Default Guitar places in/around Charlotte, NC?

I'm going to be in Charlotte for a week with several free days. Any recommendations on good places to check out guitars? Thanks!

I had fun at Sam Ash. Great acoustic room last time I was there.

Midwood Guitar Studio on Central Ave carries Collings and others. Supposed to be a great shop but I haven't been there.

I'll second that. Robinson is the best and Midwood is a must visit!

Midwood in Charlotte is a good place to visit. Also if you have a few free days and don't mind a drive, Dream Guitars is only a two hour drive to Asheville from Charlotte.

Robinson used to be the acoustic guy at SoundPure in Durham, NC before heading over to Charlotte. As said, a great guy. And from what I've seen of their inventory online, it should be a great shop. If I were still in the guitar acquisition stage of life, I suspect I'd be there with some regularity.

Thanks for your kind words, my friend! Definitely stop by, Fuman! We’d love to show you around. Also, the whole Midwood neighborhood has great eateries and funky vibes.

I'll second (or third) the Midwood recommendation, very cool shop. Also, Craig Landau has his luthier/repair shop in their shop. Craig is THE finest luthier I have ever worked with and he has worked on my guitars for 2+ decades.

Yup...go to Midwood. Maybe they will have a Pre-War in stock and it will change your life...
