    Default Good guitar shop recommendations in dfw area?

    We have a few guys from our Prague, Czech Republic office in town this week. One of them wants to get a new electric acoustic or possibly a used American fender strat. Any recommendations for some good stores around the metroplex to go look? The closer to arlington the better but i'll take any recommendations. Guitar Center is an obvious choice and we'll probably stop by the Arlington store at lunch tomoorow.
    TIA

    A little late to this party, but if I were looking for used gear in Dallas, I'd check out some of the places in Garland, starting with Zoo Music.
    Oh, well I've got two sevens, and two sevens beats a frush.

    Thanks for all the input. He decided he wanted a new acoustic but after looking around and online discovered that the price difference wasn't enough for the hassle of trying to transport it back with him vs just ordering online and having shipped to Prague.

    Hi, Stevan. How are you doing?

    Cali has been good so far. Still haven't gotten out and made many friends out here yet, but that's because I'm too broke to go out and do anything. But it's nice to be back in my hometown, and I still haven't gotten tired of the scenery. And hopefully I'll get a nice raise soon, so I can start getting out and enjoying more of what L.A. has to offer.

    I'll be coming back to Texas for a visit April 27 through May 5. I haven't been back since I moved out here, so it'll be good to see my friends and family in Texas again.

    Let me know next time you're out this way, and I'll try to meet up with you.
