Why Buy A Guitar From Scan
It doesn’t matter what the value of the guitar, if you buy it from us we take extra steps to ensure you are completely satisfied with your instrument. Each guitar goes through a 22 step professional guitar set up process to make sure your new instrument sounds as the manufacturer intended it to play.
This means that your guitar may take an extra day to deliver, just so we can get these checks done. You’ll receive email updates once your guitar is ready for despatch.
We hope you feel it’s worth the extra time and patience we spend on your instrument.

The Guitar Technicians
From beginner to player to megastar, a well set up guitar just makes it all so much easier. The Guitar is a physical instrument. You have to ‘make’ the notes with your hands rather than just push a key on a keyboard, so anything that makes that job easier is very welcome.
Our FREE 22 point set up is there to ensure you have the best possible start with your instrument, allowing you to focus on what you want to play, rather than struggling to play an instrument that is actively making the job harder.
