Fat Tone Guitars – A Guitar Store and Website with a Difference
Since we can’t be all things to all people – and wouldn’t want to – here is what we are about:
Our Products – We have selected those lines of guitars, amps and effects that we feel are the best in their class. Across all price ranges, our products offer the best tone, playability and value we can find. From the retro charm and vintage vibe of Eastwood Guitars, to the classic British crunch of Orange Amps, to the warm, familiar beauty of Fano Guitars, Fat Tone has the gear for you.
Our Specialty Boutique – We’re especially proud of the Fat Tone Specialty Boutique, which has a lot of unusual and custom made gear, including some that is exclusive to Fat Tone Guitars. Fat Tone aims to be on the cutting edge and we regularly add items to the Specialty Boutique that you will not find elsewhere.
Our Customers – We know that our customers are our most important asset. Whether you are a professional player, a weekend warrior or just starting out on guitar or bass, you can discover great products, and expand your tone at Fat Tone Guitars. Fat Tone will help you find the perfect guitar, bass, amp or effect to help you express that sound you hear in your head.
Our Website – Shopping for guitars and amps on the web can be tough. So we designed our website with our customer’s needs in mind. That means: finding the products you need quickly and easily, getting the information you need, and placing your order securely. While here, take your time and browse through our Specialty Boutique and Special Features for new ideas in music and in gear.
Shipping - The products we sell are not drop-shipped from some remote location, but from our store-warehouse in
Northbrook,
IL and only after they have been tested by our staff. Because we are a block from a major UPS hub, shipping time is usually cut by one day. We offer
FREE SHIPPING on any order which totals $200 or more and on all effects pedals. Click here for our
shipping policy.
Sales Tax - We do not charge sales tax on products shipped outside of Illinois.
Our Showroom – Fat Tone is not just a website. We have a brick and mortar showroom in
Northbrook,
IL, a
Chicago suburb. You can check out pictures of our showroom in our
Showroom Gallery. If you are in the
Chicago area, please stop by and visit us. In addition to our great selection, we service and repair gear and have special events at our showroon.
Fat Tone Guitars showroom hours are 12 to 6 weekdays and 12 to 5 Saturdays.
Our Company – Fat Tone Guitars is an independent privately owned company, which is run hands-on by the owners. Everyone at Fat Tone loves music and we love guitars.
