Van Leeuwen Guitars Stands for Service!
As fellow guitar enthusiasts, we know exactly what your dream guitar needs! That’s why our guitars undoubtedly play better than when they left the factory. With us, you won’t find string action so high you could ride a bike under it, or completely worn-out frets!
Our Core Values:
Set-up
Relief, action, and intonation are perfectly adjusted.
Fretwear-Free
Treated to a fret level, dress, or refret whenever necessary. In case of very subtle and barely noticeable wear we leave the wear to preserve the height of the frets .
Originality
Every instrument is thoroughly checked for authenticity by a specialist. Has anything ever been replaced? If so, it will be stated.
Maintenance
Thoroughly cleaned and oiled, with every guitar leaving the shop strung with a brand-new set of strings!
Pickup or Shipping?
Pick up by appointment, or have it shipped safely and fully insured? Both are possible!
Warranty
Every guitar is thoroughly checked for flaws. That is why we offer a 3-month warranty on every instrument. Read more about our warranty terms…
Fresh arrivals
New guitars, fresh out of the workshop, ready for their next owner. Act fast, because each instrument is unique and there isn’t another one like it!

Why Choose a Pre-Owned Instrument?
We believe that every guitar is unique. You can have two identical models, but they will likely still sound different. Wood is, after all, a natural product! Especially when the guitar has been well played in by a good guitarist.
That is why we believe vintage not only sounds and plays the best, but is also the most unique, as well as the best choice for your wallet and the planet. We do our utmost to provide you with the best possible experience, allowing you to enjoy all the benefits of a pre-owned guitar without any of the worries. This way, you can focus on what truly matters: making music!
We certainly have an eye for special guitars, without getting too full of ourselves of course! Our collection ranges from young pre-owned models to true vintage gems, both acoustic and electric, primarily crafted in the USA, Japan, or Korea.

Top notch guitar store, demos provided, all questions answered promptly and safe & speedy overseas delivery to UK. Great service from Fabio. Highly recommend the online buying experience with this seller.
Chris Guffey
Top-Shelf Service & Guitars! I’ve had nothing but a pleasurable experience dealing with them. The pricing is fair, shipping is great, and everything was packed extremely well, especially as I live across the pond in the US. I’ve never had a single problem with any of the guitars I’ve bought from them, and their customer service is absolutely top-notch, top-shelf service every single time. Thank you Fabio!
