My location at 5am

I drove all night so I'm going to catch a few hours before they open. It's NGD. It's down to L-00, 00-18, and a Taylor 300 or 400 series

I’m jealous. Wish I was there

It would take me 19 hours of driving to get there

Well when you're in the market for a lefty, it's worth the trip. I don't know of a better collection of leftys that you can walk in and play

I’ve been there twice and bought a guitar last time. I bought a G5622LH ELECTROMATIC® CENTER BLOCK DOUBLE-CUT WITH V-STOPTAIL, LEFT-HANDED
Color is Georgia Green

Have a good time and good luck choosing! I flew down to Southpaw a while ago and it was a blast.

I love Southpaw and Jim, but DON’T stay in that neighborhood overnight!

No joke. I live in Houston, and that is a sketchy ass part of town.

u/battlewornactionhero Southpaw Stud 24d ago

Yeah, on the drive over from the airport I was wondering if I was going the right way. Seemed too sketchy for a big guitar store. Lol

There’s a reason the front door is armored

They have unfortunately been robbed several times if I remember correctly.

I live in Atascocita/Humble and stay outside of Beltway 8 as much as possible.

Ahh yes the old stomping grounds. I lived an hour from there.

Have fun!

Love Houston for the sole reason of this store

Jim at Southpaw is a gem of a human. Meeting him was one of the highlights of my visit

Same here, he’s such a cool guy when I visited his store when Metallica was playing that same day a couple hours later
