Music World and Drummer’s Den, located just across from Indian Hills Golf Course, has expanded over the years; when the shop first opened its doors in the building on Church Street in 2004, it occupied only half of the building. But since then, Music World owner Dave Kiviniemi decided to take over the entire building, increasing his floor space to 5,000 square feet. The latest development for the business is a guitar room built specifically for higher-end instruments.

Here, particular care is paid to humidity, temperature and, of course, to the fine instruments themselves, while wall-width waterfall art provides atmosphere, as do spotlights that cascade down on a few of the select instruments.

The primary residents of this guitar room are acoustic Taylors and electric Paul Reed Smiths (in the $2,000-$5,000 sticker range). These are not beginner guitars; it’s the store’s best of the best, suitable for the touring professional virtuoso.

However, Music World customers will soon have a more affordable model available from Paul Reed Smith, Kiviniemi said, having just returned from last month’s National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show in Anaheim, Calif.

“PRS has a new line coming out, still very slick, but it’s a very nice, American made guitar for under $1,500, for about half the price of the real high-end stuff,” he said.
