Hey, going to NY near Time Square with my wife this weekend, any guitar store you can suggest me near?

Thanks
 
Guitar Center is at Times Square. They have a nice Platinum Room.

Sam Ash is down a few blocks near MSG.

True. The Platinum Room there is amazing.
 
Check out Ludlow for a killer pedal selection.

The Platinum room in NYC is meh...

Both are closed. Rudy's is in Soho and Sam Ash is near MSG (34th I believe)


30th Street guitars on 28th is my favorite place...

Had no idea. I'm surprised about Rudy's though. About 5 years ago, he opened a beautiful showroom around the corner from the store in midtown. Andy Timmons did a free show in the showroom when it opened. Sad if that's gone.
 
It's a bummer about 48th St. I lived in Staten Island when I was in high school...skipping school and hanging out on 48th St or by the K-ROK building hoping to meet Howard Stern was how I spent my 9 months there. Got my JEM at Manny's and figured I was destined to be great because Jimi and Gilmour got their guitars there, too. :lol: :LOL:

Took the words right out of my mouth. When I started playing guitar in 7th grade, my buddy (bassist and friend to this day) used to love riding the subway from Queens into the City on a Saturday morning to browse all the shops: Sam Ash, Rudy's, Manny's, etc. We ran into all kinds of pros etc. It was great.
