The best one in Zurich is Bass Center which has now moved to Schlieren. They even make their own Bass guitars called 'Zola'
Best for what? They have the smallest range of all the zurich guitar shops. Maybe better for bass, and I confess I was only in the old store in Alstetten, perhaps things have changed now in the new place.
Yeah they're okay. They've got an outlet near Lochergut as well. It's certainly a place where you can try out guitars at least a bit - better than MusikHug where everything is "don't touch" (or so it seemed the last time I was there). I need to really check out guitars and amps over a certain time frame before deciding the one I'd like. If I can't try stuff out I'm almost okay with buying stuff from an online catalogue.
Total Gitarren near Zwinglihaus bus stop is not too bad either but his markup's seem higher than most - haven't figured that one out.
Still nothing quite like Guitar Center here sadly.
It's the same shop, equal distance between Hardplatz and Lochergut. I've bought 3-4 guitars there in the last few years, never had a problem.
Gitarrentotal prices are very high and they don't respond to emails. Duncan who works there setup a guitar for me 7 years ago and it still plays like a dream. Shame about the prices.
Hmm defiantly try Total Gitarren...... best one in Zurich
Yes I agree with Nigel "gitarren total" in Aemtlerstrasse, Wiedikon is the best, try it out

i recently bought from thonmann.de and musicstore.de. they have much more inventory and a great support in any language
I agree its a great shop but their mark ups are taking the piss somewhat, but I suppose good for them
well, we finally seem to agree on something.
Not sure why this showed up in my EF info (as the thread is from 2014), but this is a great place to buy guitars: https://jaccoud.ch/
But this might be a better alternative: https://www.thomann.de/intl/index.html
I get most my stuff from Gear4Music. Much nicer prices...
https://musix.ch also good
a friend of a friend has a place in Winterthur, lots of loveliness, I've been scared to ask prices
