If you play guitar in Mumbai, you’re lucky, the city has some of the best music shops in the country.
From entry-level beginner guitars to rare, professional gear, you can find almost anything here.
But every store has its own style, and some are official dealers for the biggest brands in the world and the rarest collection.
Here’s my simple guide to five great guitar shops in Mumbai, what they stock, and why you might want to visit them.
