Members cloudnine Posted February 17, 2006 Members Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hey dude -Check out Long and Mcquade (3 of them in the Toronto area), Songbird Music, the 12th Fret, and Steve's if you can handle a bunch of homeless kids bashing out on the guitars.

Members heavymetalpiers Posted February 17, 2006 Members Share Posted February 17, 2006 yha check out steves music store its at 415 queen street west they have a decent selection of amps and guitars, better than long and mcquades in my opinion and i also like the people there much better. later Piers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Borat Sagdiyev Posted February 17, 2006 Members Share Posted February 17, 2006 Come to Long & McQuade at Steeles and Keele on Saturday... I'll let you play the expensive guitars and stacks hehe. We've got a pretty custom shop Gibson SG double neck... 4 LP Supremes.. ummm a couple Soldano heads.. Plenty of fun stuff. I don't reccomend Steve's, I don't like the employees or their stock very much. When I used to go in there, they would make me feel very uncomfortable. +1 to Songbird though, they have awesome stuff.

Members Tone Bone Posted February 17, 2006 Members Share Posted February 17, 2006 I say check out Steve's (I've always had good service there - ask for Peter in the guitar department), and Songbird has some cool used stuff sometimes (they carry Bogner believe it or not - I think they're the only dealer in Canada).

Members M_E_A_T_B_A_L_L Posted February 18, 2006 Members Share Posted February 18, 2006 I visited 12th fret when I was in Toronto over the christmas holidays, the people there were the nicest people I've ever met, very professional. Makes the music store owners in my town seem like a bunch of slobs They have some nice vintage gear there too I also ventured into Steve's music and it was pure noise/chaos.

Members canucker1981 Posted February 18, 2006 Members Share Posted February 18, 2006 By miles Capsule Music the best shop in town for vintage amps and guitars. Id work there for free. For new high end acoustics go to 12th Fret. For pedals go to Songbird. For mass produced amps and guitars go to Long and McQuade or Steves. If you're looking for a crap shoot go to Encore Music Exchange(used, consigned). I nabbed some cool gear there. 40$ for a mint in the box Boss FA-1. Sold it for 250$ American Oh and just ignore the sales people, you probably know more than they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
