Had the chance to stop in for a personal tour of Acoustic Vibes Music yesterday morning. Owner Jeff Looker has a fine storefront; business has been so good, he's having to expand display space 50% into a third room, so we had to dodge saws and slatwall to see some of this amazing collection of instruments. March was indeed, a record-breaking month.(Makes one wonder what the fledgling two-year old business would be able to do in a good economy!)

High end boutique instruments, guitars, banjos, and mandolins (now ukes!) are this architectural company owner's specialty. Collings, Bourgeois, Baden, Weber, Breedlove, OME, Santa Cruz, Phoenix, all are examples of the world's best acoustic products adorning his interior. Interestingly, this last two months have offered him a huge influx of used instruments in trade; he was in the process of photographing the latest catches. Always worth a few minutes to browse his website and click on the "candy" there.

We were captivated by a few Weber specialties, a custom Gallatin, and this beautiful F-body OM

The storefront is only 15 minutes away from Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, Arizona.

We didn't want to leave.
