        Testimonials

        I began my guitar journey here. The support and advice provided by Leyton has been invaluable. From my first acoustic guitar and recommendation for my first guitar tutor. To my first electric guitar and amp.

        I won't be going anywhere else.

        Malcom Jacobs, Dec. 2020

        I value the excellent customer service!

        Leyton will always go that extra mile to get you what you need. During this lockdown period I know that 'extra mile' has proved to be invaluable to many.
