From what I understand it won't be the first time for Guitar Center. I like Sweetwater better anyway, their customer service is really on the ball and besides like the candy they send me. I'd pay a little more for the service Sweetwater provides but I don't pay anything extra maybe a little less. I ordered a simple music stand from Guitar Center a while back and it took forever to get it here from inside my own state while Sweetwater always gets it here within a week from across the country. It always helps if you get off your ass and try to hustle.

If they'd get an FFL and call it Guns, Gittarz and God + discount liquors I'll buy some stock ?

To me it looks like they can't find their asses with both hands and a flashlight and just don't care enough to try. Overall is see MBA finger prints all over it and from what I've seen MBAs with their 90 day vision are the kiss of death for any business.

Top heavy management and overexpansion to stimulate sales growth.
I know GC well.

Long story but I used to teach there.
My band decided to do a tour.
GC told me they had a thing called gig leave. They promised I would still have a job when I returned.
They lied. So I have no use for that place.

They have had money issues for years. Guess it caught up to them.

I bought a couple of guitars from them for my son, without any issues. They weren't high pressure or anything.

Like I said MBA finger prints. They'll leverage the hell out of any business to make the next quarter look good and rackup their bonuses meanwhile they're bleeding the company white of anything that counts over the long haul like reputation, good will etc.

They flew me from Los Angeles to Manhattan for a weekend, put me up in a $400 a night room, just to show some employees how to put pictures on the internet.

What's the Operation...are you starting a band?

I'm all set for studio/music type purchases for the hobby side of things...I think the next thing I want to look into is futurizing my home. WE have a lot of parties so I'm hoping there's some sort of way to add ceiling speakers to each room and having some amp where it can play different songs in different zones or play the same stuff in the different zones...also turn off and on all zones independently.

There's got to be a way to customize it to that depth, I'm thinking.

I’ve been a musician for 40 years now. My original band has been together for 20 years. Currently working on our 6th album. I guess the G. A. S. bug bit me hard. Can’t stop buying gear.
GC could probably set up a system for you. They are actually quite good. Expensive but good.
