Guitar stores come in all forms, from the guy who owns a small storefront that he uses as a kind of pawn shop for musical instruments, to major chain retailers like Guitar Center and Sam Ash. While all of these stores will carry a lot of the same basic equipment, they are not all created the same. All will have differences in terms of sales, service and pricing.
The most important thing that you can do, before you go into any guitar store, is to educate yourself about what you're looking for. Ask your guitar teacher, or other musicians, what a good type of guitar is to look for. Once you're in the store, spend as much time as you like playing all different kinds of guitars, from the cheapest to the most expensive. This will give you a good idea of what's available, and what a fine quality guitar feels like.
Once you've educated yourself thusly, don't discount online guitar stores. They carry the same equipment as traditional stores, often at greatly reduced prices. For example www.guitar-4u.com carries everything that the major chain retailers carry, except they can offer you better prices and everything they sell is backed by full manufacturer's warranty, something the guy at the local pawn shop certainly can't promise you. So don't wait, check out online guitar stores now!
