I compiled a list of guitar shops last year. Most of the information should still be accurate.
Dun Huang Music
Corner of Nanjing and Jianguo (well, about 10 metres north on Jianguo).

Player Music
台北市金華街19號 (No.19, Jinhua St., Zhongzheng Dist., Taipei)
Best way to get there is go on the MRT to CKS Memorial Hall Station and exit at exit 3, then turn right to face the shop. It’s right by the exit.

SLS (Xin Li Sheng) Music
sls-music.com.tw/

Galaxy Music Company (AKA “Golden Ant Music Shop”)
No. 37-1, Sec. 1, Jinshan South Road, Taipei ( located between Ren’ai road and Zhongxiao East Road, and the nearest MRT is Zhongxiao / Xinsheng station ). Tel: (02) 2357-8665
maps.google.com/maps?q=taipei&h … 81,0,0.76
UD (Up Down) Music
ud-music.com/
(No. 40, Lane 181, Zhongxiao East Rd., Sec. 4. Tel 02 2721 3202).
Note that this place doesn’t open till 1 PM.
It’s REALLY easy to miss, so follow these directions very carefully:
Get off the MRT at Zhongxiao Dunhua, exit 1. Look around for the TKK fried chicken chain restaurant, which will be slightly to your right as you face the shops. Head there and turn left at it. Go up that lane until you are a block before you hit Civic Blvd. On your left at this corner, you will see a shop with a Teddy Bear and a “U” written on it. Go down the alley and a door or two down on your right is UD music (it’s a basement shop).

One more to add. Run by a guy called James, who speaks pretty good English. It’s a very small shop, but you can tell he really loves guitars and knows a lot about them.
