I was in Dallas last summer and visited the Guitar Sanctuary. I was told it was beyond impressive--and it was. Well, they just opened their new place, and now they're just running up the score.

Oh wow... that place makes Guitar Center look like Dollar Tree!

Wow... I...

That's really cool. I have no plans to go to Dallas, but if I did, my itinerary would be getting joggled right now.

The old one was pretty cool. The main room housed all of the nicer guitars. And they weren't just hanging on the wall--guitars were displayed nicely, almost like art. Around the corner they had the sub-$1000 electrics. Acoustics got a room, and up front was the amp room. All of it was just done nicely--and not over the top, just nice. Plus the people were nice. I bought a magazine and some picks.

I might schedule a trip to Dallas just for this!

I'd almost expect a store like that to have a cover charge to enter... just to keep out the moneyless riff-raff... like me.
