    Paging @noharleyyet

    My bride bought me a Martin and a Strat in the late 80's for Anniversary presents from McCarty's on Kemp St.  Family managed IIRC, nice people... spent a good bit of time there drooling.

    I grew near Wichita Falls and am back in the area dealing with elderly parents so I went to the only guitar shop still open in WF.  They used to carry a lot of great guitars.  Now, all bottom of the line PRS and Squires for electrics and Seagulls and lower Taylors.  They had one Princeton Tone Master for $1,100.  It appears they mostly cater to high school orchestras and bands.  

    In the late 70/early 80s, there was another shop called McCarty's.  It was fantastic.  In fact, Bill Welker who owns South Austin Music used to work there before he moved to Austin and bought that shop.  It closed a long time ago.  

    I drove to Ft. Worth, looking to play a J45 and some various electrics.  I refuse to step foot into a GC, so the best store I found was a Music Go Round.  I went to Zoo Music...holy fuck...what a warehouse of shit.   Not a price on anything.  No amps were plugged in. NOTHING has a price on it.  You had to go talk to the surly fucker to drag any information out of him.  I know these places have taken a beating from the on-line stuff and GC.  Makes me sad that the small shops don't exist any longer.  

    Do you mean Sam Gibbs? 

    Hayley's Music on North Kemp has a pretty good inventory & the manager is savvy...good luthier also. His personal guitar and amp collection is damned impressive.

    So I rearranged my little studio on the prairie after taking gear out to play live Friday night.  What sort of acoustic treatment might make this a better mic/acoustic recording space?  Foam on the sides, filling that window cutout, & ceiling?  Maybe a rug?  I’m probably going to upgrade my monitors at some point this year, and would like to get them up and separated a bit more.
