Title: Suggestions For Good Guitar Stores in Phoenix?
Post by: lbpesq on March 18, 2014, 08:55:24 AM

My son & I are headed to Phoenix this afternoon for a few days of Spring Training (Go A's!).  I might have a little time to check out a guitar store or two.  Anyone know of any cool shops in the area - especially that carry old and/or unusual guitars?
 
Bill, tgo

Bizzarre Guitar on 7th AVENUE (not street) in Phoenix.
 
Bob Turner is the owner. He's good friends with Paul Turchetta, the owner of the place where I work on Saturdays - Cave Creek Guitar.
 
If you're able to head north of Phx - Cave Creek is an interesting day trip. CC Guitar hours are 10 - 5 M-F and 10-4 on Sat. Closed Sun.
 
Let me know if you're coming and I'll make sure the place is clean(er)...;-)

Bizzarre Guitar lists many items on eBay if you want a preview.

It's arguably the best repository of vintage instruments in the Phoenix area.
 
Bob has been in business a long time and he really knows his stuff.

The Bass Place.

Bizarre looks real promising.  The Bass Place doesn't appear to carry guitars at all.  There's a possibility I might have time to check out Cave Creek Saturday morning before the A's game - if so, I'll give you a call, David.
 
Thanks guys,
