Guitar Store

Turn it Up!

Do these go to eleven?

Thanks for the props guys! Here is our shop website, have a look! www.gtrstr.com
More photos of the shop on my flickr too, thanks for this one Mr Glen!

Guitar store is gonna make some accountant's ears bleed.YEAH!!!

Very Cool!!! I'm surprised this was based on an 80's Channel-Switching Fender and not a classic 60's Black face, though.

It's awesome - they all go up to 11.

John Lennon's gum!

so good!! nice

Best shop front, ever: bonus, these go to eleven.

EDIT 13th February 2009: So, this picture has made it to the front page of Digg and Reddit so I thought I would add a little bit of extra information. The store is called The Guitar Store and it is on Commercial Road opposite Southampton Central railway station, Southampton, England.

OMG - this is one kick ass store front! For all of you that appreciate the Spinal Tap reference - I thought you may appreciate this little cross stitch ditty as well. :)

But this one goes to 11... by Stitch Out Loud

The only thing that would make this pict better would be {insert guitar hero's name} standing in front of this place, shredding on a guitar with a long cord the snakes around on the ground and goes under the door, or even better, is plugged in at the top.

Nice work!

Hi guys, here's an update for you: We've just opened our new Acoustic Store two doors down, with another amp front from a legendary amp manufacturer! What do you think?
