Electric Guitars
Beware. Some of these electric guitar luthiers have custom designs that you may not be used to, and could totally freak you out!
If you're looking to buy something more standard like a Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul or Fender Telecaster, then we recommend shopping at Zzounds. You won't have to pay tax if you don't live in New Jersey, and shipping is free. Tunnelvision is another great online guitar store offering a few more boutique guitar brands. With Tunnelvision, you won't have to pay tax as long as you don't live in Utah.
