Was traveling for work and passed by
nice selection
Small store
Not one Godin in site
Bummer


this Gibson Hummingbird got my attention

the New Epiphone Starlings are the less expensive dreadnoughts that I had Seen advertised
they have very similar specs to my Epi Hummingbird
same neck shape - scale length - body shape - price point- you know inexpensive

this little Parlor Gibson was surprisingly loud and bold sounding

they had a nice selection of double cut LPs
this Epi caught my eye as it was blinged out very nicely

the grain on this double cut JR is sexy

Nice stuff. Everything on that wall looks good to me.

Man, I do like going into a well-stocked private shop that isn't a big chain like GC or SA.

Ya Know
I thought it would have been larger than the local Guitar Center back home
I was mistaken

It was quite small
they were nice and friendly no doubt
the Physical size of the store was one half or one third the size of any GC I've ever been in

I am sure the the Covid is has affected the foot traffic a lot
there were almost no customers in the store at all

there were very few cases of covid here in New Brunswick

one of the smaller "Mall Stores" here in town was completely closed for the pandemic
