Wunjo Guitars

For my 16^th birthday I wanted a nice electro-​acoustic to enjoy playing for a long time. This shop was perfect for me. One of he staff members, Bob, helped us greatly in deciding what brand, size and tone was best for me. He knew all of the specifications details and definitely secured our purchase.
I couldn’t bring myself to play one of the vintage guitars as I knew they were far above my price range however I saw that they had a great collection.
In the end we left with a beautiful guitar which came with a hard case, strap, spare battery and a new set of strings. Far more than I imagined!
All in all it was a lovely shop with friendly staff and lovely guitars. I would recommend any guitarist to stop at this shop when on the famous Denmark street.

Probably the best customer service in London, which puts it in the running for best service in Europe. The staff was fun, generous and outstanding from the minute we walked in. I came in with my boy looking to get him a gift for his 16^th birthday. It was his first time buying a guitar in a store, and the salesman made him feel relaxed and welcome. They were happy to let him try anything he wanted, and threw in a great case. The boy wanted to buy picks and they let him have a few for free. A great experience, my highest recommendation.

This is a decent enough shop, usually staffed by friendly people who don’t seem too pushy and are happy to just let you try guitars. As for the stock, a lot of it is pretty tatty and for anything conceived as remotely hip/​vintage/​weird you’re going to pay top dollar.
I’ve had a couple of experiences in there with stock that is of questionable origin being sold as something else. A Fender Custom Shop Nocaster that according to the guy working there apparently came ‘stock’ with GOLD knobs, when the rest of the hardware was chrome. I don’t think so…
You do see some nice stuff in there though, and they’re the only store in Central London who even stock Rickenbacker. The amps and effects selection are extremely limited. They could expand on that somewhat. The acoustics selection is good and I guess they have a fairly nice array of new Fender (MIM/​MIJ) and assorted oddball guitars. Not sure I’d buy anything in there, must less a vintage guitar. Their prices on new gear are fairly run of the mill, you’re not going to have a deal in there. In comparison to other stores in Denmark Street it’s probably a bit nicer an experience to browse there, but that isn’t saying much. In general unless you’re a tourist who has never visited the street, you’re probably going to want to go further afield. But you know that already…

I’d been looking for an electro-​acoustic guitar for my boyfriend for his birthday and had been into many guitar shops before walking into Wunjo’s. Unlike my previous walk-in’s I was greeted straight away by the owner and he made me feel very welcome in the store. As I am not a guitarist myself he sat me down and explained the types of electro-​acoustics and showed me a few different ones he had in my price range. After listening to the owner play quite a few of them I made a selection. The guitar sounded great and fit into my price range. On his birthday I brought my boyfriend in and he was so surprised! He loved the guitar and the guys in the shop made him feel really welcome. Wunjo really helped to make my boyfriend’s birthday special. Their help and selection was great and would gladly recommend them to anyone.

Among all the shops in Denmark Streets, Wunjo is my favorite.
First, I have always been amazed with the amount of rarities stored there. 70’s CBS Stratocaster, original Gold Top, ES 175 old as my granny, you name it, they probably had it at some point. This shop is an Ali Baba’s cave. The turnover of the stock is quite good. I make visits there every other month and there is always something new and exiting.
More than often, the client isn’t king in guitar stores. Old guitars are hard to find and risky to buy online. The shopkeepers know it and take advantage of that position being quite rough with the client. This is not happening at Wunjo. It’s even the opposite, they let people try guitars. They even plugged a ’62 Strat (yes, a series L) into an old Orange amp for me once, knowing that I had no intention to buy. I guess I’m biased forever now :)
I don’t see what else a guitar shop can do for you. I strongly recommend it

Denmark Street is great. It makes a musician feel at home… or at least all warm and fuzzy inside. Several of the shops on Denmark St are geared to a specific instrument or type of instrument. Wunjo’s has a good mix of everything.
While I already have three basses, two guitars and various other gear at home, I came here looking for a very particular instrument. Maybe not the one that every rocker dreams of playing on stage, but nonetheless, an awesome one in my book. For a tenner, I became the proud owner of a new Harmonica. Look out London, I harmonicizing the landscape (yes, I know that doesn’t make any sense… deal with it).

Wunjo Guitars is one of the many musical instrument shops located on Denmark Street. As with a lot of shops on the strip, and as the name suggests, it specialises in guitars.
Wunjo is particularly good for used and vintage guitars. The good thing is, they deal with a lot of different brands such as Rickenbacker, Fender, Gibson, Martin and more. They are happy to buy your guitars as well as sell you guitars.
There is nothing particularly remarkable about the aesthetic of the shop. It is quite like the other guitar shops on the street, not that it’s a bad thing.
