Bay Area guitar stores

[GM]

I will be heading to the Bay Area (Oakland) next week and am interested in finding a good Accoustic guitar store. Any recommendations?

If you can get up north about 40 miles or so to Petaluma, visit the Tall Toad Music. One of the best guitar shops I've ever been in.

Hrm, one shop that I've only been to recently, but has a nice selection of acoustics and electrics (some nice high-end Taylors too), is Guitar Showcase in San Jose. San Jose is about an hour south of Oakland. For the address you can check the Taylor website, and for directions check www.mapquest.com.

Nothing in the Bay Area comes close to Gryphon in Palo Alto. You'll lose your mind. I'd plan on spending most of the day.

While at Gryphon, stop drooling over the guitars for a minute to chat with Frank Ford, a luthier at the shop. Visit Frank's website, FRETS.COM. It's amazing...
