I went today to the new home of The Chicago Music Exchange which has just opened up in it's new location. Wow! The largest selection of new and used/vintage I have ever seen. I didn't ask how many instruments were being displayed but my guess is somewhere between 1200 and 1500 instruments. All done up like an art gallery with crystal chandeliers, new hardwood floors and new hardwood hanging racks floor to ceiling with beautiful axes, acoustic and electric. The staff was friendly and zero pressure and let me try various old, what else, Gibsons and Martins.

If you ever come to Chicago, just seeing this place is amazing.
