Brook Mays? Yeah, they have a couple of stores here...I bought my '77 Guild D-45 acoustic from them in early '78 with my income tax return. They have a store on the North side that is as good as any Guitar Center I've ever seen. The only unfortunate point I must make is that their salesmen are jerks...it's that way just about everywhere except for Guitar Center here. The guys at Guitar Center are courteous and helpful, alert and happy to hang out and listen and offer advice...but only if asked. It's the other way around at the other stores. I have walked out of a lot of stores with big money still in my pocket because of the salesman's attitude. I bought the Guild there in '78 because I wanted the guitar. The salesman treated me like dirt. I made him work. He had to let me test 24 guitars before I decided on that one. When I paid the $800 for it (in 1978 dollars), he did not thank me and he tossed the receipt in my direction and walked away to the back room to get high again or something...Brook Mays has competitive prices; in some cases the best, but you have to put up with their crap when you walk in. My 2 cents! Cheers, WC1
