Going to Nashville - what stores to hit?

[Cue Dog]

I'm gonna be in Nashville tomorrow through Saturday. Other than Gruhn's, what other guitar stores near downtown should I visit?

[hank]

My fav is Gruhn's. However, nearby (but not necessarily right downtown) are Corner Music, GC, and Cotton Music. Check out locations via Google.

Then there is the Gibson Showcase at Opry Mills. Worth the effort.

Gruhn's, Corner Music, and Guitar Center (not kidding). Rock Block has a lot of cool pedals and a few amps too.

Rock Block has a 'ton' of pedals:D

Nashville Used music might be worth a visit.

Artisan Guitars south of town in Franklin at The Factory on Franklin Road. It's an acoustic candy store of the first order
Guitar Center is a real good one

Gruhn's to say you've been there. They are not friendly people unless you have pocket full.

Corner and World music are both alright.

RockBlock is a neat little shop with a huge pedal inventory. I think they still carry Orange ad Z as well.

To be honest the GuitarCenter is a pretty decent shop here. Always a decent selection of non-typical things.

Excellent - Guitar Center and Rock Block then for sure since they're close to where I'll be, Corner Music and the used shop someone mentioned if there's time. I just came back from the Dallas guitar show, so I've probably seen enough $150,000 Les Pauls for one week and might just skip Gruhn. Thanks for all the replies!

As a Nashville visitor last November I found both Rock Block and Corner to be really cool. The staff at both those stores seemed very genuine and helpful. I probably liked the feel of Corner the most.

Gruhns was amazing to visit but would have to rank as one of the most expensive places in the USA to buy a guitar!

On their used and new non "vintage" stuff, I find that they are actually pretty fair when it comes to prices.

Not guitars....but in the same block as B.B. King's is "The Nashville Cowboy"
Want some really cool $3,000. boots? This is the place!
