Today is a special day! 8 years ago, Tony and Laura moved on from Matlock Music Shop and took over the management of Real Time Music Shop, as you see it today! 🎸

Real Time Music Shop has grown massively over the past 8 years; we've added walls, knocked some down, moved the counter, and maximised the space to its full potential to squeeze in as many guitars as we possibly can! 🛠️

It's all thanks to our amazing customers that we have managed to achieve a guitar shop of this scale. We cannot thank you all enough for all your continued support, and we hope Real Time will continue to be a part of Chesterfield for many years to come! 🤘

Check out the Washburn Bella Tono Suprema SC40SCE by Washburn Guitars, demonstrated by Jake!

This guitar features a solid Sitka Spruce top with Walnut back and sides in a Natural Gloss finish. A smaller body and Flame Maple bevel makes it comfortable to play, while the side sound port projects the acoustic sound towards the player so you can hear the rich natural tone whilst playing. It is also fitted with a Barcus-Berry LX4 electronics system to amplify your tone - just as we have done here through the Blackstar Sonnet 120 by Blackstar Amplification 🎸

Come give it a try in store, or take a look on our website:
