re: How do you buy guitars?

If you don’t know how to search out local guitar/music shops within a 100 mile radius, You deserve the likes of Guitar Center. I manage to find a couple really cool shops in almost every mid-size city I visit.

Also…the Guitar Center low inventory thing actually IS their fault, and was going on before the China-flu. They filed for bankruptcy/reorganization a few years back. That’s what happens when you hire a full staff 21 year olds that don’t really know what they are talking about, and have zero skin in the game.
