Default Looking for widest selection of acoustics in Manhattan

I will be visiting a friend of mine in a few weeks. I will be in Manhattan for a few days. What is the best store to see a wide range of acoustics?

Thanks,
Stephane.

I was in the west village (Greenwich) a couple of weeks ago and waltzed right thru Matt Umanov on Bleeker St. My wife even tried to get me to play a few acoustics. I on the other hand was worried about finding pizza....

Best selection in Manhattan proper is Rudy's on 48th St. If you can get out to Staten Island Mandolin Bros is absolutetly worth checking out.

Matt Uminov and Manolin Brothers are a must. Don't miss 'em.

I've been in Rudy's about 10 times over the past 2 years and it's my favorite acoustic shop. One thing to know is that they sell a lot of high end guitars including Froggy Bottom, Collins and Huss & Dalton.

No question, if you can get out to Staten Island, it's Mandolin Bros. all the way.
