"Best Music Store"

“Most of the longhaired heavy metal dreamers wandering the streets of Hollywood have two choices when it comes to music stores. But opt for the low prices of, say, Guitar Center, and you wind up with salespeople that are rude at worst and clueless at best; find someplace with someone who knows something about what they sell, and you pay dearly for that knowledge. West L.A. Music usually has at least one person in the store who knows equipment and will eat their own profit margin—and more—to match someone else's advertised specials. And with its sales staff's low-pressure approach, you don't feel like you've been mugged.”
