For equipment you simply cannot beat Scayles.  Even if you buy an instrument elsewhere I'd still recommend picking up your equipment from here.  What they offer is a wide range of high quality equipment and with a bit of help from the staff you should soon be able to find the right gear for you.\n\nTheir guitar range covers the whole spectrum fairly well.  As far as I'm concerned its entry level guitars are perhaps a tad over priced and its only the truly high end where things turn in your favour.  If you are going to buy the entry level guitars from here check out the price online first just to be sure you are getting a good deal.\n\nAcross their other instruments they seem to specialise in Ukuleles and if that's what you are after this might be the place to come.  I don't have a great amount of familiarity with their brands of brass and woodwind, but the quality seems decent so its just a case of trying them out and checking if they are right for you.\n\nPersonally if I was buying equipment I'd come straight here - for anything else I might check out what's on offer elsewhere.
