Hi,
Can anyone recommend any good (and friendly) guitar stores in the Bay Area? I will be there on a business trip soon and would like to take the opportunity to visit any worthwhile guitar stores, especially those who stock Guilds, and even more especially those who stock vintage Guilds.
Last time I visited Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto. They had some great guitars (Martins, Collings etc) but no Guilds (although the guy did said they had just sold the only Guilds they had in stock the previous week).
I also visited Guitar Center in San Francisco which also had some nice guitars but a bit too off-the-shelf for my liking.
Any other recommendations? I will be staying in Mountain View and I'm prepared to travel maybe up to 50 milers (although the closer the better).
Thanks.
