    There are reasons why southern California is so heavily populated, despite all the genuine drawbacks of living there. Consistently good weather is one of those reasons (movie studios are not there by accident). Good on you for the proper English-looking breakfast / brunch after the Best Buy shopping excursion - it looks like you ate well. Shopping requires sustenance.

    For cameras go over to Samys Camera on Fairfax. I am born and raised here in LA and I have been an editorial photographer for 40 years. Norms Rare Guitars in Tarzana is the place for vintage guitars. For Guitar set up go to Eric’s Guitar Shop in Van Nuys. He does the set ups for many known professionals. I guess you are here for NAMM. For a good pancakes go to Du-Pars at the Farmers Market Fairfax & 3rd Street next to The Grove. That is near Samys Camera. The only thing I like at IHOP is their German pancakes.

    I lived in LA from 1979-1992 and the Guitar Center was my local shop. But I had a flashback at about 4min into your video - I owned a Gibson ES-140T in the 1970s-80s until it was stolen out of my car parked around the corner from that store. Seeing that guitar in your hands, and the price tag both freaked me out. I only ever owned 2 Gibsons and that one was special. Enjoy Lotusland. It’s a bit damp back in Blighty.

    You did not say exactly what day you did your visit to Sunset Strip, but April through June is mostly sunny and not too hot. There are some days when the marine layer moves inland and covers all of the LA basin with low clouds. We even had a little drizzle a few weeks ago that would be more like English weather.
