Nashville music stores

If you go to Gruhns try to talk someone into taking you to the vault. They often have some very unique collectable stuff in stock including several vintage Fenders. I played an absolutely mint 64 matching headsock Jazz there along with Glen Worf's 57 Precision. They also had a Alembic Series one owned by John Lodge of the Moody Blues. Willie Weeks also seems to sell a lot of stuff from them. Gruhn's strength is no doubt Accoustic guitars and the only place I've seen rival it is Elderly in Lansing MI. They also have some cool accoustic basses including some really nice vintage Kay's in stock usually.

Low End is definitly worth checking out, some pretty serious basses hang out there, but call first. Corner is a cool place, I've only been there once, and they were closing up as I arrived but the owner or manager graciously let me in. They are a Sadowsky dealer. I didn't notice anything special in the Guitar center I visited except they had the best selection of new and used Telecasters on the planet.
