Victoria

Good to meet with you today and a pleasure doing business with you. Museum quality was the phrase I was looking for by the way! Extremely happy with the 78 Precision bass. Your pre-sales service and knowledge was spot on too and I've been enjoying the bass since I got home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you or put more business your way if ever I get the chance. You have some amazing basses for sale.
Tim

The bass is incredible! It is in perfect condition and sounds great. I am wondering. Perfect packaging and perfect adjusted! Many thanks!
Pablo (Spain)

Today, before my work I have received the guitar, beautiful Strat 40th anniversary edition. I was admired to see 15 years old guitar in such perfect condition (small chip in rear bottom side of the neck is not so visible after some decoration). Thanks to all, great service, great legendary guitar. Nice to deal with you. In future I know the right place where I can buy good guitar for the best price!
Sasha (Latvia)

Beckie

I received the guitar this afternoon and I'm very pleased with it... I can see us becoming close friends over the coming weeks! Thanks for the great service, fair price and great communication.
Pete

I'd been looking for a vintage Precision to gig and record with for some time - then I saw the '71 P bass on the Classic and Cool website and it pretty much ticked all the boxes. The prospect of spending a lot of money on a bass was a bit daunting to say the least, but the testimonials page gave me some reassurance, which is one of the reasons I would like to add my experience. As others have said, Mark is a very friendly and fair guy. He was completely understanding that it was a big decision for me and was very quick to reply to any queries I had. He also had a couple of similarly aged Precisions for me to try out to compare and was more than happy to take the bass apart for me so I could inspect serial numbers and the like for myself. I got the impression it was almost as important for him as it was for me that I was happy with the bass. As for the guitar itself, what can I say? I find it hard to put down - and even when I do it's a struggle not to keep looking at it! It sounds great, plays beautifully and looks so cool. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark to anyone.
Ollie

Just want to say again that I'm so pleased with the guitar, and could not thank you more for such a great instrument and service. I'm still quite taken aback at just how mint the condition of the instrument is, it really is a quality piece of kit, there is quite a sentimental aspect to this guitar too, a nice vintage vibe! I hope to buy from you again in the near future, I'm aiming towards getting a 70s strat, like the one you just added.
Tom

I am extremely happy to say that I met Mark and have now purchased two of the nicest guitars I have ever seen. My bass is outstanding and my son's recently purchased guitar is just sheer quality. I would recommend Mark to anybody I know, and in fact have already done so. Great guy to do business with and generous too. Thanks again Mark, very happy customer.
Nigel

Finally got the chance to plug it in! The Strat's really nice and I'm very happy with it. Thanks for an excellent guitar and excellent service.
Steve

I had been looking for a Fender Jazz and Strat for years and when I saw both of them on the Classic and Cool Guitars site I was rapt. Several days of emails and calls to Mark helped allay any fears I had about the condition of the guitars - and about spending such a large sum of money on some bits of wood! The guitars arrived within days professionally boxed and whenever I had any question however small he was straight back to me with an email or call. They even arrived during the middle of the UK’s worst snow for 20 years! I would strongly recommend Mark as a reputable dealer and collector of guitars – he always has a great selection of guitars. If only I knew how he found them all! ;)
Tim Johnson

The bass arrived today, I just checked it and it sounds awesome! Thank you very much for the smooth transaction. I'll be back to you from time to time depending on my budget... Best regards
Ingo (Germany)

I opened the box last night and am delighted with what was inside. The bass is completely safe and sound (thank you for packing it so well) and I am most impressed. A very satisfactory transaction - it has been a pleasure doing business with you!
Roger

The 1998 Collectors Edition Telecaster to me is the perfect guitar - it sounds great, plays wonderfully and looks fantastic. I contacted Mark about this guitar several times and he helped me out with all the info I needed and responded to my emails very quickly, and the guitar was true to his description 100%. All in all Mark provides a great service and is more than helpful and it was a pleasure to do a great deal. I would like to deal with Mark again in the future and I really recommend Classic and Cool Guitars to everyone. Thank you for a great guitar.
Luke

Just want to give a big thank you for the new bass. Good communication and advice, also plenty of information (and photos) supplied. Bass arrived in quick time and (as described) excellent quality, sounding and playing superb, much better than what I imagined. I’ve gigged with it already and am now looking forward to taking it in the studio.
Steven

