Love that picture. I own a CF Martin, a Taylor and a Takamine. I purchased a photograph of Martins all lined up in a row in a music store. Your photo reminds me of that.

I have a friend of 40+ years that I play with. We both LOVE guitars. Lately he's been on a gypsy jazz kick - He's playing a Selmer and is now building his own D-hole instrument.... Makes for Happy Feet!
My Husband and I play in a contemporary praise band at our Church. My Husband plays lead guitar. Photography and guitars are my passion. So nothing is better than a great photograph of beautiful guitars.

Fun looking place...looks like a bit of everything and anything. I've played guitar for 40+ years myself, but alas, arthritis has robbed most of my dexterity...so now I'm a proud but slow strummer. Have a 1942 Gibson LG2, a Takamine F340, Fender F310 12 string and a Epiphone Les Paul Special II. All have served me well over the years. Enjoy your friend that plays with you...they're hard to come by as time marches on.
I'm impressed. If I went in there, I may never leave. You can never have to many guitars. I have been playing for about 30 years, a 1978 Yairi, made by K. Yairi himself, 2 Larrivee acoustics, a d60 traditional dreadnought, and a d19 custom shop tiger maple dreadnought. round it out with a Fender Strat "Roadhouse" model and 2 McNally strumsticks. My wife said "no more." Thank you for posting.
I could hang out in a place like that, all day. I used to play in a couple of bands, around here, but all my bandmates moved out of state.
I love guitars and have been playing since 1963, but like James56, arthritis and thumb surgery on both hands have robbed me of dexterity aa well as strength. I don't think I can even strum. Well, I can strum, but fingering the chords is a monumental task. I have an Alvarez Yairi, also made my Mr. Yairi, with his signature and a serial number. And I, too, played in a church worship band a number of years ago, but it was more on the C&W mode than contemporary. Yup, enjoy your time playing music with your friend while you can.
BTW, love the shot of the guitar shop.
The nice thing about being old is my 56 Strat, 63 Strat and my Fender Deluxe Reverb are all considered high on cool... Bought them new thy were costly then... price less now.
My acoustics are newer a Martin 00028 EC one piece rosewood back and an original Baby Taylor to travel with without taking a 357 to protect the historical.
