Hi all
Heading to a conference in San Francisco in a few weeks, and hoping to have some time off to go ogle gear.
Any Bay Area people here have recommendations for the best places to check out?
Thanks
Neil

If you like old, funky, used, unusual, check out Real Guitars on Lafayette St. in S.F. Another nice used store is Broken Guitars on 40th St. in Oakland. And the Starving Musician on Shattuck in Berkeley often has some interesting used and consignment guitars, but sometime has bupkis. Bananas at Large on Second St. in San Rafael is a great store.
Bill, tgo
