So, I'm probably going to need to buy a heap of gear (guitar, amp etc) when I get to the US... Anyone got any hot tips on where to go for cheap buys?

In gainesville? I dont even think there is a single music store in all of gville.

Tim & Terry's is the only one I know of.

I think they've got a section of instruments and stuff at Best buy.

oh, wait, you don't really need to get stuff in Gainesville, right? Just in the US in general.

where are you flying into? that makes a big difference.

You could always make an order through www.musiciansfriend.com or something like that and have it shipped to gainesville.

There's also a place off of 34th and university but I dont know what it's called at the moment. I'll edit this later with the name of it.

I believe Tim and Terry's will be closed by then. There is Lipham's on W University and 34th St. They are really the only ones that carry much of anything these day but that isn't saying a lot. There are also a ton of pawn shops where you can find decent instruments for far cheaper. If you have anything you need specifically in mind I will keep an eye out.

Just do it the good old American way and low-ball people on Craigslist
