Guitars4You Is Closing Down
Sad but true, but over the next few months I will be closing down the shop – After 42 years of involvement within the guitar retail industry, it is time for me to call it a day, with regards to the day to day business of running a shop – There are a number of reasons that have triggered this news, but most of all, the retail environment has changed so much over the years, that it is fair to say that I’ve had my day – I would like to thank all customers for their help and support over the years – For the many who have become more than just a customer, I would like to thank you for your friendship, with all the talk and chatter that goes with it, so please keep in touch
Closing Down Deals:- Please click here to view a selection of new and used guitars that have now been re-priced accordingly – A fully insured express mail order service is still available, or if required, for the time being you can still visit the showroom in Ashbourne, Derbyshire (Please note :- showroom visits by prior appointment only)
Private Collection:- So yes the shop will be closing down early 2020 – However I have been surrounded by guitars, for well over 40 years and intend to continue with this practice for some time to come, albeit in a semi-retired capacity – For the foreseeable future I’ll continue to buy and sell a discerning selection of used guitars, with the focus on quality and not quantity – As such I’ll continue to exhibit at various guitar shows, throughout the UK, during 2020, where you’ll find me, with a display of guitars from the Private Collection – Therefore I’ll continue to maintain the web site as a platform to feature guitars from the Private Collection - Please click here for further details - For the time being showroom visits (by appointment only) or an express mail order service will still be available as required
Many thanks for giving me the opportunity to spend such an enjoyable time working within the guitar business – Very best wishes – Mark Hopkin

Comments
Please note that I’m currently working on my web site, making all the appropriate changes, so give me a few hours to get all the work carried out – Hopefully by Saturday tea time, or sometime on Sunday, all updates will have been carried out – So please click back later
Please note that there is no urgency to close down the store, regarding time – The decision to close is my choice and not influenced by any 3rd party applying any financial pressure etc – Therefore whilst I have reduced the prices on a selection of guitars, I still have time on my side – As such I’m prepared to accept the closure and reduction in stock level to take its time, as required – Today I have a shop with well over 100 guitars in stock – In due course I will retain around 40/50 guitars and continue to exhibit at guitar shows throughout the UK, so keep in touch and come along and say hi
I hope the above messages make sense – Any questions and comments then please get back in touch accordingly – Thanks Mark
Sad to hear that news, but completely understandable, and sounds pretty sensible to me too! I was vaguely thinking of visiting again sometime this year - better make it sooner rather than later!

It is something of a sad statement as to the future for small guitar retailers, but you're right to leave on your own terms and with the great reputation you've built up. Best of luck .

My head said brake, but my heart cried never.
Hope to catch you at a few shows still. Enjoy your freedom!
