Guitar stores around the world

Whenever we travel, I like to checkout guitar shops. We are currently in Porto, Portugal, and stopped into Casa da Guitarra. Aside from some really interesting stringed instruments, they have a display for how they build mandolins. They also have performances in the evening with Fado music that we hope to attend.

Hi Mark. Like you, I enjoy searching out guitar shops when travelling. We are currently in Lucca, Italy and I’ve found this great shop.
Unfortunately a guitar won’t fit into my budget airline luggage allowance. :grin:

NIce, I do like seeing the traditional versions of the different stringed instruments.

That looks really interesting, Mark! I wonder, how those variously stringed “guitars” might sound like. :smiley:

Hope you will make it to one of their performances!

As you and Gordon, I also like to check in guitar and music stores in general, when I come across one. Hardest part is - always - getting out without buying a new instrument. :sweat_smile:
