26 October, 2006 McCabe's Guitar Shop

The beautiful McCabe's logo®

The largest selection of stringed things
to make music with in California.

We have rentals for the cautious, lessons for the eager,
truth-telling for the fearful, repairs for the clumsy,
concerts for the devoted, and free coffee for all.

   McCabe's is a musical instrument store in Santa Monica, California, opened in 1958. We specialize in acoustic and folk instruments: guitars, banjos, mandolins, dulcimers (both hammered and plucked), fiddles, psaltries, bouzoukis, sitars, ouds, ethnic percussion ... you get the idea. Also electrics and amps.    All significant brands usually in stock. We sell, fix and teach, and have all the stuff that anyone would need to go with, including thousands of books and recordings. It's a nice, comfortable place to visit and try things out. Come by if you're in the area -- browsers and itinerant musicians welcome.
