New York, NY (June, 2008) -- Premier Guitar is On Location in New York City -- checking out one of the planet's hottest hot spots for guitars, West 48th Street.

Manny's is the most famous high end shop of the bunch. The gear selection is impressive but it's the history that gives the store its unique vibe. Pretty much every big name you can think of has a signed glossy on the wall. The store's famous demo guitar has been in the hands of Hendrix, the Beatles, you name it, but remember - they came for the gear. It ain't too shabby.

Why don't you ask Shure or Sennheiser to equip your video crew(s) with wireless body mics so we can hear what they person you're interviewing is saying. 75% of what Sam had to say was difficult to hear because he wasn't ON MIC!

While I have never had the chance to visit your shop in person the video's and articles had it at the top of must visit if in New York.

If you want to go to the only REAL quality guitar shop in New York, visit Rudy's. I've been shopping there for almost 20 years. Great products, and great service! The classiest place to go.
