I have been an Elderly customer for six years through mailorder. They are by far the best I have found. I buy everything from them--even strings, 'cause you can't beat the prices. I bought a used fiddle from them and have been very pleased with it.

Unfortunately, I live in California, so any guitar I bought from tham would have to be mailorder, which would preclude playing it before hand. So I need to find a good local shop. We do have a few who let you play without standing over your shoulder. Between now and the time I can save the dough, I'll be able to play a lot of guitars.

Thanks everyone.
