I was just floored to be driving down Keller Parkway and see a sign that advertised Fender guitars! When I went in, the place was just jammed with grade A (plus) gear. High end Guilds, Santa Cruz, Breedlove, and plenty of Fender electrics. There were Gretsch guitars and Eastwoods too.

Fender Amps were very well represented. I also spotted Orange, Retro King, Germino, and even a Two-Rock head.

The new owner of this location is Chad Clifford. He has been the guitar tech for Miranda Lambert and Charlie Sexton, to name a few. I saw Charlie on tour and I swear he changed guitars on every song. That must have been a busy gig for Chad.

Right now, the sign says West End Guitars, but Chad will be changing the Name to Wick's Guitar Shop soon. If you are local, you gotta take a look!

830 Keller Pkwy # A
Keller, TX 76248-2400

In the words of Steve the Monkey from "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs"--

"EXCITED! EXCITED!"

It's about time somebody filled the gap in the high-end instrument market on the west side of the Metroplex.

Here is a landing page that shows some of the gear I saw:

The first strat shown is a vintage 1964. The second strat is a Custom Shop Master Built.

There is a Jackson amp shown in the second amp picture. They are made a few miles down the road. Check out some of the demos at their site:

I am just so stoked to have such a great shop in the neighborhood!

Dang, I lived in Keller in '08. It's a bit far for me now, but I'll check it out when heading out west!
