Wooohooo, legends... Thank you so much for all the nice words... (Can't believe it only cost me a couple of beers for all that love hahaha). Thank you again guys. Chat soon. Best DP

We’ll welcome you with open arms! John will give you the tour and show you his vintage guitar collection

Andertons pioneered the format, and Danish Pete is a fantastic player, but these days I prefer the straightforward nature of the Peach videos. Plus Jack is the best guitar demonstrator next to Greg Koch for me.

Hey guys! Dene from Peach here, big fan of the channel, thanks for taking the time to talk about the store. Would be great to show you around sometime and geek out!

Hey guys! Wow, thanks for such a great review of the store, I’m really pleased that you enjoy our online content as well! Hope to get across the pond and visit your store in the future, too. And thank you for the shout out to my channel! 🙏

Let's be honest Andertons fans literally wait for the daily video.. Everyday...

I've been watching the Andertons channel for many years but just recently, this channel popped up and I'm already addicted to it. I'm really liking you guys, the content is brilliant!

I have visited and bought lots of gear from both Anderson’s and Peach. I have always enjoyed my shopping experience, felt welcomed and received excellent advice. A testament to them both is that I still have the vast majority of equipment that I have bought from them over the years. They both deserve all the success they have achieved.

Andertons is the reason I play guitar. Watching their videos keeps me motivated in some weird way. Casino is my new obsession though and you are only 8 hours away.

GAK is located in Brighton which is one of the coolest places to spend a weekend in the UK. Don't miss a trip there if you come over, great store too

There is another amazing guitar shop in the UK called Guitar Village in a town called Farnham. They don’t have much of a social media presence at all, but they are one of the best guitar shops I know, and I live 30 mins from Andertons! Guitar Village is an amazing place with one of the best guitar selections I’ve ever seen. I’ve bought several guitars from them rather than Andertons. I’ve ended up buying amps and pedals from Andertons. Nothing against Andertons, they’re amazing, but buying from GV always seems to be a bit more personal.

After buying several guitars and effects from Andertons website I visited the shop two years ago. It was the best experience I ever had in a music store. The staff was super nice and helpful and really made me feel comfortable to ask questions and try instruments. To this day I am still browsing their website at least once a week and watching most of their KZfaq content!

Also check out Guitar Village near London. It's in a beautiful medieval house!

Have to say, this video has made me think what a brilliant place Casino Guitars is. I’m in the UK and love Peach and Andertons so clicked this when the YT algorithm pushed it....and glad I did. Great couple of guys here, talking generously about other businesses and being self-deprecating too (something we Brits love). Top blokes - if I’m ever over there, love to visit your place.

I'm from the UK and I watch both Andertons and Peach guitar presentations. I feel like both are very good at demonstrating new guitars! And both are interesting and entertaining! I couldn't choose one over the other! I'm going to have to say both win! 👍😁👍🎸🎸🎸

Baxter is the love child of Brad Pitt and Tim Burton! I've bought from Andertons but not from Peach. Would love to buy a Xotic guitar from Peach since they're the only UK dealer but they're also way over in the opposite corner of the country from me unfortunately. And yes - Jack is an awesome player - I've often stuck on a playlist of him playing all Custom Shop's for example - to get a flavour of which one sounds best. Jack's my go-to - didn't know he had his own channel though - thanks!

Baxter, your store is one of, if not the most beautiful guitar store I have ever seen, so I think you guys are in the same league as Andertons and Peach. And I will be back in town visiting junior and my new grandson at the end of August (depending on how we are doing nationally with Covid) so we will definitely drop in! Hoping to see you guys in a month!

I watch your channel while folding clothes! I’ve bought from both shops but i’m watching this video while strumming on a silver sky I bought from peach 2 weeks ago. The unboxing videos swung it for me!

I’ve been to Andertons a couple of times. A great shop.

This video just popped up. I recently purchased my first guitar from peach. I went all out and bought a Martin D28. A bit mad for my first guitar but it was for my 50th! The staff were fantastic! Not pushy at all and nothing was any bother. Made my girlfriend and I a coffee/tea and made us feel very comfortable. And the store is stunning!! I saw it in videos and it’s even more impressive in real life and Steve smell of the wood hits you, love it and can’t wait to go back!

