Hey Guys,
My Wife and I will be in Chicago for a few days and I would like to know if there are any Must See guitar shops in town. I am interested in trashy used/vintage stuff: Teisco/Kay/Danelectro and the like. I may only get to one, so can anyone make a suggestion?
Thanks!!

Chicago Guitar shops?

Hey slotrod65.
To me, the must see guitar shop in Chicago is the Chicago Music Exchange. However, you will not find trashy stuff there only high end stuff likely beyond your budget. Still, it is fun to look.
You can get there using the L train system but the shop is on a local line that is slow so budget enough time for the trip.
Here is a link to the shop.
The kind of place you are looking for probably doesn't exist in Chicago proper. With high rents, it is difficult to make enough profit to stay in business when you sell guitars for under $1,000.
Hopefully a Chicago native will stop by the forum and give you a lead.
