Reply #11: My local GC is about 40 miles away, I have visited it once. I buy some

[old mark]

stuff -strings, etc, from them, but I prefer used guitars and generally have most of what I want already.

FWIW, I used to work for a local shop with a good reputation, and after really getting to know the owner and watch him work, I have never been back in over 14 years. I would NEVER buy an instrument that had passed through that man's hands and if I were buying new, I'd probably go to a GC or similar and check very carefully.