I’ve ordered from Andertons, GAK and Peach Guitars but Peach Guitars was the only one that included a setup on the guitar. Jack’s playing is totally underrated. Love Andertons KZfaq channel, cannot be beat but PG very factual minus the comedy.

They're both great! They make you feel like home, I haven't been but from what I read from people going there and from what I can tell from watching 99% of their videos, I know it would be a great experience to visit them. I was born and raised in Macedonia, never had a local shop.. now I live and study in Innsbruck Austria where there's a local shop nearby. The thing is that cause of watching Andertons, I thought all family owned local shops are friendly and nice..So I went in, all excited and was greated with a bored staredown from the owner, no great no nothing, all cold, walked around for a couple of minutes, didn't feel comfortable to grab a guitar and try it.. anyways, I grabbed a pack of strings, paid, again no salutation whatsoever and I left, fast forward to a year and a half after learning quite a bit of german, I decided to contact the shop and ask them in a very polite and professional manner if they had a job opening by any chance since my goal is to always be around a guitar, and all I got from them was a Histerically Laughing emoji as a reaction on my message... After that, I started playing as much as I can and decided to open up a KZfaq Channel, build up an amazing community where everyone feels like they belong! Basically they single handedly destroyed the image I had about local family owned shops.. sorry for the rant, stay safe everybody!

Love me some Casino Guitars ramblings. Andertons and Peach are great content on KZfaq, but so are you. Keep it up.

Great video, thanks guys 👍🏻 I have purchased guitars from both, in person at Peach ...yes it is an awesome shop and online from Andertons...great service. I am yet to venture out to Guildford to check out their shop...may be when the world returns to normal. When it comes to KZfaq though....Andertons is the clear winner for me 😁

I'm an American living in London, about five minutes from Denmark St. LOVE Andertons! Smaller shop then I expected it to be, always crowded, but still GREAT customer service every time I've gone. As opposed to Guitar Center, where you could spend an eternity waiting for someone to help you, and then trying to sell you something you don't want when they don't have the thing you went in there for.

I live about an hour away from Andertons and go there regularly - it's a great shop and they make great videos. However I watch all your videos and think your store looks fantastic too. Will definitely come visit next time I'm in North Carolina.

I've shopped at Peach several times. It's a great shop, really big for UK standards, with an incredible selection of high end electric and acoustic guitars. The staff are really friendly. I've not been to Andertons as it's a bit of a trek, and ultimately Peach will have what I want and they are only a 30 minute drive for me. Now, if I was a tourist? I'd visit Peach. Colchester is a very historic town, being an old Roman town. It has a Castle, Roman Wall, ruins of an Abbey (blame Henry VIII for that) and some great pubs and restaurants. Also, if you're a petrol head, there's a very impressive Ferrari/Porsche/Bentley dealership round the corner from the store. I love the Andertons videos and also the Peach ones. What impresses me about Jack, is he never plays the same thing twice, that's not easy to do. Other KZfaqrs (who will remain nameless) have some stock licks that you know are going to be played at some point in every video :)

Danish Pete is a superb player - one of my favorites on the KZfaqs.

Hey guys, you ought to do a in depth virtual tour of y'all's complete shop

I’ve never been to either but would love to! Near me I have ATB guitars and World Guitars, both awesome places. I really like Phil’s Vintage and Modern guitars too. Just found your channel today and really digging your content!

I have a friend in the UK that buys from Andertons regularly. On a couple trips over we made the trek from Heathrow to Andertons. I’ve left with branded t-shirts, guitar picks, and a coffee mug that I actually think belonged to someone on the staff. Speaking of the staff, they were fantastic; my friend picked up bass pedals and they were super helpful. On one trip, they even setup a bass that I brought him, for free, while we shopped. I need to make it out to see you guys, but its just too hot right now

Andertons is my local guitar shop. I have bought lots of guitars, basses, amps & kit off them over the years. I can't believe how big they have become now but I also think their customer service is way better now than it was in the 90s.

I definitely would go to Peach guitars because I love their unboxing videos. I've seen them all, several times, and I can't stop drooling each time.

This coming from a UK resident. When it comes to You Tube content Andertons are the clear giant. I used to live within an hour of their store and back in the late seventies and eighties bought a few amps and recording gear from them, and would often take a pilgrimage on a Saturday to the Guildford shop (they had more then one back then) just to look at the gear. It was by far the best store around and if I didn't live 300 miles away I would still be going there. I do buy online from them and the service is slick and efficient.

