Cool used guitar store in San Diego?

Cool used guitar store in San Diego?

Post by pwrb » Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:34 am

I'll be visiting relatives over the holidays, in San Diego, and was hoping to check out any cool guitar stores there might be. Any suggestions? (I've been to Buffalo Brothers and enjoyed it, but found it a bit too high end and slanted toward pricey Fender relic'ed guitars... I'm more looking for low-key neighborhoody shop with a good variety of old guitars, both high end and low end.)
Thanks for any pointers...
-Pete

Well, it's not a neighborhood place and it's in North County (Escondido), but Super Sound Music is cool.

Thanks, Roy. Looks more my style than the other ones I've found online. Will check it out when I'm out there.

FWIW, doing a web search for "san diego guitar store vintage" (etc.) mostly yields instrument repair places, as well as places to get guitar lessons. Oh, and, uh, Guitar Center. Odd.

No prob, Pete.

Yeah, it's kind of lame that there aren't good vintage type guitar shops in San Diego. I'm sure if you go up to LA you'll find a lot.
