@Ashadowtotheworld - well, I know well music stores around Monterey or Santa Cruz or San Francisco but any Guitar Center (it is the biggest chain stores in US) in LA or in the East Coast would have quite a few decent instruments and folks there are usually very friendly with giving directions where to find the right axe, You can look on the Internet what they (Guitar Center) carry but it is a good idea to give them a call first (they don't have all the stuff in the stores)
@Ashadowtotheworld But if you can recommend something in LA (or in Boston, Chicago and Ney York by any chance for that matter) then I would be happy to hear it. Or even if you run into something you think I absolutely should see around your area, please get in touch, for the right axe I may even divert my travels.
@Vlaqq Oh wow, that is very nice of you. Must be the southern hospitality I was taught about in American history classes :)
I should mention however I will be in LA and only there for 3 days, so not sure if I'll make that far up as nice as that offer is. And by then I would have travelled through 4 countries and 4 other American cities so who knows what state I will be in :D
@Ashadowtotheworld - very cool!!! i live in carmel valley near monterey (20 minutes drive) and it is about 120 miles from san francisco - if you have time and wish, please, stop by (better to get in touch by email vmylnikov@yahoo.com) and i can give you some ideas where to find a good instrument (i know the places around quite well)
@Vlaqq Wow. I am actually visiting California for the first time in April :D... hoping to see all the guitars there. Yea, its all very difficult to tell whats what with the Brian Moore website, apparently they dont even make that model anymore unless it is "to order" and the website is really uninformative... So unless I can find a second hand one then my chances of being able to afford an American one are slim. And yea I figured if I am travelling to the US then I WANT to buy an American guitar
@Ashadowtotheworld - same thing with the name but if you want to 'invest' in the instrument, then it is better to buy an american since you can sell it for a good price - well, at the same time, playability is very unique and you need to try it out - i fell in love with my guitar after three seconds and bought it with no thinking who made it - really it felt so comfi and pleasant
@Vlaqq -yes, i live in california - chinese brian moore a bit worse quality compare to korean ones and go here for 500US in fact, you can get a les paul (gibson not epiphone) for 600 US (studio) - well, i'm sure you can get a good guitar here - let me know if you need any help (just in case you never know) please, don't hesitate
@Ashadowtotheworld -sure, my friend, hope you will have good time here and you will find a nice instrument - happy to help if i can

@Vlaqq Ah ok, and would the American be called the same thing? Or does it have a different name? Thanks again.