I've frittered away my kids inheritance money on many a guitar and amp in Andertons over the years and I can highly recommend the place. I've not been to Peach yet but I've heard lots of great things about it from mates of mine who have been there. It's worth mentioning Guitar Guitar as well who have a number of huge shops around the county and their store in Epsom in Surrey...less than an hour away from Andertons is supposed to be the largest guitar shop in Europe. Your videos are always very entertaining to watch by the way. And while we're all in lock down they certainly help to keep me from going completely nuts. Keep um coming guys. Cheers.

I have bought all my guitars from Peach - Never been to the store, but the website is great and the prices are good. Delivery has been perfect and everything has been top notch! Go the underdog.

Andertons is my local shop. Went there in March and Jared James walked in and I think I missed Noel Gallagher by a day! Great practice areas and range but super busy at weekends. Bought my last guitar from Peach and the service was impeccable. Both great shops - Peach store looks amazing!

Really enjoyable video guys! Have you guys had an opportunity to visit Norman's Rare Guitars in LA and Rudy's Music in New York? Would love to know your thoughts on those shops and their videos. I had the pleasure to visit both over the last couple of years, and they are both phenomenal shops. Maybe an idea for another video. Being a native North Carolinian (living in Florida), I can't wait to come check out your beautiful shop in Southern Pines as soon as we can all travel again. Best wishes to you guys, and be safe!

I've been to Andertons a couple of times. Both times it was packed but the staff are great and really eager for you to pick up guitars and try them. Their warehouse isn't in the same building, So if you are looking for something that's on their website but not in the store you have to wait about an hour for them to bring it over to you. But like you said, each time you turn a corner you see a new room with more music equipment. I've never heard of Peaches before but the photos look great so I might take a drive up sometime.

I've been to Anderton's but had correspondence via email to peach guitars. Both are SUPER helpful and more importantly to me friendly. I watch anderton's on KZfaq most evenings just to listen to the cap and Pete play. I purchased Amps and guitars from anderton's last year and a LOT of other retailers could learn from their sales tactics and just being genuinely nice people! For that reason anderton's get my vote!

Went to Anderton's back in pre-pandemic November and it was lovely. Lee and Danish Pete insisted I have a couple of pints of the newly released fall IPA series from the public house down the street. Played a bunch of guitars and they let me borrow an authentic '59 Gold Top knowing full well I was going to bring it back to the States. Great guys...they'll never see their Les Paul again.

Greetings from the UK. I visited Andertons last year and a nice guy called Ben let me try 4 custom shop Telecasters through a Friedman amp for about 1.5 hours (admittedly it was a quiet Tuesday) with no pressure. In the end I didn’t buy anything but Ben was very nice about it. I’ve ordered stuff online from them and delivery has always been good with plenty of tracking information etc. Also been to Peach and again they are very good. They always seem happy to let you try whatever I want . If you are in Colchester you can visit the 2000 year old town wall built by the Romans and the 1000 year old castle built by the Normans. They’ve got a lot of history!

"England is not known for its guitar players" David Gilmour Jimmy Page Eric Clapton Ritchie Blackmore Pete Townsend Tony Iommi Peter Green Jeff Beck Brian May Slash Keith Richards Guthrie Govan Steve Jones Andy Powell Ted Turner Richard Thompson John Martyn etc etc etc Yea.. It's completely barren over here ;)

Which store's artists would be more willing to sign your guitar purchase? The Danish Pete signature guitar or the Jack Griffiths signature guitar?

I love the Anderton’s channel and Peach is my closest guitar store so I spread the love. I buy small consumable items and things like pedals from Anderton’s but for big purchases like guitars I’ll go to Peach. Have been in the store a few times and the staff are great especially with my little girl. First time I went there she was just under two and running about touching guitars (under close supervision from me) and they actively encouraged her to be interested in the guitars. I bought a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Traditional that day. Will definitely buy my next guitar from Peach. I need a Telecaster.

Similar to Casino, I just discovered Peach recently but I’m a long-time fan of Andertons. Different feel but great content on all three. Since I grew up in NC, I’m rooting for the Casino guys. 😀 Baxter, a mashup of Brad Pitt and Vincent Schiavelli, maybe? Maybe? Either way, keep the great content coming. Wish you guys the best of success from Texas.

