Edinburgh Guitar shops

Red Dog is pretty good, Guitar Guitar is a bit further out of the way. Those are the main ones I visit when I'm in Edinburgh.

Glasgow though generally has a better selection of second hand gear. Strung Out Guitars is always worth a look and I don't think that there is a shop in Edinburgh that will come close to the equivalent to that in Glasgow. There is Varsity Music and Live Music in Edinburgh, but I can't say I ever made a real effort of visiting them when I was through in Edinburgh. Not for bass gear anyway.

In Aberdeen I would also recommend Ram Jam music, which always has a decent selection of second hand gear. I bought a Les Paul from there in June.

Take a walk up Nicholson Street, Scayles and it's sister shop Live Music are up there. Head down towards Leith and there's Rikki's on the left hand side.

Duncanson & Edwards is the big pawn shop on Queens Street.

Is Rikki's still there? Thought it was long gone? I bought my first guitar there many moons ago.

Duncanson Edwards rarely has anything bass-like beyond Westfields and the like. The odd fender every now and again.

Live music is the interesting one. As suggested can be expensive but they are willing to haggle. And you can pop in to Scayles whilst you are near by.

Guitar guitar for a bigger selection of big brands but tends to be quite conservative. Loads of p's, j's and lookylikeys.
