Probably wouldn't be too productive. I don't think there's a guitar pick within ten blocks of the place. And they have miles and miles of all kinds of guitar strings, but they're all nylon. But it's this kind of specialization--chose one thing and do it extremely well--that can make a small shop a success, even when surrounded by mega-music stores.

Works for book stores as well. I know of several great small, specialized book stores that offer services that Border's, Barnes & Noble, and the other biggies can't be bothered with.
