Hi all,
Hope everyone’s good! I just thought I’d ask here for peoples opinions and experiences purchasing from Coda Music.
I’m looking at purchasing an acoustic guitar from them at some point in the next few weeks, but Peach is also competitive on the price (albeit not currently in stock).
I know Coda is a smaller shop, and understandably so doesn’t have as big of an online presence and the website doesn’t feel as ‘refined’. The type of money I’m wanting to spend is a lot for myself (D-18), and with that said I am unable to travel down and wanted to hear peoples experiences with them and with purchasing online especially, if with acoustics even better.
With this said I am impressed with their selection, but as you can imagine not being able to travel down, purchasing online and not having the most refined website (although this is moot obviously depending on peoples answers!), as you can understand I’d like to hear more from people if possible.
Thanks again guys and take care.

Seriously, buy with confidence - if you don't like the guitar they'll arrange a return with no hassle.
Edit: my purchases were all made online and Coda were happy to take extra photos of a guitar in daylight outside the shop when I asked!
In fact, I went through a really bad run where I returned something like three guitars in a row (I just didn't take to them) and I feared that the guys at Coda would get a bit miffed, but they didn't bat an eyelid.
They probably wouldn't still be in business if not for you, Dave
I think they might have just got by! I hadn't bought from Coda before the lockdown, preferring to try in person, but I seem to have cottoned on to this buying online thing now.
Ooh how lovely! That will go well with my word processor.