We also have PMT music chain, who swallowed up a load of independent shops in the UK to create a behemoth. Also, the name is quite apt as I get a bit short tempered every time I go near one.

I have bought a considerable amount of outboard etc gear online from Andertons over the years and their service has always been superb. However, when buying a guitar I have used Peaches as they set up well and they have a PLEK machine! John their PLEK guy is great to talk too.

I have had the privilege of shopping at both stores... although I haven't been to Andertons since I lived in Guildford in 2004. Peach Guitars is my local guitar shop and if I were to compare the actual shops, Peach wins by miles. Although Andertons, as a largely online shop, has often more choice in terms of gear and variety of guitars available to order on their website. Andertons is usually more expensive and Peach guitars tend to have a much larger range of high end and boutique guitar brands in store. They're both great in my experience and I will continue to buy from both!

Love watching from both those shops. I'm here in Canada 🇨🇦 and would rather come down there. To meet you guys and buy a guitar or 2, you know how GAS works. Great videos guys love watching keep it up.

Both video channels are fantastic, for different reasons. As for which one I would visit if I was ever over there, I'd have to do some research about which shop had more in the way of unique items. A huge selection is great, but for me I'd rather spend my time looking at stuff I dont see every day, particularly if its unique high end stuff. I have no idea which one that would be, though :)

Having been to neither, I've bought 2 great semi-acoustics from Andertons online. However Peach have many different, less well known boutique guitar manufacturers. Whilst Andertons cover nearly all production line guitars, Peach have an amazing selection of custom shop guitars, especially from Fender & Gibson. They both have amazing KZfaq channels also. However, Britain does have a large (actually enormous) guitar chain called GuitarGuitar, you really should check them out! Another excellent one for Fender guitars is Project Music, who are based in Exeter. So if you get bored looking at guitars you can always wander round a beautiful cathedral city or take a short drive out to Dartmoor! Finally there's a great little guitar shop in Surrey called Guitar Village, they have all the usual production guitars but also some amazing, high-end custom shop guitars as well. I'm sure there are plenty more, but out of these which one would I go to? All of them!

I’ve been going to Anderton’s since I was a teenager. As a store it isn’t massive and none of the people from the videos work the floor (although the Captain did brush past me once whilst I was browsing). However the selection is decent and the people who work there are very friendly and approachable, which is a big deal as most other music shops in the Surrey/Hampshire area tend be stuck up boutique places with pushy salespeople. Great place overall and I’ve never had a bad purchase from there.

Big fan of Andertons here! Have spent a crazy amount of money in there over the years. The customer service is second to none - the staff actually cater to your needs rather than product push. There's been quite a few occasions where I've been advised not to buy something, as it wasn't the right fit for me. I've also returned one or two things, and they've always been happy to do so with no complaints. Denmark Street - which is the big mecca for guitar shops in central London has really gone down hill over the past few years, and it's no wonder they're struggling to compete with the likes of Andertons, GAK, Guitar Guitar, etc. There's normally a really uncomfortable atmosphere, and salespeople push you into buying gear - I get it, they want to make a profit, but you can't help being put off! There's also an issue with price in the Denmark Street stores. You almost always have to negotiate on price to make sure you're not being ripped off. However with Andertons the price is normally the best price online (or near enough).

I live 20 minutes drive from Peach guitars and have bought from them at their old location, never visited the new place. I've just pre-ordered my first guitar from Andertons, which should arrive in November.

I’ve been to both of these shops and I love them both. Peach has the BIGGEST store I’ve ever been in and with the best S type guitars in the country however in Andertons you can literally pick up ANY guitar straight from the rack and plug it in at a booth without even having to ask staff. They are so chilled there is unreal. I drive 2 hours just to go to Andertons to buy gear. Shout out to GAK my local store but the staff there aren’t the greatest and last time I went in there they kept all the custom shop gear locked away in a separate room which was a shame.

I got a Hansen T style on order from Andertons. Great customer service so far. Baxter if you are coming to Ireland next year dont come in 'summer'.. it's been raining here for 6 weeks straight!.

