I have been into the Sam Ash in Houston. Its in a bad area of town and never has much of a guitar selection.

The era of Guitar Mart is almost over. They can’t compete with online stores on strings and accessories which used to drive a lot of foot traffic into the shops. Once I started buying strings, pics, polish, and cleaning crap online, my # of trips to the guitar store dropped to almost zero. Now I only go if I am looking for a specific guitar that I know they have.
