Guitar shops in Amsterdam/Haarlem ??

[Pete Spaldin @ work]

I'm off to Amsterdam to stay with a mate this weekend coming. There will be
three of us, and its a lads weekend through and through. We have been
promised "Gentleman's Entertainment" too. I'll be taking my digital camera,
so there may be some pix posted next week.

Anyway, I reckon that after Friday night, there won't be much doing Saturday
morning, and I thought I'd have a browse around some local music shops, see
if I can pick a bargain.

Anyone know any ? My mate is not musically minded, and has no idea if there
are any ... any help would be appreciated.

PS > His house is actually in Haarlem, so that would probably be a better
bet ( I will be on foot).

Not much in Haarlem, I'm afraid:

Alphenaar Bladmuziek Muziekinstrumenten, Kruisweg 45
(but these don't look like you can spend half a day there)

Have fun!

Wow thanks Antal, that certainly is a comprehensive list. Checking out the
links, Dirk Witte looks an excellent establishment. Even Music Maniacs in
Haarlem looks a lot better than a few of the "local" shops round my way.

Thanks

Pete
