NYC music shops?

[Uzi Nein Millimetah]

No one is ever randomly slaughtered for no reason or targeted by an opportunist in NYC, I'm sure it would be perfectly safe to take a new $5000 guitar on the subway and discuss it with some of the fine patrons who ride it all day, going nowhere....and evidently immune to laws.

Music Zoo is definitely a cool shop if you can drive to it or take the train/taxi. The Music Zoo has lots of cool amps and guitars. If you're looking to stay local and enjoy sweet vintage gear, I'd highly recommend Retro Fret in Brooklyn and/or TR Crandall in Manhattan. The acoustics in Retro Fret are magic. If you're more of an electric player I'd hit up TR Crandall as their electric selection is better.