Both are "BRILLIANT" shops and I have bought extensively from both ... but if like me you have to drive 1.5 hours to Andertons or 2.5 Hours to Peach (I'm based in Oxfordshire) the first thing you want to do is have easy parking and Andertons is hopeless on the parking issue and often the area gets patrolled by traffic wardens, there are car parks in Guildford but it's a tidy return walk if you purchase something on the weighty or bulky side. Andertons offers the bigger musical instrument picture but if you want to buy that lesser known boutique pedal or amp then (for me) it's going to be Peach but if on the other-hand you want a hard disk recording system or a keyboard then Andertons are the choice. I recently bought a Two Rock combo from Peach (Dean ... you were terrific, thank you for your time my friend) I even met Jack who is such a great guy (what a player too) and I've also met Danish Pete who is just the same bubbly person off camera as what we see with the Captain when on camera (Pete if you are reading this and for your recognition of the conversation we had ... I wanted to chop your hands off and swap then for mine, what a fantastic guy ... ohhh and what a player too!) - So there's my brief take on it and isn't it nice for a change that the UK has something good about it ... ha ha ... take care & keep playing guys.

Andertons is smaller in store than its KZfaq /internet sales footprint would suggest. Nice stock, but small. Not anything like the online inventory, although if you were local you could whistle it up from their warehouse I guess. The online guys had no presence in the store when I visited from overseas. Service was friendly, but their policy on credit cards literally vetoed my (expensive) purchase. I ended up cancelling the online purchase they required and went local upon returning home. No such problem when I visited the guitar precinct in Ochanomizu in Tokyo. If you want an onsite amazing range you should look into that; 10+ shops on one block, multiple stories, everything you can imagine.

Great video guys. We’d like ie to shop Peach as well. However, we try to buy local which we can’t seem to do, we tried. Ending up having to buy from Sweetwater and stayed with them. Selection and especially customer service is second to none.

I live in the UK, and have bought quite a lot of guitars/accessories etc from Andertons since the early 70s when I was a student in Guildford, which happens to be their home 😊

My 2 favorite Guitar shops in the UK are ¨Guitar Guitar¨ and PMT. Both hace fantastic selection and customer service.

Met Rabea at NAMM and the hair is as epic as his playing! Cheers.

Bad Pitt crossed with Beetlejuice comes to mind... too funny!! My only chuckle today, thanks guys 👍

Live both stores. They also kind of focus on different ends of the market. You not going to find a Suhr and a Two Rock at Andertons.. both awesome channels

We do have a couple of big chain guitar places. PMT is pretty big and Dawson's is national with tons of shops, but they're a bit crap. I've not bought anything from Peach guitars, but I definitely would! There's something I like about the company. I've bought things from Anderton's but I've never been to the shop, but if I ever find myself in Guildford I'll certainly drop in.

I'm in Charlotte, can't wait for this COVID to be over so I can visit Casino Guitars

Denmark Street used to be the Mecca of guitars in London, but redevelopment coupled with bad customer support (all too busy noodling) with a lot of shops with no visible pricing and dusty shops has killed the area. The larger shops outside central London have now taken over. I use GuitarGuitar in Epsom which is about an hour away, but has lots of left handed guitars and very helpful staff.

