How to Try Out a Guitar in a Guitar Store

On this episode of the #GuitarStoreTour I’m in Mississippi and I’m trying out some guitars at Lakeland Music. There are certain things to look for in a guitar and methods you can use to ensure you identify all the things that make up a great instrument, and I’ll show you some tips on how to find them for yourself. Make sure to follow me on Twitter to see where the #GuitarStoreTour will stop next, and tune into my YouTube channel for new episodes every Wednesday. 50 States. 50 Guitar Stores. 50 Weeks.
