I didn't have chance to go in, but Exile in Vancouver looked really great.

Lucky Star Guitars here in Lethbridge is basically two or three blues dad's vast personal selection of vintage gear for sale. I bought two guitars from them, and they are the first place I'd go to get a $1000+ guitar or bass.

One major downside is these guys don't have a website.

So, it's more like "blues granddads"?

What is wrong with blues?
Tom Waits have lots of blues inspiration.
And Tom Waits is cool.

There's a lot of blues roots in PJ Harvey's music.
PJ is cool too.

Thanks for the info.

I hadn't heard of that store before, I'll have to check it out on my next trip out of the burbs.

Hahaha
No, one co-owner has a preteen daughter, I know this because she came to the store and gave her dad a delicious smelling stew for supper; then they talked about banjos. This was the best experience I had window shopping.

This place is really tiny so you're not going to find a wide selection, but most of the stuff they have is pretty cool.
I also didn't get the reference until I passed by it like 10 times.

Avenue Guitars in Edmonton let me sit down and play whatever I wanted for a couple of hours when I was there, so I'm down with those guys. Had some nice stuff, too: http://www.avenue-guitars.com/

Spaceman Music in Ottawa is great and right next to Dave's Drum Shop, which is great.

There used to be so many good ones in Montreal and they all turned to shit. It's pretty sad.
