🎸 Guitars, Gear & Advice
Can you help me find the right guitar for my playing style?
Definitely. We take the time to understand your sound, feel and musical goals — and match you with a guitar that fits you perfectly. Just hit us with your questions through our chat or mail us at: info@maxguitarstore.com
What’s the difference between pickups — humbuckers, single coils, P90s?
Pickups shape your tone. Humbuckers are warm and full, single coils are bright and snappy, P90s are raw and punchy. We’ll help you hear and understand the difference.
Should I go for a valve amp or a modelling amp?
Depends on your needs. Valve amps offer classic tone and dynamic feel and power. Modellers give you flexibility, more control and convenience. We’ll guide you through both.
Do you stock left-handed guitars?
Yes. We carry a small selection of left-handed models, and we can order or modify others on request.

It depends on your setup and how you play. We’ll ask the right questions and recommend reliable gear that suits your workflow. Just hit us with your questions through our chat or mail us at: info@maxguitarstore.com
