I took a road trip to G&A from Louisville, Kentucky to pick up a vintage Cleveland-era Rogers Drum…read moreKit that I bought for a great price through Facebook Marketplace. Throughout the process, Mike and Andy were communicative, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The shop itself is small, but it is carefully curated and the selection is excellent. The inventory caters to guitarists and bassists, primarily, but they will occasionally have a drum kit or two in the store as well. I peaked at a high-end-Gretsch, a vintage Fender jazz bass, and a blackface Bassman amp they had kicking around. I might have walked out with an impulse purchase if I hadn't been so pressed for time. The whole place was clean and well organized - not often a feature common to music shops. They had a wonderful selection of 60s-70s music playing in-store. Both Andy and Mike seem to love what they do; there was none of the jadedness you often find in retail. I'd highly recommend them, and I also recommend checking out the owner's pet project, a recording studio called "Dirty White Couch."
