The Gear Trader

As far as the gear they had it all made me drool when I would go in there, I am pissed my 1972 Les Paul gold top was stolen from me and ended up in there store, I found out that it was there and went in Brian the owner told me he would get it back for me, Asked me if I had reported it stolen and I said not yet, he asked me to not report it stolen and he would get it back for me, so as time went on he scammed me. told me that he got the report back and it was not on the stolen list and he sold it out from under me. I was and still devastated by this, If any readers bought a 1972 Gold Top Les Paul deluxe from his store six years ago I can prove my guitar is mine I got it when I was 13 years old in 1978, I hope no one else has gotten treated this way by Brian like I have. There is a reason they where forced out of business, Brian and his dirty deals

More for the man who has the snaps to spend on used gear. It’s great for certain effects and amplifiers. I was happy with an amplifier that I bought there. It was very expensive, but rare and when I had problems with it, they checked the bias with no questions asked and fixed. Make sure you keep your receipt because they do come through with most of their stuff.
I bought a bass guitar there once and it had a spongy neck. The guys there are cool, but they need to pay more attention to what they sell (because the last thing you want is for the customer to be wrong). I do recommend it and I do pop in once every blue moon, but I usually just look for stuff on craig list now a days.

They have a good, but very small selection of electric guitars. Most small mom and pop music stores sell cheap, and obscure brands of guitars, but they carry gibsons and fenders, which make them a nice alternative to giants like sam ash and guitar center.
Still the selection is pretty small. The tagged prices on the gear was reasonable. The guy working there looked pretty bored, and wasn’t very helpful.
Definitely worth checking out though.

Indeed this place has a lot of nice gear, along with an amp room that you can plug in and play at. They have badcat’s, it’s a gibson shop, so not much in the fenders which i was looking to buy.

This shop is great, it’s little and tucked away into a shopping center, you might miss it if you aren’t looking for it, but it’s amazing… they have tons of Bad Cat amps, and even had the only Fender offset I seen in all LA/​OC… (a white jaguar… I already have one).
The have a really cool selection of vintage pedals from the 80’s for rock bottom, I should have bought one!
The shop owner was very cool too, stop by, they’ll work with you.
