I've been buying from Paul at the Music Trader in Tucker, GA for many years and have always found him to be helpful. He has a lot of cheap stuff and he tells you that. However, he has the best price on strings in town at $3.00 and he has good quality straps for $5.00. I've bought guitars, fiddles, mandolins, strings, pick ups and other electronic gear, etc. He's very helpful in setting his instruments up and he has all kinds of amps, mixers, etc at good prices. I recommend the store highly.
Pros: great selection of all things musical
Cons: most stuff is inexpensive Chinese for beginners or less discerning musicians
