    Hi Guys,

    I'm making a trip across the pond to Los Angeles in January. I'll be staying in Hollywood and am keen to see as much guitar-related stuff as possible. On my list so far is:

    Guitar Center
    Sam Ash
    Mesa Boogie
    Whisky-A-Go-Go
    Troubador

    I know there are many other places to go but I need your help! What suggestions have you got? Guitar shops or rock pubs/clubs etc. Note that I'm not looking to buy anything, simply to take in the sights!

    Thanks!

    If you can get to Corona (~55 miles away), I hear the Fender factory tour is interesting.

    The Monday night true pro jam at the Baked Potato is great. Can be a little intimadating depending on your skill level. Worth checking out even if you just sit in the corner.

    I wonder if G&L gives tours? They are in Fullerton, just a few miles north of Disneyland. On Fender Avenue :thumbsup:

    There's a Metrolink station in Corona so you'd be able to take the train there.
