Nice little discount code. http://www.elderly.com/share/coup10off313.html
Even good on used guitars, except for consignments.
A couple of nice new and used Taylors in stock right now.

Elderly is my local music store. I have been a customer of theirs since 1974 (they have gotten way too much of my money in the last 40 years). Their service and prices are hard to beat.

Does Chris work on the sales floor? Need to know where to look for him. They have MANY employees....most who work behind the scenes. According to their website, there are 4 Chris' that work there.

I called them the other day asking for an "in hand" description of the 2 baritone SLTDs they had in stock.
The guy was really nice and said someone would call me back....but they never called back.
They must be super busy or they sold both of the 320e SLTDs they had in stock....or they would have called me back right?!

Like any business, sometimes you have to do a little follow-up and take the initiative. I would call them back and explain. If it is on their webpage, they still have it. They are good at keeping that up to date.

Great resource to have in your backyard.  Closest I have is Mandolin Bros., about an hour away.

Years ago, I used to live in Michigan about 90 minutes away from Elderly.  Every time I head back east to visit family, I try to make a pilgrimage to the "holy land".  Last time I went up to the counter to buy something, and the fellow asked if I had a customer number.  I replied "xxxx".  He then asked for the other three digits.  He seemed shocked to meet someone with barely a four digit customer number.  So I have been at least on their mailing list since sometime in the late 70's.  Elderly is still my #1 go-to when mail ordering anything, from little items like strings or tuners up to Martin or Rainsong guitars.

there were a couple of pretty unique used pieces on there about
3 weeks ago, when the previous discount code expired on the 3rd -
nice to know they've renewed it

I've done a lot of business with Elderly, but I tend to shop around for the best prices. Free shipping is always a big plus. Lately, Sweetwater has has been my "go to" place for online gear orders. I call the same sales guy, and get very good service. He usually calls me a few days after I recieve my order, to make sure everything arrived, and I'm happy with it.

I have had only a few interactions with Elderly, but none were good.

I do not trust them at all. 

Elderly needs to learn and practice honesty and humility.

I respectfully disagree. I have been a customer there since 1974. Never had a bad experience. Your comments are the first I've heard of that have been that negative. And since I grew up and worked my career near Elderly, I know many customers and workers there.

I have had several transactions with Elderly and they have been very pleasant. Feel as though they have always been pretty good to me... I dunno...?

elderly had a 91, or 92(?) square shoulder redwood top 710, made in santee
that would have been a nice one, i think, as it looked well-played in
