Though I can't say that larger music stores have disappointed me with their prices and services, I wanted to try a small local provider to see what the difference would be. Well, if I wanted to pay twice as much for the same guitar strings I buy at the big stores, I would have been in the right place. But I was asked if I needed help immediately upon entering, and their selection of guitar upstairs was varied and impressive, so I can't knock them completely. But expect to pay a premium if you do want to be treated like the only customer in the store.
