I would put John at Shoreline on the top of my list also even though I've not bought a guitar from him yet (but purchased headphones, turntable, pickups, apparel, etc.). I've had good experience with Sweetwater too. They keep up good stock and my sales rep there (Ian Angle) is pretty up to speed. Their return policy and customer service has been excellent as I bought a couple of expensive Taylors without the ability to play them first and Ian set me up where I had up to two weeks to demo the guitar and if I was not happy, they would pick it up on their coin.
