Excellent pickup at cost - with hard case! My sister loves it. Thanks Rico...I'll be back 🙏🏼

A quality instrument from head to toe.

Great to deal with. Delivery next day. Extensive range.

GIG Guitars made the whole process so easy. Rico kept me updated with great communication, delivery was fast, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Couldn’t be happier with the service.

Great guitar by Tanglewood! I missed out on the original release and I’m so glad they reissued the 20th Anniversary. Just had to get one and it’s awesome!!

GIG Guitars were wonderful to deal with. The staff were friendly, answered all my questions, and made buying so simple. Great service and I’ll happily shop here again.

This guitar looks beautiful and has a rich, full sound. The size is perfect for a woman, it’s very easy to play, and the quality is exceptional. I love everything about it.

A beautiful guitar which came well packaged with speedy delivery, excellent customer service and communication from Rico, would absolutely buy from this business again.

Great customer service. Great shop. Rico is the man

Great little amp. Awesome for practice at home. Probably even do some small gigs lol

Shopping with GIG Guitars is easy and fast. Rico has an abundant supply of knowledge and generously shares it in a friendly manner.

The team at GIG Guitars were fantastic in helping us choose the right instrument for our child. They took the time to understand our needs and recommended the cello that offered the best balance of quality, playability, and value for money. Their knowledge and service made the whole process easy and stress‑free. Delivery was prompt, and we feel confident knowing we’ve purchased from a store that truly cares about its customers. Highly recommended.

"We purchased the Vivo 3/4 Student Cello for our 15‑year‑old and could not be happier. The quality of the instrument is excellent for a student model – solid build, great tone, and very playable. Our child has found it comfortable to hold and easy to produce a clear sound, which makes practice far more enjoyable. The included case is sturdy and practical, giving us peace of mind for transport and storage. A great value package for a young cellist."

Fantastic service from start to finish! My order was processed quickly, shipped promptly, and arrived in perfect condition. The team at GIG Guitars was responsive, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s great to deal with a store that genuinely cares about its customers.

On top of that, I’m thrilled to support an Australian business that promotes locally made instruments. I’ll definitely be shopping with GIG Guitars again — highly recommended!
