Must visit guitar stores in Europe

[spencer096]

Currently in Barcelona on the last day of a 10 day trip thru Europe. Wanted to know what the meccas of guitar stores are on the continent for my next trip? Classical places too other than sicca’s?

i only visited one…and HOOBOY was it a good one. Smallest city we visited too…in sete france. Store is called SoundSet and I highly, highly recommend.

owner is an awesome dude, and in some tiny French city got to test a 58 175, 60s byrdland, a 55 L-5, sonntag, and he had another solid 5-6 high end archtops just begging for a new home.

currency exchange is even right now and strongly considering a purchase.

Thomann, of course.
A large hall full of guitars. They also have a restaurant/cafe next to the logistic center on top of the hill.
You need a car to go there, it's in the middle of nowhere in Bavaria between Nurnberg and Wuerzburg.

Guitare Village outside of Paris is well worth a visit.
