastic community who are always evolving, revising, learning and moving forward to provide our customers with the best possible multi-channel retail experience. Our recent transition into Employee Ownership (EOT) means we put our employees “centre stage” and are the country’s first (and only) musical instrument retailer to do so.
A key part of that community is our integrated technology team who utilise modern technologies to drive the business forward whilst advancing the platforms that make it all possible. Our technology stack is always evolving and we deploy new features regularly using our continuous integration systems. We champion an agile approach, developing in small batches to iteratively improve our platforms whilst driving through our roadmap of initiatives. We utilise automated testing to improve velocity whilst also often developing together in pairs to share knowledge between developers….ultimately…everyone contributes and you could say, we are pretty techy to the core.
