I grew up buying instruments at Lincoln Music, and at 42 years old I am about to head back into town to probably buy another from them. I have strayed, and purchased some instruments online only to find that used instruments are in worse condition than represented and new instruments are specimens that would be hard to sell in person. In this day of big-box retailers staffed by commissioned salespeople who do not know instruments, it is good to know that Lincoln is still there. Not one of the guys who works there is a slouch when it comes to instruments or music, and you know they will always be straight-up and do what it takes to earn your business and keep you coming back.
Pros: Knowledgeable guys, honest as the day is long, warrantee service department
Cons: They don't have every guitar in the world, but if you really need it they probably have it
