I'm lucky -- in my area there are a plethora of choices. However, the place I frequent the most is this:



because: 1) it's less than a mile from my place, and 2) it has the largest selection of used instruments.

However, there is also a Guitar Center close by that I've taken to occasionally perusing (mostly to check on what's new) and across town a rather nice place called Guitar Showcase. If I want something a little more prosaic, I work a couple of miles from Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto. These, along with a decent market on the local Craigslist mean that I feel well-served.
