I just came back from what's going to be the most beautiful guitars shop I ever see. Imagine a music shop of more than 2'000 square meters with around 500 sq.meters for guitars only and a wall full of 450 guitars on 6 different levels and 2 rooms for amp testings, the floor covered with amps and pedals.
 It's probably going to be the biggest music shop in Switzerland, and the good thing is that shop is 10 minutes from my home.  It will be finished in about 2 weeks... can't wait to spend my Saturday afternoon there and test all the guitars !  Will post pictures as soon as I can get some. --------------------  My Guitars: Fender Stratocaster Billy Corgan Signature, Ibanez RG270 My Amp: Peavey Bandit 112 My Pedals: Blackstar HT-Dual, Boss DD-7, Boss CS-3, Boss RC-20 My Wishlist: New bridge + Pickups for my Ibanez, EHX POG2, EHX Cathedral / Holy Grail |

My favorite privately owned music shop is Bill's Music near where my wife's parents live. Check out this pic of just his Fender vintage amps for sale!!

Well I went to the site and was thinking there seemed to be not so much on offer (mail order-wise) for such a big store. Looks like you are the right man for the job then, eh?! -------------------- My gear?

Looks like you are the right man for the job then, eh?! I hope so. They are not online retailer or discounter. So the online shop is not as big as the real one. They prefer the real stuff you can touch with your hands and get advices from their staff. I think it's a good philosophy.
