The guitar shop
A guitar shop is much more to a musician than just a place to buy instruments. It is place to trade information, to play guitar, to discover new equipment, and to have repairs done.
It is meeting point for band members and those looking for fellow musicians. Celebrities have a favourite dealer, who informs them about the latest models or recently acquired precious, old ones. Kids carry their savings to the shop to buy their first guitar. Experts test the latest effect devices. Beginners ask for advice about strings and picks. The curious marvel at the latest trends in colour, design and technology. The thorough deal with technical literature and spare parts.
Most important, everybody is allowed to play (almost) every instrument. Some do so rather tentatively and insecure, others with skill and confidence.
Here, at the exhibition, you can do so as well.