I’ve been to both of them many times (because I live in England and I’m obsessed with guitars! 😝). In summary: - the Peach shop is massively more impressive (it’s in an out of town industrial unit location, which may sound sterile, but they’ve built it out inside beautifully and it has so much space and so much stock, etc.). Nothing against Anderton’s, it’s also a great physical shop but it’s grown in situ, is more space limited and just doesn’t have the room or space to display stock (hence why they have a large off-location warehouse nearby) and Peach have just taken the guitar shop concept to a different level in the UK. For those of you who have been to Chicago Music Exchange whilst the location and layout are different at Peach there are many similarities, and CME is by far the best music store I’ve been to in the States (sorry Casino guys! 😉). A couple of the UK music store chains, GuitarGuitar and Professional Music Technology (think of these as the UK equivalents of Guitar Center but a lot better than your typical GC store) have shops as large or larger than Peach but they’re not as well laid out or as good for demoing instruments; - if you’re in the market for high end guitars and gear I’d recommend Peach. They typically seem to have bigger stocks of Custom Shop Gibson, Custom Shop Fender, PRS, Knaggs, Suhr, Collings, Nik Huber, etc. than Anderton’s. I’d say this is in general (meaning in comparison to what Anderton’s have in stock both at the store and the warehouse - items which can be brought to the store for you within an hour max though if you do want to try them) but it’s certainly the case that Peach hold much more high end stock at their store location than Anderton’s does at their store location; - Anderton’s have typically better selections in stock of mid and especially lower price range instruments. Here I’m even talking about US production Fenders like American Pro, American Performer and the lower end of Gibson USA, where Anderton’s typically has you better covered as far as selection is concerned; - I’d also say that Anderton’s has a wider range of effects pedals in stock than Peach. They have a really impressive and consistently well stocked main effects pedal display case (better than anything I’ve seen in any guitar store, including the display at CME) and a couple of secondary display cases too; - overall I’d say the breadth and range of stock, especially across all price ranges, and by brand, is greater at Anderton’s; - both stores have really helpful and knowledgeable staff. I would say that I’ve got to meet in store and have a long chat with the owner of Peach but I’ve never met the Captain!! Booooo!! 😛 However, Lee is a much bigger KZfaq personality than John so I can understand him keeping a generally lower profile in his store than John does in order to avoid getting mobbed and crazy demands for selfies! 😝; and - regarding the channels I’d say that Anderton’s has the better presenters. They seem more natural in front of the cameras by this stage and they’re funnier and more entertaining (probably as a result of that additional comfort). As far as players are concerned I’d say Jack is every bit up there with Danish Pete... his technique, range of styles and taste and feel are excellent. What I would say is that as far as demos are concerned neither channel would probably be my first choice to really hear what a piece of gear sounds like. This is particularly true for effects where I’d put That Pedal Show, Andy Demos (or Andy on Reverb), or Pedal Zone streets ahead of either Anderton’s or Peach in the way they demo features and available sounds. In fact, for me when the Captain demos effects pedals it always seems to degenerate into random knob-twiddling with no concept of what he’s trying to achieve, he never leaves the effect on any one setting long enough to get a true idea of what it sounds like, and he often seems to me to be insufficiently gemmed-up on the features of the pedal he’s trying to demo (I wouldn’t say this is the case when he demos guitars and amps and maybe it’s his own preference for minimal pedals and guitar straight into an amp subconsciously coming across in his attitude to pedal demos, which is a bit weird given my comment about the size of Anderton’s effects pedal inventory).

I’m from the U.K. 🇬🇧 Andertons is amazing with their selection of gear and customer service is phenomenal but going to Peach Guitars is an experience, helpful and friendly staff, great selection of used and new (bought my Gretsch streamliner G2622 there) and it just looks awesome! Both great but Peach wins it for me! Also you look like Brad Pitt mixed with Mark Ruffalo 😂 Big Love!

ill watch every video from you from now on. hahaha

Both shops are great and I’ve bought gear from both, peach is local to me and I have to say the guys there are always nice and helpful and just happy to help

I've been to both many times. I'm lucky to be friends with Pete and he is genuinely the nicest guy ever and such a fun dude to hang out with. Andertons videos are so entertaining and a joy to watch. That said, the peach store is insane. It's just huge and it's like being a kid in a candy store (sweet shop for us Brits). Peach has a bigger range and stock more boutique brands like two rock. Although they have the main hall they also have 4 or 5 acoustic rooms and then a separate area full of custom shops and masterbuilts. Jack is an amazingly versatile player for Peach but the videos can be a bit dry. Also Peach can be quite expensive. I recommend Coda Music- they have a great selection of masterbuilt strats so go check them out too.

I’ve bought a whole bunch of guitars from John at Peach over the years and I can say you won’t find a nicer guy in the industry, and yes, he is a great guitarist too

