You're best off buying from Sweetwater most guitar stores have a stupid high markup, but that's just my opinion I'm sure someone will post with a good option I never set foot in stores.

I don't know how much you're into guitars, but if your brother lives in a different state that is warmer than NH than he's going to need to let his guitar sit in its case for a minimum of a day or more, because depending on the finish it can do something called "checking". It's when the finish cracks due to expanding and contracting for old vintage guitars it looks great and I don't mind buying one, but if it's brand new and has a finish that isn't a polyurethane like nitrocellulose you run the risk of it cracking if it has drastic changes in temperature.

I've lived all over, so sometimes my gear came from the east coast during winter to AZ where it's was 75 in February, so I've had to be cautious.
