Craig has been buying selling and trading Vintage Guitars and Amps since 1964. He opened his first brick and mortar store in 1978 and now occupies a 10,000 sq. ft. guitar filled store, complete with a performance stage. BTO and Signature Taylors, Martins, PRS, Vintage Gibson's and more. Mesa Boogies, Vox, Marshall, Fender line the floor. A pilgramage made by people from all over the world.

Absolute class act, guys! Thanks for letting me drool on the premises for awhile! See you at the Dallas Guitar Festival.

on 03/10/2011 		sorry correction - re: The Music Zoo the guitars are not set-up, they might be before shipping but not for walk-ins.
GC
on 03/10/2011 		you lost credibility having the music zoo. I live near it. Their service is terrible, they have major attitudes, it's too small and the guitars and not set=up. The do mostly internet sales.

on 02/22/2011 		After reading this article, I would be remiss if I did not comment. In my personal experience, there are only three things worth living for. One, of course, is a good *******, another is visiting Richard Nixon's grave and the third is a visit to the guitar store that sets the standard for what is possible when, like Buddha, you finally enter Nirvana. That level of euphoria occurs at a shop in Staten Island, NY, daily, when visitors like George Harrison to Jimmy Buffett to Christopher Guest, to, um, me, walk into the "Dream Fulfillment Center" commonly known as Mandolin Bros. I have personally purchased guitars there and have had fantastic experiences every time I have been there. Please amend your list to include this "experience maker" !