You can't take it away from Andertons that they are the most watched and known Guitar store channel - barely a week goes by without them having a must watch video on some new piece of gear! I've shopped at both - Ordered a Left handed Martin from Andertons and a Custom shop Telecaster from Peach! Both great stores - Getting the Fender Custom shop from Peach was really easy - not so from other stores! Plus when it arrived I got to see that on one of their "unboxing" shows - before I even knew it was ready! I did not get to the store for pickup though because of illness - so I can't comment on the store! Andertons is a great store to visit - I do buy pedals etc. there - plus I've bought a couple of Amps from them and always have Superb service and help! -The Videos are great of course - but they have also had super evening shows by all sorts of people - Ariel Posen, Greg Koch and Joey Landreth being three that I really enjoyed (Keep it up Captain!) However being Left handed I haven't found them as useful for Guitars from stock! I mention this to the Captain every time I see him, but they still seem to think of Lefties as some sort of lowly citizen who might get over it! If I was to buy a Guitar, I think Peach would have the edge - as they do a ton of really great Left handed Gibson and Fender Custom shop stuff and really well documented on their site! However for buying Left Handed Guitars in the UK I would say the best store (and it's a chain)is 'Guitar Guitar' - Check THEM out guys! They don't have anything like the same KZfaq presence - but they have a stunning collection of left handed guitars (Especially in the Epsom Store - not too far from Andertons!) and I've been there too many times and picked up the managers favourite guitar in the store each time.

Can you guys share that one guitar, that you currently own, that you can’t live without? That would be a good video since you guys work a guitar shop.

Both are awesome!

Andertons is great and amazing customer service too, I exchanged a rather large and heavy keyboard there last year, which had a fault, no issues. Amazing range of guitars. Got my Les Paul Tradish from there. Extremely sweet, midnight blue. I think Brad Pitt mixed with Demi Moore from the 90’s, am I right?

I go to Denmark Street and Charing Cross Road in London, particular shout out for Macaris. I haven’t been to Andertons, but I’ve been to Peach once, liked it and bought a very nice PRS Zach Myers SE.

Alright - here's my two cents as I live in England and I have been to Andertons four/five times and Peach Guitars twice. I've met both the owners. If anyone cares I'll talk about the content they put out and the shopping experience. I'll try to keep it short. (Its turned into an essay - sorry) Andertons - I love the majority of the content they put out, they go the extra mile with the giveaways they do like for the NHS during lockdown and the backing tracks that Pete puts out. Obviously the KZfaq videos are fantastic, and Pete has to be given huge credit for the videos. Must have really helped Andertons grow even more popular over the last few years. I've met Lee when I visited the shop and had a chat with him, and he gave me more time of day than I thought he would. I do feel he is honest with the products they review, which must be a really tough balance. He's a super nice guy. The shop is great, with a really good range of guitars in store. Fender custom shop and Gibson range is great. I felt like whilst I was in there I managed to play everything I wanted to. The staff are good, not massively attentive which is either a good or bad thing depending on your perspective, but they definitely dont hover over you and it's just a really chilled vibe, you can just grab any custom shop guitar and play it if you want to and they don't mind. Peach guitars - first time I arrived here John (the owners dad) gave me a tour all round the shop, showed me where they filmed, showed me where they packaged and send out all the guitars and then John appeared. Again really nice guy, I doubt you'll find anyone more knowledgeable on guitars in the UK than him (maybe Lee ;) ). They both showed me and let me hold his at the time his new Stevie Ray Vaughan Custom Shop guitar. I really appreciate that customer service and you wouldn't get that at andertons (maybe if I was famous) Peach guitars is a boutique guitar shop, so they have a ridiculous range of amazing guitars. Theres almost too much awesome stuff so you really need to know in advance what specifically it is that you're looking for or you'll waste time in store. The staff are nice and polite, they do come and check up on you, but they do have a lot of expensive gear so understandble. It's not as chilled out as andertons, again that's not a criticism just an observation. The KZfaq content from Peach guitars is so good. If you are a guitar geek you'll love all the content they put out as the unboxing videos are great as they get some of the nicest gear consistently. The demos are no nonsense heres what the guitar sounds like. I don't think any store puts anywhere near the amounts of videos that peach does in terms of showing you what ever guitar sounds like. And on top of that you have one of the most ridiculously talented demonstrators on KZfaq showing off the gear in Jack. In all the thousands of videos he barely ever plays the same thing. Such a sick player. So to sum up... Andertons - Awesome shop, I would say more mainstream. KZfaq content for a more casual audience guitar audience. Peach guitars - much more boutique. Guitar geeks wet dream. Have everything you could want. I support both and buy from both :) Finally last thought. If any business owners are reading this - why are there no boutique guitars shops in the North of England? Everytime I go to either of these stores I have to drive 4 hours just to visit the shop. A guitar shop in the North would make such a killing. I would open one up if I had money 😂

Andertons is a great store, lovely staff and nice demo rooms. Never been to Peach (wrong side of London if you live in the West). Best store in UK by far is Guitar Village in Farnham. Unbelievably beautiful store

Jack is an amazing player. And if I could choose it would be Peach Guitars I would go to. They have some sweet custom guitars and awesome amps. It really seems they have some amazing specialty stuff there. That said, I would be happy to visit either shop.

