I didn't realize there existed a guitar shop where you could have access to so many vintage instruments all in one go. Such a place is The Guitar Center on Sunset. On its front you can find the famous Rock Walk (next chapter...). On the inside, in the vintage room, you are confronted by a wall of guitars dating back to.. never mind. The price tags are very steep but i'm sure negotiation is commonplace. Even so.. (give the file a little time to load as it's a large one).

Tanya then showed me around to some of the most historical venues on the Strip. Here you can see her in front of the Roxy Theater and then the legendary Whisky A Go-Go. I believe The Whisky is the place where the concept of a group of female dancers dislocated individually around the room (and inside of a 'cage') during a performance was invented, but i may be wrong. In any case the vibe is huge! (check out the acts on the plaque). More to follow...

Such a cool room...

you have to walk through the acoustic room to get into the vintage room, when you walk into the first room it's temp & humidity controlled and the whole vibe of the store changes...pretty cool..
