Our basic goals are:

• to offer all North Americans great deals on guitars.
• to allow Canadians to purchase quality instruments online, without having to pay the heavy costs of shipping, duty and taxes when ordering from the USA. US Customers don't face the same burdens Canadians do when an item is shipped across the border. Canadians are charged tax (pst, gst), duty (4%) brokerage fees (commonly $30-$60 for one guitar) in addition to base shipping charges. US customers ordering from Canada do not face this, unless the item is valued at over US $200.00. So Canadians, think twice - if you pay US $120.00 for a guitar coming from thr States, it will usually cost you over CDN $230 by the time you've paid everything. We can assure you'll get the same instrument from Guitar Biz Canada, for well under that, and well under what you'd pay at your local music store....even after adding shipping charges!
• to seek out and offer affordable, quality guitars, and pass the savings on to you.
• to show guitarists that the reign of the "Big Two" is over. With modern construction techniques even big name companies are turning to the same sources our instruments originate from - but putting their brand-names on, and charging 2 or 3 thimes as much. That is, you'll find that our instruments rank amongst the best in their class.
• to provide brand new instruments that have not gone through the rigors of hanging on a music store wall for eons.
