How do I start with ""Emile Baran"" who's real name is Billy Baron who owns Dekalb Musician Supply and the next door store Emile Baran Instruments. From the very start of my dealings with this shop they have misled me on every purchase. The carry EXTREMELY substandard equipment that is so overpriced it is comical. Notice how the made in China labels have been removed from all of there stringed instruments and replaced with the ""Emile Baran"" label. There stringed instruments are a joke. Don't waste your time. They lied to me and ripped me off badly. They make Guitar Center look fair and honest.
Pros: It is small, you might get lucky and not find the store at all
Cons: They are the epitomy of the old ""bait and switch""/""rip 'em off good"" stores that ruined the mom and pop music industry
