Music stores mid-south Va through northern NC

[mee]

I am planning a trip to Lowe Vintage music store in Burlington NC and wondered if any others that would carry good mandolins around that area or north through central Va?

Harry and Jeannie West in Statesville had a few vintage Gibsons last time I was in. They also have a full lineup of Kentuckys and Eastmans. Assuming you're coming in on I-77, they'd be about six minutes out of your way.

And not mandolin related, but if you're going to be in Butlington, you'd be silly not to get to Daily Donuts in Graham. Best donuts I've ever eaten.

Hi Mee

Griffin's Guitars in Salsbury had a couple of older Gibsons the last time I was there (around Thanksgiving 2017). I know that Jackson's Music in Winston-Salem usually has an Eastman or two. Don's Music Land in Greensboro (the last time I was there, anyway) had the owner's "private / not for sale" collection of vintage Gibsons along with a few Kentuckys.

I've been to Lowe Vintage...they've got some nice ones for sure.

Let us know what your price range is...I'm sure that there's others here that can help if they know what direction to point you in.