You look kinda Brad Pitt mixed with Bob Dylan. Love your channel !

I have been to, and bought guitars from, both Anderson’s and Peach. Both are excellent shops with great staff. I think Peach serves the left handed player better than Andertons, as Peach has more left handed guitars actually in stock than Andertons does. As others have pointed out, the UK does have a couple of music store chains - namely Guitar Guitar and PMT. Guitar Guitar (UK) is much more lefty friendly than Guitar Centre (USA). Other smaller UK stores to check out are Guitar Village (only a few miles from Andertons), and Coda Music. On a European level, Thomann is a massive store in Germany, and they also have a great range of left handed guitars actually in stock.

Never knew of Peach until now, considering they are only 30 mins away from me that seems strange. Been to Anderton's a few times and they are nearly 2 hours away, but well worth the trip. Anderton's in-store staff are amazing, and will do all they can to help you. For example on my first visit I wanted a twin humbucker guitar, and there in the used bit was a LP gold top. Tried this out and didn't like the action and the amount of fret buzz. It needed sorting out before I was willing to part with £1000 on it. They took it away to a tech who adjusted things 3 times for me, but alas my mind just wouldn't let me buy it and I eventually settled on a PRS SE 245. Still regret not getting that LP. I was in the store for about 5 hours just trying stuff, asking advice, and they were attentive and super helpful. OK I ended up spending nearly £2000 that day, adding a Martin X-series, Katana 50w and pedals, leads etc. but I loved that day. Even saw Danish Pete for a few seconds!

There is also Guitarguitar, PMT, GAK, Absolute music, Richtone and many others.

Peach had more boutique stuff that I would be interested in. They have a pretty killer selection of brands if you can afford them.

No question I would be going to Peach. Jack is a true world class player, and they specialize in the types of gear I'm interested in. Love the Captain though and would love to meet him.

Love danish pete but damn jack is an amazing player ... really versatile player 👍🏽👍🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

I bought from Andertons, GAK, Coda and GuitarGuitar in the UK. But EU prices are determined by Thomann in Germany.

Been to both. Peach is nice and easy to park at, online service is brilliant from both. Peach has more of a wow factor when you walk in the door, Andertons carries more stock. There's no reason to only go to one. Fly to LHR > hire car > Andertons > drive to Peach. Fly London Stansted to Munich and visit Thomann for the ultimate treat (plan minimum 2 days). Plug in, Rock Out

The showcase guitar case is a cool idea.

i really enjoy both channels but if i was able to visit one it would have to be peach guitars im a lefty and the seem to have the better selection from what Ive seen on their websites but both stores and channels r amazing.

I like the "Sound Like..." and Product Review videos that Andertons provides. Now, I am curious about Peach Guitars and videos.

I buy from both stores and recommend both but Peach have provided the BEST customer service of any purchase (cars, guitars, you name it!) of any organisation I’ve dealt with.

The guitar shop you really want to visit in London is Charlie Chandlers Guitar Experience in Hampton Wick. Very small, only sells used guitars, Chalie is like the godfather of guitar repairs. They PLEK, they have great knowledge, old guitars are just more interesting than all the new stuff too. Just a cool shop.

I'd like to go over to the UK and buy some guitars at Peach and Anderton's but I really want to get up there to North Cackalacky and hang out with yous guys and return home with one I'm them fancy Custom Shop Strats.

Anderton's now has a partnership with Chicago Music Exchange for Fender FSRs and Gibson limited editions. And Brad Pitt can only dream of being Baxter-esque.

Combination of Brad Pitt, Robert Smith, and Andrew Marlin. Love your channel and plan to make it down to visit from Charlottesville, VA once things calm down

Ya and Andertons sound quality is great to get an accurate idea of what somthing may actually sound like. So do Casino videos as well.
