I can't remember their names, but two guys, one in particular (I'll post his name here when I remember), helped me pick out an acoustic guitar. I'm a beginner so I had a bunch of questions and he took the time to answer all of them, didn't pressure me at all, made suggestions, let me sit for a while and play a couple guitars. I ended up coming back a few days later and buying one of them. Very happy with my purchase so far.
I also went to Mississippi Music and Guitar Center. Lakeland is probably the smallest of those in terms of square footage and size of inventory, but it seemed like they had a better selection of quality instruments. I think they might be more careful about what they stock and only offer products above a certain quality. Not that it's expensive. I got a really nice Ibanez acoustic parlor guitar for $170. read more
