To my surprise, their featured guitars on special display were Guilds! Several Oxnards, some Newark St., etc. They had an F-512, An F-55, an F-55ME, but no D-55 to my disappointment. They had one in the display but someone bought it.
The little gem I found was in the used rack - 2005 Tacoma-made D-50 Bluegrass Special; it fairly lit up the room when I played it. It was a beauty, too, really nice rosewood. $1,485 w/hsc, which is right about what it sold for new.
Played a nice looking Collings Herringbone Dread, boy I've got good taste apparently - $5,995 yikes! :ambivalence: They just have it hanging there with a couple hundred other "good" guitars, you can just take them down and play them. Pretty laid back as opposed to many other stores, but you might say Elderly caters to people who tend to be more "careful."
I don't usually play many in there because I'm more looking than buying most of the time. It's fun just to look at all of them; there were about a dozen Collings, about 40-50 Martins, Taylors, Gibsons, Guilds, Huss & Dalton, and a bunch of vintage high-end stuff hanging on the back wall.
