Answer 1

You can get new guitars at Reynolds, it's at the bottom of Brigade Rd (where it's cut by Richmond Rd and continues as Hosur Rd). Reynolds is kind of opposite All Saints Bakery and Vellara Junction. They are a music shop and also make guitars. I think they have a board up where people may advertise used guitars for sale.

There's also a place near the Ashoka Pillar in Jayanagar (sorry that's a bit vague but that's all I know!) where you can get Chinese-made Yamaha guitars that are supposed to be good.

Other places to try for used guitars .. Free Ads or any of the yellow tabloids (the types guys sell at traffic lights!) will let you post an ad free so why not try that. It's easy and useful (and free!)

You can also check out a website called www.freecycle.org and join the Bangalore page - here you can post a message stating that you want an acoustic guitar, and if anyone has one to give away, you can get it through them.

On Miller's Road, I've seen a sign "Lewis and  Sons" they are an old-time business and they repair and tune musical instruments and they might have a good idea where to get used instruments, maybe even have some. It's a bit after the Eid-gah and Nandidurg Rd, close to that funny little road that goes up to Benson Cross Rd.

Good luck and hope your son has fun! It's lovely that you are encouraging him to play.. these days kids are so focused on studies and marks and ranks .. and things like music, art, sport tend to be neglected .. yet in the long run, it is these things that help us adults keep our sanity!

I don't know any place local to you.  But I know of a few sites that ship internationally, and have good prices.  You'll have to check them out.
