Rockin Robin is cool as an "institution" - it was the perfect place to buy my first electric. Basically went in and said, "I have $1500 - I need a guitar, amp, cable, and stand. I have an old acoustic, i can read tab, play piano so know a little theory, promise I'll practice, and I like Tool and the Black Crowes - what should I do?" I fooled around with 6 or 8 guitars - Gibsons, Gibson knockoff, Teles, Strats, etc. Picked an HSS strat, a Boss Katana, some accessories and he rang it up to $1200. I said, I've got more money, what should I do something else? He said "practice". I thought that was cool.
Then I go in a few months later and see all the same used stuff that was there, still on the wall. Everyone there's cool, super nice, patient - but their inventory is SO weak - I'm not sure where they make their money.
