Korean Guitars - Where To Buy a Guitar In Seoul?

You've come to Seoul and you would like to bring a little souvenir for yourself? The mecca for musical instruments in Seoul is the Nakwon Arcade. The Nakwon Arcade is a huge complex featuring hundreds and hundreds of stores selling all kind of musical instruments. It is located in the popular tourist neighborhood of Insadong, in the city centre, north of the river. The closest subway station is Jongno 3-ga of line 1,3 and 5 (exit 5). If you're lost, just ask anybody around, they will know.

There are also some smaller shops in the student area of Hongdae. I know there is a flagship Swing guitars shop there. These shops are located towards the Hapjeong side of the neighborhood.

Now go get that Korean guitar!
