Whether it's a first guitar for a beginner or an upgrade for a gigging player, the right choice comes down to how it feels in your hands — which is exactly why we want you to play it first. For four decades we've helped students, teachers, worship teams and touring musicians across Abu Dhabi and the UAE find guitars they actually enjoy picking up every day.
The local climate matters for guitars too. Heat and humidity age strings quickly and can move an acoustic's action over time, so we set up every guitar before it leaves the shop, stock coated strings for longer life, and are always here for a re-setup or fret dress down the line. New to playing? A nylon-string classical is gentle on the fingers; prefer a brighter sound or want to plug in? We'll walk you through acoustic, electric and bass options side by side.
Why buy your guitar from AKM
Guitar buying — common questions
What's a good first guitar for a beginner?
For most beginners a nylon-string classical or a steel-string acoustic is the easiest start — softer on the fingers and no amp needed. Younger players often need a 3/4 size. Visit the showroom and we'll match a guitar to your hand size, style and budget.
Do you set up guitars before I take them home?
Yes — our in-house workshop sets up action, intonation and strings so your guitar plays comfortably from day one. We also handle fret work, electronics and repairs afterwards. More on repairs & setups.
How do I stop strings rusting in the UAE heat and humidity?
Wipe strings down after playing, keep the guitar cased with the AC on, and consider coated strings for longer life. We stock coated and standard strings and can recommend the right gauge for your guitar and style.
Do you deliver, and can schools get a bulk quote?
Yes to both — we deliver across Abu Dhabi and the UAE, and schools, bands or institutions can request a formal quotation for multiple instruments via our Get a Quote page.
