Guitar shops worth the trip in Rehoboth Beach

Southern Delaware's Cape Region — the Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, and Milton corridor in Sussex County — is a summer-resort stretch better known for boardwalks than backline, which makes a dedicated used-and-vintage guitar shop tucked a mile off Route 1 a genuine find.

Frantic Frets is a genuine mom-and-pop brick-and-mortar shop a mile west of Route 1 in Milton that buys, sells, trades, and consigns used and vintage acoustic and electric guitars, basses, amps, and pedals, with an antiques room sharing the floor. An on-site repair bench handles setups and fixes, and free parking makes it an easy detour from the Cape Region beaches. In a state with almost no independent guitar retail south of Wilmington, it is the destination stop for players working the Delaware shore.
