I've had nothing but good experiences with Emile Baran. Billy has been helpful to me on more than one occasion in the past. Bottom line: you have to know what you're buying, what it's worth and what you're willing to pay BEFORE you walk into ANY store with the intention to buy an instrument. Don't take for granted that the staff will know the exact details of an instrument. Mistakes are made, some of which the buyer is responsible for. The prices there are high on some things, low on some things, and competitive on others. Shop wisely.
