I dont know probably I dont think a guitar shop would exactly like Musicians friend because the store would lose profits so it would only make sense

First I check Craigslist for used stuff, if that comes up empty I check the mom and pop music store, if that comes up empty I go to Guitar Center.

Musicians Friend parent company is Guitar Center

Musician's Friend was founded in 1983 by Robert and Deanna Eastman, eventually relocating its headquarters from San Diego to a dairy barn in Southern Oregon. Rob was then joined by brother-in-law Al Dinardi, and the company grew rapidly to become a prominent direct marketer of music gear. The company offers a 45 day money-back guarantee on most merchandise.
Along with the rock oriented catalog, the company publishes two speciality catalogs and websites for niche markets. Giardinelli specializes in band and orchestra instruments while LMI Music provides a mix of educational products.
In 2005 Musician's Friend purchased the popular musician community website Harmony Central. Harmony Central provides free articles, reviews written by musicians, and discussion forums. Music industry author Craig Anderton is the Editor-in-Chief.
Musician's Friend is based in Medford, Oregon, with a 700,000 sq foot distribution center in Kansas City, Missouri, and a call center in Draper, Utah.
Musician's Friend was purchased for $50 million by Guitar Center in 1999 and is a wholly owned, independent subsidiary. Robert Eastman remains as CEO and serves on the Guitar Center Board of Directors. Musician's Friend has increased in sales to over $350 million in the past 7 years.
In February of 2007, Musician's Friend purchased the Indiana based company Woodwind & Brasswind (WWBW), including its sister company Music123.

I didn't know it was Musician's Friend that bought WWBW. I've been by their big showplace in South Bend. Unfortunately it was always closed when I was visiting town.

It really depends on what I'm shopping for. I've had good look with M/F for accessories. For Masterbuilt guitars, I've ordered online through The Music Zoo and JH Guitars. For just cool used guitars with mojo, Charlies Guitar Shop in Dallas. I've also bought most of my amps from them too.

I cannot say enough good things about Charlies. In the Dallas local music scene they are legendary. Plus, the owners took me to NAMM last year so I'm obligated :P

There's this Jazz club in downtown Seattle, I go there a couple of nights a week, the owner and i are good buds, and he lets me into the back where he's got a bunch of old guitars and stuff that he's picked up from passing acts.
So i might buy one from him sooner or later.
