Hi there denizens of New York, I will most likely be passing through your city later this year. I have not been before...
There have absolutely got to be some decent guitar shops in NYC right?
If anyone has suggestions of good places to buy Fender (vintage and/or new Tele) and Ibanez (I'm looking specifically for a 7 or 8 stringer) guitars... please let me know
Also if you know of any cool clubs/venues where I might be able to catch a few live bands (folk/pop/rock/indie/metal) please let me know about those also!
i really like rudy's they got a small but nice guitar shop, and there amp room around the corner is sweet, sam ash is good in the old location but they moved into a bigger location that was once mannys music. i have not been up there yet since they moved, it's been a little cold for me to walk the streets of ny
It was really interesting to visit those stores. No bargains though... it all varied from "right priced" to "crazy" (e.g. US$70 for an MT-2 with a pot shaft broken off).
