Carter Vintage Guitars has a huge inventory of unique and boutique instruments alongside the industry titan's more distinctive offerings. I did not purchase an instrument on my recent visits but I was fully impressed by their comprehensive selection of just about everything they carry. I was shopping for a mandolin but it was hard to not be distracted by all the other guitars surrounding me. If I was going to criticize one thing it would be the lighting. It's definitely a showroom that is framing the instruments as they might appear on a stage. The problem is that, in the case of the high end mandolin rooms it was really hard to to read the logos on the headstock. There was an instrument that I wanted to hear a second time and simply could not find it because I just couldn't see headstocks of the top row of instruments. I didn't have time, nor did I want to handle all the instruments or bother with a sales person at that point.
