I live in myrtle beach, who is best online sales for a custom 24. I would like it setup with 9's for strings.
Thanks, Harry

Thanks, I can kick myself I lived in annapolis for 30 years!!Harry,
There are many if you google, some more reputable and willing to offer deals than others. The one most folks work with is for both new and used items is www.reverb.com
Will let others chime in with their personal experiences regards individual dealers...
For new items, Sweetwater.com is MAP priced (industry minimum pricing). There are smaller retailers online. Guitar Center is also a decent source for used deals. Google or Bing is your friend.

Reverb isn’t a dealer. They’re like eBay—a marketplace for others to buy and sell instruments. You never buy from Reverb, you buy through Reverb from people and businesses that sell there. If you see a guitar you like there from a dealer, it’s usually a better deal to negotiate directly with that dealer.
You’ll also notice that prices for new are set at MAP. That generally means you can negotiate.
Call dealers and talk with them. Find the combination of price, service, and availability that you like best.
Concur. Reverb is a great resource for viewing potential sales...contacting the seller and negotiating price is an option, especially if "Best Offer" is included in the listing.
I would add that it’s better to call the shop than use Reverb’s messaging system for cutting out the middle man. With private sellers I might want to keep Reverb in the middle depending on trust level, but with reputable shops calling them directly is always the better way to go. I’m guessing Etsy like eBay strongly objects to making deals outside of their service, but there’s nothing illegal or unethical about it. Reverb’s only interest is their profit margin, and they just priced themselves out of their own cut for a lot of folks
