Not sure I understand some of the poor reviews on this one. Yes, it's a chain, but so what if they have what you need.
I purchased my Fender guitar here a couple years ago after literally just walking into the store with nothing in mind. The gentleman who helped me - I wish I could remember his name - was super helpful and patient and helped me try on and play as many guitars as I wanted before I found the one I was comfortable with. It was an easy process, far easier than I expected. I've also been prematurely judged some places for being tall and blonde (yep; that's a real thing), but never here. They treat me like a musician.
I still pop in here from time to time to buy strings, guitar picks or other accessories. For the most part, they always have everything I need. I've also joined friends in here looking for harmonicas, songbooks, and other random musical things. I have yet to have a reason not to come back.
