Music Merchant — Local services in Fort Bragg

Stopped by Music Merchant while walking downtown Fort Bragg and was AMAZED! I was drawn in by the displays of familiar tabletop games in the window (Warhammer, magic the gathering, dungeons and dragons, etc). I was expecting the store to be all music focused with the normal token representation that you normally see. But NO! They had all sorts of Warhammer!

I’d highly recommend any music lovers check out this store and spend some money here haha. It’s going to...

I love the Music Merchant. Brian Shefrin, the owner/operator of this fine establishment, is always welcoming. His friendly smile and quick wit always makes the shopping trip a delight, whether your just getting strings for your guitar, shopping for a nifty figurine, or looking to add to your card collection.
