What's on the wall
“A visit should be on every steel guitarist's itinerary—and every fan of the steel guitar, be it pedal steel, non-pedal, dobro, electric slide, wood-bodied acoustic steel.”

“We had two vintage steel guitars that my husband inherited but would have been cost prohibitive to ship across country.”
“He has some interesting inventory, from dobros to conventional pedal steel guitars to beautiful Weisenborns, and all the tech stuff a person could need.”

From the reviews
Just bought my first steel from Jim, and couldn't be happier with the experience. He clearly has his customers' best interests prioritized, and will take all of the time necessary to get you into the right guitar for your abilities and budget. Very generous with his time and considerable expertise.
Jim is a pretty amazing resource for all things steel guitar. He took an hour out of his day to school me up on the considerations and the ins and outs of making an initial purchase. One thing is evident - He does this as a labor of love. There are no pushy sales tactics.
Jim is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable steel men around. He'll treat you right and you'll probably learn something new along the way. There aren't many steel guitar shops on the planet but we're certainly blessed to have Jim here representing. Great selection, great company and fair prices.

Lessons at Steel Guitars of North County
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Steel Guitars of North County. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
