Title: Any good guitar shops in Portland, Oregon?
Post by: DennisG on April 03, 2018, 04:09:46 PM: Every time I visit a new city, I take a look at the local guitar shops. Last year, on a trip to Portland, I visited two of them, although I can't remember the names. They were very mediocre, with mostly low-end brands and price points.

I'm going to Portland again in a week, so I'd love to know if there are any good shops I should know about? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

The location on Broadway is where they have the "Top Shelf" acoustics!

So you must have gone to the old store location that just closed on May 1?

I guess so. I wasn't aware that they were preparing for a move, since I saw no signs of it. Where is their new location?
