Guitar Shops near Omaha?
I'm in Omaha for work. Looking for a good selection of guitars to try, preferably smaller (000 or OM) body all mahogany models.
Google shows 2 guitar centers and a few others. Any recommendations from those who know? Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I did stop in a few local shops. The owner at Ground Floor Guitar (great place for electrics) also suggested the West Omaha Dietze and Lidgett.
I made it to both Dietze locations. They had a real nice selection to play. Schmitt had some decent choices as well. Didn't have time for Lidgett today but I'll definitely get there before I head home. Got a chance to play some pretty nice all mahogany Martin's and Guilds. There's also a Guitar Center that I may look at since there are none close to where I live.

Another vote for Lidgett. I bought an Eastman E40OM from them earlier this year. They were really great to work with and I would highly recommend them. Not to mention the guitar I bought from them is incredible.

Checked out Lidgett today. Very cool shop. Got to play an 018 and 028, bunch of nice Collings and an Iris. Don't remember the Iris model but it had maple back and sides and sounded wonderful. Loads of sustain, extremely responsive to fingerstyle picking. Really nice guitar.
Really nice selection and staff. My wife is lucky we live over 1000 miles away....

Good, glad you made it to Lidgett. Great shop in a cool part of downtown Council Bluff, IA.
Rob, who runs the place, is a good guy and a straight shooter. I used to live about an hour west across the river. Used to run over there whenever I had a couple hours to kill.
