Default Archtops in kansas city

Going to Kansas City next week, I'm wondering if there are any noteworthy music stores there, preferably one with lots of archtops (Eastman, Hofner, Peerless, etc.).

Don't know about music stores - never been there. But Jim Triggs has his home and workshop in Lawrence west of KC, if you want him to build you a good archtop.

Lawrence is a bit of a driver from KC. But it isn't too bad.

Midwestern Muiscal Co. can sometimes have some great stuff including archtops. Guitar Syndicate has a couple on the wall (all new).

I've not found a really good archtop store in KC. The music store scene changed from supporting jazz guitarists to supporting mid-life-crisis beetle-surfer-bands. I wish I was kidding.
