No promos at all for me, odd.
Read most of that article, had to put it down and do stuff, came back a couple hours later, couldn't read it without a subscription. Don't blame them, but I'm not subscribing, oh well.Here a more prose article on Bain. Since we are musicians here, I think referencing The Rolling Stone should be fine.

Just got the 3rd one today...No promos at all for me, odd.
Nope. I could see much more initially than I can now. Might be I already read however many articles you get for free this month, by happenstance of followed links. It's ok, I get the point.@Dave Merrill Maybe you have an ad blocker turned on. I can read the whole article, don't have a subscription either.
This video perfectly represents my Guitar Center experiences:
True I am sure. But Sweetwater is a much better run company. Been my store for a long time. In the last 20 years I have bought 1 guitar and 2 speakers from GC, period! I also feel for the employees................
As a musician, I'd rather shop locally and be able to browse instruments by playing them. There is nothing like the thrill of just wandering around a cool music store. Guitar Center had its purpose for me, but shopping there felt purely functional. The sales staff had "specialities" in terms of where they were assigned, but I rarely found someone who had deep knowledge or interest in what they sold. One notable exception in my general experience: the GC in Hollywood is amazing. They have a killer vintage / high end selection, and everything there is both a great musician, and they know their stuff.Agreed completely however I have bought a few guitars from Sweetwater that were first rate from a quality perspective as well as a transactional perspective.
I was really leery about not being able to physically play one first but I'm pretty comfortable with them now.
I called the local Guitar Center today and said I'd heard they'd filed for bankruptcy and asked if they were still open, and when they'd be closing down.
He asked that to see what they'd say.Where did you hear they'd be closing down?
