Default Guitars in Raleigh, NC

Headed to Raleigh in a few weeks for a very quick trip. Any guitar stores that are a must-see while I'm down there? Thanks.

+1 for SoundPure.

Call and let 'em know you're coming. Unique and special place.

Soundpure and Harry's take the cake around here.

Soundpure has a great selection of Collings, Santa Cruz, Bourgeois, and Eastman, as well as a good used selection.

Harrys is big on Taylor's and Martin's, with some Breedlove and others mixed in.

There is also Guru Guitars on Hillsborough St., not far from Harrys. Haven't been but have heard good things.

If you only had time for one, Id definitely hit Soundpure.

One more thing, about 45 minutes West is Burlington, and Lowe Vintage is an incredible place to play some vintage Martin's and Gibsons!

Just bring a bib if you go to Soundpure. Drool will ensue...

+1 on Soundpure in Durham, and Harry's in Raleigh ... Soundpure is just an amazing place for high end instruments and Harry's in addition to Martin and Taylor, is alo a Guild dealer and has recently picked up Cole Clark.

Guru's down on Hillsborough St. in Raleigh is interesting as well. They don't have new inventory, but frequently have several very nice vintage guitars on the wall.