The T-40 is already at home. It sounds fantastic and have lots of different tones (I'm still playing with the pickups). I have to say that the bass is in a great condition and arrived at home very well packed too. So, thanks very much. It was a pleasure to get this bass from you. I expect to use it for the next recordings with my bands.
Carlos, Spain

A quick word of thanks for yesterday. It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you very much also for making the purchase process so comfortable & relaxed. Having got it home, I am delighted with the bass, it looks great and as you know plays very well. It even sound goods through my son's tiny Marshall guitar practice amp, although I'll probably follow your example and get a Hartke A 100 just like yours. Thanks again
Simon

Thanks for an excellent transaction. The price was agreed to our mutual satisfaction, the guitar was delivered as described (and consistent with our telephone conversations), and the delivery took place on the date agreed. I am delighted with my purchase and the professional way in which the transaction was conducted. Thanks Mark.
Steve

I came across Classic and Cool Guitars by complete chance. After looking at the bass guitars i decided to phone Mark. After a very long discussion I decided to buy a Peavey T40 bass. I have been a player/collector for 35 years and I have never bought an instrument sight unseen, but being reassured by Mark, we did the deal. The instrument was dispatched by overnight courier. On arrival I was very impressed with the delivery (10am the next day) The packaging was absolutely BOMB PROOF and after unpacking the bass from its own case, I was very happy with the condition of the instrument itself. I plugged it in and everything worked as it should.
I am a very very fussy person with regard to the condition of instruments that I collect. I am happy with my purchase and I will deal with Classic and Cool Guitars in the future. I have already spread the word to my friends who also collect guitars and basses.
Steve Hodgkinson

Bought a Precision Bass the other day from Mark at C&CG.
Being a musician himself, and I expect, knowing in advance all the questions that a potential buyer would ask, Mark actually gigged with the bass to check it out before offering it for sale on the web site.
The bass was delivered as described, and from the discussions I had prior to the sale, I don't honestly think that C&CG would actually offer any instrument for sale that Mark was not completely satisfied with.
I was also given a fair price for a Fender Jap. strat. following an instantaneous valuation which was adhered to.
I would recommend C&CG

I purchased a 1979 Fender Precision bass guitar from Classic and Cool Guitars. Firstly, I have seen many testimonials before and wonder if they are genuine or not or has the site owner made them up? Well, this one is genuine if you check out my web site address www.takenoteband.co.uk you will find many links to Classic and Cool Guitars that I have put on of my own free will as I was so pleased with the genuine, honest, honorable and reliable service I was given. Not being a mega rich bloke and not being prepared to travel to Mark's location I was, initially, a bit dubious about sending a cheque for just over £1000 to someone I did not know for a product I had not seen apart from photos but, after a few conversations with the guy I felt comfortable doing this and am so glad I did! The guitar I got was in better condition than his description and photos implied. It sounds and plays better than I thought possible. It is amazing.
So credit where credit is due I have no hesitation in recommending Classic and Cool Guitars to anyone who will listen. Next day delivery, friendly and trustworthy. Personally I would like to meet Mark and shake his hand. If you wish to contact me you can via my website and I hereby allow Mark to give prospective purchasers my mobile number if they want me to confirm any of the above. Thanks Mark at Classic and Cool Guitars for my purchase and I know you will enjoy yours.
Pete Saunders

I have received the guitar as you promised. I could hardly bear to put it down to reply to you. For once I have bought something which has exceeded my expectations. It is absolutely fantastic and is so versatile, and to top it all, it's in mint condition.
Do I sound pleased? You bet I am. Thank you so much.

Pete

Just a few lines to say how absolutely delighted I am with the T40 bass. I have been looking for a good T40 for many months, I must say that I never expected to get such an excellent example of a 25 year old guitar! I congratulate you on your quality of service, quick response to all communications, and first class packing / delivery arrangements.
I look forward to dealing with you again, and would not hesitate to recommend Classic and Cool Guitars to all.
Paul

Thanks, the item arrived safely and my son is over the moon - he hasn't put it down - fingers are blistered and so are my ear drums - do you do ear muffs too? He is thrilled and the item is in lovely condition - it will be well loved! Thanks for all the support and excellent communication.
