Interesting points all. I`ve never even been in a GC store so I don`t have much to go on. How long have they been around ? Just seems to me that the concept of a guitar "superstore " is a bit of an oxymoron. To me, playing guitar is a personally intimate experience, so the idea of walking into a warehouse type setting to buy a guitar or guitar supplies seems a bit weird. That might work well with kitchen appliances or furniture, but not too sure in this case. Again, never been in a GC so someone correct me if I`m wrong.

BTW, Happy Thanksgiving to all.
