GUITAR HALL BOUTIQUE

We are a real shop. Our staff are real people. Actually, we've been a real shop for little over a decade. And since then we like to think our values haven't changed much.

We at the Guitar Hall Boutique are very conscious of the varying nature of guitars' tone. Even between two of the same model, the guitars can sound worlds apart.

At Guitar Hall, we believe in connecting musicians with the gear they need to express themselves. We also believe in industry-leading services and value.

State-Of-The-Art Showrooms full to the brim with the best musical instruments handpicked by professional musicians. Carrying an experience of more than a decade, we are apt at understanding the musical needs of the musicians and keep our stock decked up to meet the requirement. Being professional musicians ourselves, help in discerning the quality easily and helps us in precise quality checks.
Beautiful guitars, incredible effects, amazing amps and awesome keyboards.Guaranteed lowest prices as compared to any shops in India.

 Feel free to come down to our boutique, give our guitars  a play - or simply email us if there's anything at all you'd like to know about the exact guitar we're displaying. We're here to help, and more  often than not we can be bothered. Our professional staff is always glad to help you find what you're looking for. We encourage customers to try before they buy - so you're welcome to try out our equipment, play our instruments, and ask plenty of questions. We're committed to customer education as well, so be sure to stop in to catch one of our regular in-store training sessions conducted by the renowned Guitar Hall Training faculty.

At Guitar Hall, we don't just deal in music; we live it and breathe it. We are musicians ourselves, and we use the brands you find at the Guitar Hall Store every day in our own bands, practice rooms, and recording studios. You won't get any high-pressure sales tactics from us - but you will get honest, impartial advice which only professional musicians living this life already can give. We're not brand-driven- we are performance-driven, so we won't try to sell you on one brand over another if it isn't the right option for you. Our goal is your total satisfaction. If you're not satisfied, neither are we.

Guitar Hall Boutique History

Guitar Hall – The Guitar Boutique was set up  with the core intention of providing the best guitars possible to our learning students. The idea of setting up a Guitar Hall Boutique was not some brilliant expansion move. But that was born by dire need of the hour because hundreds of our students through the years were handed over substandard and faulty guitars from the very few music shops which are present at Mumbai.Not only did we find those guitars demotivating our students but that also created a wrong illusion in the students minds that playing guitars is the most toughest job on earth.Yes,we agree playing a badly made guitar is the toughest job on earth.But thats really not the case with a properly set up instrument.In fact it's the most pleasurable activity one can do in their lives with a proper instrument.

    Guitars in India, unlike abroad, are actually manufactured in small scale workplaces in the eastern and north-eastern part of our country which are collectively delivered at the factories who give them their final polishes, touches and their labels. Needless to think there are many flaws in the instruments. Out of 100 guitars only 30-35 are up to playing standards.And since the past 5 years 'made in China' guitars have flooded the Indian market.About the Chinese guitars the least said the better!The guitars are extremely amazing looking and sounds great initially but like everything Chinese they fizzle out in a few months.Reason - Plywood can never take the place of Tropically grown Rosewood,Mahogany and Maple wood.

  Music shop owners have no choice but to sell them to beginners who have no clue about what a guitar is all about knowing very well that they won’t question them like pros regarding the many technical aspects of the guitar.

But the problems were ours alone. It's we at Guitar Hall who had to play those substandard guitars eventually which was the last thing we wanted after practing guitars since years!Hence Guitar Hall Boutique was born to provide immaculate quality guitars at reasonable rates to our students.

We at Guitar Hall personally visit the guitar factories once every 6 months and handpick each and every guitar that you see at our shelves, through long hours of careful inspection.So be rest assured what you get at Guitar Hall is of the best quality,the best specifications and the best tone money can buy!And need we say,prices that are cheaper than any music shop in India! All guitars come with a never heard of 3 years Guitar Hall warranty! Thats the confidence we have on our guitars.

