Default Guitar stores

Is "Anderton's" UK's version of "Guitar Center"? Or are they much better? I don't know so I hope I don't offend anyone.

Very different.

Andertons are a family business. They only have one physical store (though I think they at one point had 3 stores in the same town for different instruments) but are one of the leading online dealers in the UK. The staff are generally pretty knowledgeable. Perhaps Sweetwater would be a better analogy?

Regards,
Clive.

No, they're one of the smaller retailers over here. Equiv. is probably GuitarGuitar.

More like Elderly Instruments or one of the larger independents.

Not as big as Elderly though.
