In the misty morning light, in the historic Lace Market area of Nottingham, something stirs! The Kraken wakes!
As shutters rise and doors are eased open, a glittering world of guitars, amps and fashions is revealed, enticing in musician and non musician alike. Shiny pedals, glittering string packets and guitars of every hue glow under the lights, while music fills the air. Welcome to the wonderful and exciting world of Fuzz.
Unlike its ‘sister’ shop, Guitar Base, with its workhorse approach of getting people into playing, tuition, repairs, community and school work and an Alladin’s cave of accessories – Fuzz is a guitar world apart. Here, Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, Musicman and Sandberg vie for your attention and spring into life via Blackstar, Orange, Marshall, Fender and Mark Bass amps.
Featuring a counter you can plug into and play, a Coca Cola fridge full of strings and accessories, a wall graffiti-ed by a world famous graffiti artist plus fashion T-shirts for players and non players – this is unlike any other guitar shop.
It is said that a pillow salesperson does not sell pillows, but dreams. Old and young alike, players and non players, can look and dream of owning that special Gibson or Fender guitar from Fuzz and take their first tentative steps via Epiphone or other starter guitar. But they will be back!
Knowledgeable staff, enthused by working in this musical environment, have a willingness to go the extra mile to sort out problems or seek out information for our customers.
If you are ever in Nottingham, visit the old Lace Market area with its eclectic mix of boutiques and relaxing cafes. Visit Fuzz and be pleasantly surprised!
