My son & I are headed to Phoenix this afternoon for a few days of Spring Training (Go A's!). I might have a little time to check out a guitar store or two. Anyone know of any cool shops in the area - especially that carry old and/or unusual guitars? Bill, tgo |

Bizzarre Guitar on 7th AVENUE (not street) in Phoenix. Bob Turner is the owner. He's good friends with Paul Turchetta, the owner of the place where I work on Saturdays - Cave Creek Guitar. If you're able to head north of Phx - Cave Creek is an interesting day trip. CC Guitar hours are 10 - 5 M-F and 10-4 on Sat. Closed Sun. Let me know if you're coming and I'll make sure the place is clean(er)...;-) |

Bizzarre Guitar lists many items on eBay if you want a preview. |

It's arguably the best repository of vintage instruments in the Phoenix area. Bob has been in business a long time and he really knows his stuff. |

Bizarre looks real promising. The Bass Place doesn't appear to carry guitars at all. There's a possibility I might have time to check out Cave Creek Saturday morning before the A's game - if so, I'll give you a call, David. Thanks guys, Bill, tgo |