Also Guitar Hall shelves has the guitars which are especially manufactured for us from reputed international and Indian brands,custom made according to our specifications, so certain models out here are the models which you wont find anywhere else in India.

To learn more about our guitar models you are welcome to drop down to our boutique.We would only be pleased to explain you the various technical nuances each guitar at our shelves has to offer.We assure you a lifetime of musical growth and playing progress.

Most importantly, only select a guitar you know is fully inspected and adjusted for easy playability, accuracy in tuning, intonation and tone production.

Many important issues rest on the quality and playability of your instrument. Always get the facts. Ask what has been done to make the instrument easy to play. There is no greater impedance to progress, developing proper technique and the enjoyment of learning to play than a poorly constructed instrument or one that is not correctly set up.

Choose the kind of guitar that interests you the most. This way you will be more motivated to play.

Many people mistakenly purchase an inexpensive acoustic guitar from the regular shops(shopkeepers are just too happy to pass off their faulty guitars to beginners) for starting out when they really need a proper guitar. Often they are afraid they or their child will not stick with it. This is almost like buying a guarantee for failure. Guitar Hall stamps that guarantee! A cheaply made acoustic guitar will certainly lead you to quit within a few weeks of starting out because it is physically just too hard to play and coupled with the fact its not what you really wanted in the first place.

Select the right size guitar.

 A guitar that is too large will make it difficult for you to make the proper reach with both the right and left hands. Having your arm as high as your shoulder to reach over the guitar can become uncomfortable and at worst painful. Over reaching for the first fret puts your fingers at a great technical disadvantage because their muscles are already stretched out making it difficult to properly move your fingers on the fingerboard.

Select a guitar that does not sell at the bottom of the price barrel.

This may seem a little difficult without giving you numbers but the old adage is almost always true, “You get what you pay for”. Sometimes you even get less. As a general rule, cheaply made guitars are not really playable or adjustable. They are not worth your time or money.

Avoid guitars and packages that promise to be a tremendous value for an amazingly low price.

The old saying,“ If it sounds to good to be true, it probable is”, is a good guide. Do not fall into the so-called major "Brand Name" trap.

Most major brand name companies compete with minor brand name companies for the entry and intermediate level player. Smaller brand name companies rely less on media advertising and more on dealer support and knowledge. These companies may even specialize in the entry and intermediate entry levels where as the major brands specialty is higher priced professional instruments. Obviously the cost of media advertising is included in the overall cost of the instrument. You may end up paying more for the brand name while the quality is the same or paying a competitive price for an instrument of less quality. A brand name guitar does not guarantee it to be a better guitar. As a side note, many major brand guitar makers provide free guitars to recording artist to use in concert, which is a very effective marketing tool. The fans that play guitar or want to begin playing the guitar associate the name brand with their favorite performers, not realizing that the expensive instruments they use share very little (except the name) with the entry level models.

Select a guitar with a finish and color you enjoy.

Having a guitar that not only plays and sounds well but also appeals to you visually can greatly contribute to your motivation to play and practice.

Be sure to include an electronic tuner when you select your guitar.

A tuner is about as important as having picks and strings. Keeping your guitar tuned to standard pitch is important for several reasons. First, guitars are manufactured and set-up to withstand the tension of standard pitch, which produces the best musical tone. Second, guitars are initially set-up and adjusted for standard pitch and third, standard pitch is the musical standard for most instruments. If your guitar is tuned too high above standard pitch the excessive tension can damage your instrument and at the very least break your strings.

Only select a guitar you know is fully inspected and adjusted.

• Choose the kind of guitar that interests you the most.
• Select the appropriate size guitar
• Avoid the cheapest guitars available
• Avoid guitar and guitar packages at amazingly low prices.
• Do not rely on big brand names alone.(Big brand guitars are even manufactured at small time workshops in India, which are passed off as made in Korea,China,Indonesia,etc)
• Select a guitar with a finish/color you enjoy
