Off to Hong Kong - Any Shops Worth Visiting?

Any guitar shops I mean!

Thanks

I know of one at the top floor in Time Square Shopping Mall that I visit every time, which the location suggests…..it is not cheap.  Good Gibson selection but you are not going to buy anything from there.  It’s more a musical instrument store than guitar specific as they sell violins and grand pianos also.

Not been back in a few years, but when I was last there Tom Lee in Tsim Sha Tsui was pretty big and had a good stock but nothing special.  Didn't buy anything, it didn't seem worth it after you factor in potentially paying VAT/Import Duty and the faff of bringing it back and that was when it was over HK$12 to the pound.

I remember seeing pics of what looked like a silly expensive shop, looked more like a posh lounge with huge leather sofas and a couple of high end guitars on the wall.  Can't remember where it was or what it was called though...

Shops. In Hong Kong. Go on the pull. Nightlife is incredible.

There are a few Tom Lee shops dotted about - some bigger than others. Good selection. They dont mind you trying stuff. When I went the prices were more or less the same as in the UK. 

I saw a couple of smaller independent music shops too, but I cant for the life of me remember where they were.

Thanks - doesn't sound like I'll be buying much!

Go there for the food, not the guitars.
