i know theres a massive new york possee on here, and i should be visiting new york myself next week.

i was wondering if i could get some tips of cool guitar shops to go and check out.

on my shopping list this trip is:

    * original floyd rose
    * mi audio crunchbox
    * bkps[/list:u]

    so upgrades rather than guitars, although it would be nice to drool at some quality axes ;) where are the places to go? i'll be staying close to where the world trade center was...

    thanks!

Why are BKPs on that list? Won't it be more expensive than it is here? Or is it cheaper due to exchange rates? If it is, I'll be so pissed off! :x

I think you'll want Rudy's Music on East 38th for the Crunch Box.  I'm pretty sure that's where my mate got mine from recently.

BKs cost the same here as in the UK.

I've never purchased an OFR from a shop in NYC, always mail ordered mine.

Dunno about the MI, but two shops you should definitely visit are Rudy's Music (which is pretentious and lame but at least you can say you've been there) and 30th St Music (far superior).

More importantly -- can you meet up for a pint???

Cool!

Well, jet-lag and your personal schedule permitting, Tues night is usually good for me. I work until 7PM on Tuesday, usually. You may be dead man walking by 7PM NY time, tho!

On Wed night my band has rehearsal and you are more than welcome to come to the studio and observe if you like.

Thursday is usually no good for me. (That's bonding night for me and my son)

Friday evening is cool.

I have found jetlag to be ok going to the USA-coming back is the tough one but in any event, have a great time. I may be going myself soon but it is all a bit hush hush.

Teilight are you in New York then? I don't know why but I always thought you lived in somewhere just outside London for some reason!
