I shop at Subway Guitars in Berkeley CA, where Fat Dog, proprietor, has been building, reworking, setting up and selling me guitars for thirty or more years. His shop is cluttered and small and close, but the focus is on the guitars, and they're not all vintage beauties, although the ones I've gotten there are perfect and at reasonable prices, because Fat Dog cares only about the instruments. My main acoustic-electric has his name on the headstock, built from parts acquired from an out-of-business factory. He, it and the store rock mightily.

The best I have ever dealt with - Eddie's Guitars. www.eddiesguitars.com. I have bought three guitars from them and they had the best deal every time. Ask for Nathan!

Wow!! Thanks so much for picking us! What an honor. I must add that besides me, there is another owner of "Real Guitars", my longtime partner, the amazingly knowledgeable Mr. Ben Levin.
