I haven't really been to a Manhattan guitar shop for years. My last couple of music store trips have been to Main Drag. But this is all basically for a rec for a friend of a friend coming from out of the country, and I don't want to send him to Williamsburg just to buy a telecaster.

One of the things I hate about playing guitar is that it is such a well-mined instrument, meaning that there is such a wide range of things that have become cliche. And whenever I sit down in a guitar store I feel like I inevitably revert to cliches, because I am "good" at guitar but too self-conscious not to worry about being perceived as "good," so I just anxiously revert to some blues lick.

Anyway, I was pleased to find out the suburban outpost of this place: https://rudysmusic.com/ is close to me. Not a massive selection but a cool one, and just a really nice, pleasant store to be in with the nicest employees, the anti-Sam Ash.
