Acer Records is an independent record label, based in Hazel Grove, Greater Manchester, England, United Kingdom.

Originally named after Tim Scott's private studio facility – Acer Studios, it was set up initially in 2002 for the recording and release in 2003 of his debut album Bald on the Inside,Bald on the Inside album review – Guitar & Bass Magazine February 2004 Vol 14 No 20 by John Callaghan (page 18)Bald on the Inside album review – Guitar Techniques (magazine) January 2004 GTC94 by Cliff Douse (page 8) and as a front to administer the publishing rights and distribution of his solo compositions.Bald on the Inside album review – Guitarist January 2004 Issue 245 by Ben Bartlett (page 166)

Bald on the Inside was distributed through Borders throughout the UK. Backed by a UK-wide in store CD signing tour, it generated enough sales to put it occasionally inside their top 200 sellers list."Guitarist Tim's on the write track – but without any words" – Manchester Evening News, 2 June 2004 by Paul Taylor

The name was changed to Acer Records in order to separate the label and the underlying core company in 2008 with the release of Tim Scott's second album Guitar MashingGuitar Mashing album review – Guitarist February 2009 issue 312 by Simon Bradley (page 160)

The grouped release of the Amy Jane, Angel Dust and 4:AM singles and the digital release of Bald on the Inside all in November 2009, were all encompassed under the Acer Records umbrella.Amy Jane single review – Sound on Sound January 2010 issue 312 by Sam Inglis (page 150)
