Back in May I noted that Lamorinda Music in Lafayette was expanding and that a high-end guitar shop was going to open up within as well. The shop, owned by The Waybacks former guitarist and singer Stevie Coyle is called Might Fine Guitars. From their Facebook page:
An acoustic guitar boutique featuring absolutely top-shelf luthiers. A limited number of lessons is available, as well. Concerts and workshops by local and touring pros.
The shop is accessible both directly from outside as well as within Lamorinda Music, and performances will be held in “The Big Room” right outside (also within Lamorinda Music). Last Saturday, the Irish musician legend Andy Irvine performed.
Check out the inside of the store with owner Stevie Coyle:
Notice that one of the instruments in the photo above being sold is a mandolin, although the focus are high-end acoustic guitars.
Check out some of acoustic guitars for sale below:
The one at bottom right is particularly interesting as the sound hole is offset to the left. Although I’m not a guitar expert by any means, the quality of these instruments is readily apparent. And the owner has a great sense of humor! For example, they note that their phone number is YAK.ANT.TACO 🙂
Mighty Fine Guitars plans on having a “coffee Klatch” the first Sunday of every month, and owner Stevie Coyle offers private lessons with fingerstyle being a specialty, and beginners are welcome. They are located at 85 Lafayette Circle in Lafayette.
