Will be there at the end of the month. Is there anything worth visiting music store wise?
Wow, that's very generous of you. Are you avail during the day? I'll PM you the details.Here are some to consider.
Warning...there is a lot of construction in the city.
Folkway Music...a lot of interesting and typically expensive, primarily acoustic instruments. It is small.
Great breakfast, coffee and baked goodies place across the street called Seven Shores
L&M ...5 minutes walk from Folkway
Guitar Corner...not far. Small but it might be interesting
Sherwood Music...not in Waterloo, but a change from L&M.
I'd be happy to meet with you, have a coffee and drive you to these stores.
Where are you staying in Waterloo?
I sure hope I'm avail. Please invite me and I'll do my best.Yes, I am retired and usually available during the day.
I'll likely be in Ottawa (Glebe area) in October. I'm not planning on going to music stores as I have been to most of them in Ottawa. We always stay at a hotel (next to the Canadian Museum of Nature) that is very near to Spaceman.
However, I hope to meet with @amagras and @mhammer at that time. Maybe you could join us?
Cheers
Dave

Thanks for the kind words @ScottyYou won't find a better guide than Greco...
Interesting character, for sure.I've never quite 'figured out' the owner.
A lot of google reviewers have.Re: Guitar Corner, I've been twice to see the Gretschs. They have an unusually large number of them. But no experience buying. I've never quite 'figured out' the owner.
That would be great!I've been in Sherwood a few times for amp repair in the back by Rich(amplifiersplus.com).
He does fabulous work.
The store is well stocked with a nice layout too.
@1SweetRide and @greco
Depending on what day you're in Waterloo, do you mind if I join you boys for coffee and your guitar shop field trip?
Thanks for reminding me!I forgot about Brickhouse Guitars Brickhouse Guitars – Fine Acoustic Guitars. Sales & Service (all acoustics)
I've never been, but a friend has and he loves them. They carry Furch and Stonebridge which I think are made in Europe.
