I haven’t been there but I’ve looked at their web site a lot:
https://pennylaneemporium.com/ OOPS, never mind I thought they were in Tamp for some crazy reason.

Jimmy’s Vintage Music in Auburndale, FL
I am from Michigan and was visiting family in Haines City, and came across this gem of a store. Pretty sure all the instruments are used. A really nice selection of vintage amps, flattops and electronics. It’s pretty much just crammed in there and it’s a small space so you’ll need to prep yourself for that. Also, as with all vintage and used gear you kind of need to know what you’re looking at as far as originality, condition, market pricing. It was a fun store to look around at the owner was cool and likes to talk guitars. I do not think they do any repair or setup work but I could be wrong about that. To recap: small, packed with used gear, some of which was impressive, some not, great amps, cool owner, fun to look around. Jay

Big box stores dominate the area. I don't know of any central Florida small shops that would be worth checking out. Enjoy the sunshine!

We have a time share in Treasure Island. I have discovered a small shop in St.Pete called St.Pete Guitars.
It's a small shop and the people I have encountered there have all been great. Each time I have been there, there has been a steady stream of people wanting service on their instruments.

Replay Guitar Exchange in Tampa is the best one I've been to in your area.
https://www.replayguitar.com/ If you venture over into Orlando and visit Guitar Center on Orange Blossom Trail, make sure your tetanus shot is up to date before playing anything...

Seven C Music in St. Petersburg gets good reviews. They are dealers for several good brands, and are an authorized Martin warranty shop. They are a father and son business, both with long careers in the acoustic guitar business. Their website tells the story.
I've been in the store a couple of times, and gotten excellent customer service and a fair price on a very minor repair.

I was in this area from 2014 to 2018, and I had given up on a shop like this being in the area. Then I saw your post. I guess they opened in 2019. I moved back to the area (for the winter months) in 2022. It was a pleasure today spending a couple of hours there. I'll definitely be in the market for another guitar in the next year or so, and I may well end up purchasing it at this shop. Wonderful selection of Lowden, Santa Cruz, a nice Huss & Dalton, and a very nice Bedell.

Another nod for 7 C Music in St. Pete, a fifteen-twenty minute drive south from Tampa. I was there last weekend. Buy a cup of coffee from their in-house coffee shop, and spend some time ogling and playing guitars. It's an old converted quonset hut, and the back opens to an outdoor seating area. They also have a stage for when they host concerts.
The area they are in is rapidly becoming an avant-garde neighborhood, so you can grab a bite simply by walking across the back field.
