<p>Is there somewhere around Cal to buy a cheapo acoustic guitar? I dont really want to bring my $600 Carvin electric…</p>
<p>buy one where you live before you leave. then again you can buy a “cheapo guitar” anywhere. </p>
<p>but i’d like to know good guitar shops around berkeley anyways for my random GAS attacks throughout the semester.</p>
<p>There’s a guitar center in El Cerrito Del Norte…that’s where I bought mine…just two BART stops (towards Richmond) from the Berkeley station</p>
<p>a few suggestions:</p>
<p>Music Works in el cerrito (just down the road a bit from guitar center). owned by a CAL graduate. We’ve had good service there. <a href=“http://www.ecmusicworks.com/[/url]”>http://www.ecmusicworks.com/</a></p>
<p>The Fifth String. Have been in Berkeley forever. Not cheap, but beautiful instruments <a href=“http://www.thefifthstring.com/[/url]”>http://www.thefifthstring.com/</a></p>
<p>Subway Guitars <a href=“http://www.fatdawg.com/[/url]”>http://www.fatdawg.com/</a>. Had a bad experience with repairs. They are very funky.</p>
<p>Blue Note Music on Telegraph Avenue. I’ve found them to be a bit snooty.</p>
<p>Flashback Guitars on College Avenue in Oakland. Small store. Nice owners.</p>
<p>Interesting and good to know. Thanks slimlic2001 and avoidingwork.</p>
