Company History

Owner, Simon McCrindle opened Ayr Guitar in 2011.  Simon, a former lecturer at Adam Smith College and professional musician, had a dream of owning an instrumental music store.  He purchased HSK Music in Kirkaldy in 2006.  Simon realised an opportunity in Ayr, when all three music stores closed within a year.  In 2011 he opened his second shop calling the new location Ayr Guitar.

Simon, together with his team, have brought their love of music and musical instruments along with their expertise in repair and a vast knowledge of vintage and antique instruments to Ayr Guitar.  We have been host to musicians from around the world, famous and well regarded, Ayr Guitar has become the go-to boutique music shop of Scotland.
