    Where's a good shop to check out guitars or basses in Grand Rapids, MI? In town for the day, killing an hour or two.

    Rainbow music on leonard will have the most variety, rit on Plainfield is good for some mesa stuff, bass wise their pretty average

    Depends what you're looking for. None of the stores carry any high end stuff. Lots of MIM Fender around as well as Ibanez and Peavey/Dean/Schecter.

    Check out Firehouse Guitars, RIT, and Rainbow. Elderly if you have time to get to Lansing.

    I was there for a while this winter and didn't really find anything, there was a store that is on the same road as the casino heading out of town but I didnt stop in.

    Cool. Thanks!

    No time for Elderly, unfortunately; I think we're going to head back towards the coast this afternoon. It's hot out here!
