Council Bluffs sits across the Missouri River from Omaha, and Lidgett Music has anchored its downtown since 1988. The wall runs deep on high-end acoustics and electrics — Collings, Suhr, and Novo share the floor with Fender, Gibson, PRS, Martin, Taylor, Eastman, and Gretsch — backed by amplifiers, pedals, and a rotating pre-owned section. The bench handles restrings, setups, and pickup swaps in house. A full e-commerce catalog ships the same inventory nationwide, which makes the storefront worth the river crossing for anyone hunting a boutique build in western Iowa.
