A review from someone not caught up in the hype. I went into this store because I drove past not because I recognize any legacy it has. I walked in and thought what anyone would: kid in a candy store. I love vintage guitars and I am a collector. As we walked down to the crowded guitar pit on the display at the end of the ramp my wife stopped me to take a look at something I had just walked past and some rude older man who worked there and gave an exasperated sigh like it was a giant inconvenience like we were holding him up from something important by looking at merchandise THEY PLACED THERE! I was high enough up the food chain there to warrant having a desk to himself so Ill assume he is owner or manager and should know better.
I love that the guitars are very accessable. One very nice guy was very welcoming to us and I appreciated him and one nice woman as we were leaving were the stars here. I dont know what was going on that day but they had some kid walking around recording video of the place and he repeatedly got in the way of people shopping like he had zero sense or manners. Then you get to the pricetag and I understand running a brick in mortar in a town where skyscraper cranes are starting to outnumber native residents but almost any guitar with a G on the headstock was close to $1000 over an actual wiggle room. I get inflating price for negotiation room and covering overhead and convenience but its a bit overkill. The amount of guitars were impressive Ill never take that from them.

If you want and destination shopping tourist or fanboi review theres a ton of them. Im just a guy who has bought and plenty of vintage guitars and have been in every type of guitar store you can think of coast to coast. Maybe I caught the place on a bad day but Ill never go back but I will thank the two people in there who were nice. You were the saving grace of this place.
