Welcome to The Strat Shack, your new online home for used guitars and basses.

We specialise in second hand Fender guitars and basses. Squire, Made in Japan, Made in Mexico, American Standard and Custom shop but will also carry a limited selection of other brands.

We will also be carrying an extensive selection of accessories from strings and leads to replacement upgrade parts such as pickups, pickguards and electronic components.

What sets The Strat Shack apart from every other internet guitar dealer is our commitment to providing the very best service to you the guitar player, with communication through every stage of your purchase ensuring that you receive your chosen instrument set up to your specific requirements with no nasty surprises on arrival.

Ever bought a guitar online only to find the instrument was in need of a complete set-up and overhaul?

Our quality control will ensure that no instrument will be advertised for sale unless we are satisfied it is playing and sounding at its very best.

We are also happy to tailor the set-up of each guitar we sell to the buyer’s own preference. At the most basic level this could just involve a change of strings from one brand to another or to go up or down a gauge of strings. If a set-up to a non standard tuning is required again we are very happy to accommodate your requests. For example a slide guitar specialist will have a very different set-up requirement compared to a Slash loving shredder!

We can also add custom upgrades to your new instrument,  pickguards, pickups, wiring mods, tuners. Upgrades tailored to your requirement.

Prior to purchase please email us with your specific set-up needs and we can confirm what additional costs might be due.
