About Play Away Guitars

We believe that we are unique, we only sell instruments that are:

1. Exceptionally portable.
2. Can be played anywhere, anytime and 'silently'.
3. Do not compromise on quality or playability.
4. Compact, lightweight and comfortable to hold and play (a benefit to all of us) but superb if you can't manage a full size, full weight instrument - for any reason.
5. Are a pleasure to look at and to own.

eg – boat, plane, caravan, office or on stage – and without fear of disrupting others – a hotel, flat, bedsit, we could go on.

Our products have the quality, flexibility and portability to allow all this and more. In short we would simply sum up by saying that we are specialists in high quality and innovative 'guitars that go with you'.

Here is our stand at the Boogaloo Blues Festival at the Farnham Maltings

We are based in Sussex, about an hour south of London and around 30 minutes from Gatwick by car or by train. You will also find us at shows and exhibitions and smaller music festivals and events in Southern England and sometimes much further afield.

Of course we can't be everywhere and so we will constantly update this website with the best products and ideas to help you find the best solutions for your own needs.

We are very proud of our products and we are equally committed to providing you with the very highest level of service.

We are members of the Music Industries Association (MIA) and we fully support and endorse their mission of "creating and encouraging music making". There is no doubt that, in addition to being usable anywhere, these wonderful "travel" instruments also often allow both new and very experienced musicians pleasurable access to a guitar when a more "traditional" instrument may be or may have become, a barrier.

We are located about an hour from London in beautiful countryside near to Brighton, Lewes and Eastbourne but we are easy to find. You are very welcome to come and see us and try our products for yourself. Our hours of business are indicative only and we can usually arrange to welcome you at most times - but please do phone before travelling so that not only can we arrange to have the guitar(s) you want to try brought from stock to the showroom, but also to be sure that we will actually be there to welcome you!

We are really easy to find by car but at just over an hour by train from London Victoria, 30 minutes from Gatwick or around just 10 minutes from Brighton or Eastbourne - so a car is not really required! We will be very happy to pick you up and drop you back at Lewes or Glynde (Glyndebourne) station, whichever suits you better. Why not make a day of it and visit Lewes, Brighton, the South Coast and the beautiful South Downs.

We look forward to welcoming you (but telephone first please). Click here for a location map courtesy of Google Maps and see our Contact Us section for our business hours and a rail map.
