Frequently Asked Questions

Acoustic Centre is Australia's only dedicated acoustic guitar store. We offer expert advice and guidance in getting you the gear that you need. Unlike most stores that like to list every guitar under the sun on their websites, but only actually stock a couple, we keep literally hundreds of hand-picked acoustic and hollowbody electric guitars in stock at any one time, as well as resonators, mandolins, banjos, ukuleles, amps and countless accessories. We are obsessed with acoustic guitars!

We ship everyday to all over Australia using courier services and Auspost. Everything is fully insured and carefully packed to our strict standards. We offer FREE FREIGHT on orders over $30 to most destinations. Occasionally due to issues with delivering to remote or unusual destinations, we aren't able to offer free postage, so we do reserve the right to retract the offer if freight costs exceed 15% of your purchase. We will always notify you if there is an issue and offer a full refund or arrange alternative delivery options.

Stock on many instruments is unfortunately limited. Often when we sell a product we are forced to wait on more production to arrive instore. If you see a product with 'Contact Us for Availability' or 'Incoming Soon' please shoot us an email or give us a call and we will find out when the next item is incoming.

You can pay using your credit card, PayPal, funds transfer or via our partners at Zip Money. Zip Money offers 6 months interest-free on purchases over $1000, and 3 months on purchases under $1000. For more information, please click here.
