There's something intensely attractive—as a musician—about a store that using gels in their display window to keep their guitars from getting sun-damaged. It's that attention to little but important details that has made Matt Umanov Guitars a favorite of local musicians and a Bleecker Street mainstay. The guitars run the gamut from vintage to brand new, and their huge selection of pedals is made ten times better by the amp room available to test drive whatever you've got your eye on. Better yet, the salesmen know what they're talking about and won't hesitate to tell you what you need instead of what you want.
