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,

Bill, tgo
