Default Visited the new location of Carter Vintage yesterday

Took a quick trip to Nashville to go pick up my wife at the airport and had a couple of hours to kill. I went to the new location of Carter Vintage - Wow!! They did a beautiful job - so much space, so much light and so many guitars. They are so chill there about letting you take pretty much anything off the wall and just sit and play. I took a 12k Collings Electric into a room, plugged in and lost track of time. If you haven't been - the staff is amazing and the selection is really unlike any shop around - except for perhaps Gruhn's.

Directly across the street from the old place.

Default yes..

The new location is across the road...if you're coming from south of town...turn right just before you get to the "old" place...then the parking garage is at the far corner of the building on the left...turn left and go up 1 floor...you'll see the Carter vintage spots...you have to scan a barcode to park...put in your info...then at the shop they will validate your parking so it will not cost anything..the new location actually faces the back side of the building....very cool space!!!..look at the video they posted on their website and it makes more sense...

here is the video:

Thanks! The video is helpful in seeing where they are now. Looks like a bigger building. What a great place...

Collings electrics are so great. I've not ever been a huge fan of their acoustics but the I-35LCV I have is the greatest electric I've ever been fortunate enough to play.
