In addition to 48th st in Manhattan, any issue of "Guitar Player" Mag has
ads for several parts houses who do mail-order business.  So do Sam Ash
& Manny's on 48th.  There are lots of other stores on 48th st, too, many
with unique and interesting items.... such as the one right across from
the above two, a hugh storefront that sells & repairs used instruments,
including many vintage instruments.

Also in Manhattan, there's Matt Umanov's (sp?) in the Village, and
Eddie Bell's in the 20's does good repair work.  One of the best
places in the world for vintage steel-string acoustics, banjos, mandolins,
dobros, etc., is Mandolin Brothers in Staten Island.

Finally, at any of these places you can have your purchase shipped out
of state, and thus avoid the sales tax;  however, the shipping cost
will probably come to as much as the tax you save.
