Well the time has finally come for me to open my Boutique Guitar Shop on the East Coast, King Guitar Ltd. This has been in the works for 2 years now and now its the time to launch it in 2012. This is my vision of the ultimate laid back premium guitar shop. Highly interactive web presence being developed now and will be at: http://www.KingGuitar.com

The shop is located in a gorgeous renovated 150 year old waterfront mill in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. It is not huge but it feels perfect to me with 25 foot ceilings, hardwood floors and massive windows. The beauty of having it located in Rhode Island is all brands and lines will be available to me as there is no high end guitar shop coverage in the smallest state in the USA until now. :rock:

Of course my main business will be offering gear online though my website in the vein of Wild West, Music Zoo, Wildwood etc...I hope to have the support of the Rig-Talk community but I do not take it for granted and know I need to have great products at competitive prices with world class service to earn the business. I just hope you continue to give me the oppurtunity.

My showroom back east will be open by appointment as I also have a home in North Hollywood, CA now and travel there monthly to keep track of my business out there and to network with top builders and musicians.

I am currently lining up brands I would like to represent in my shop. Many of the deals are already done which is cool and others I hope to be able to secure at NAMM. I only will carry premium guitars and amps, thats what we do. I will also have killer used and vintage gear available as well.

My targets for product lines are as follows as I am open to any suggestions you guys may have that you think would be a good addition I may want to check out.

Diezel. Suhr. Bogner. 65 Amps. Soldano. Tone King. Two Rock. Cameron. Friedman. Fortin. EVH. Luxxtone. Tom Anderson Guitarworks. Trussart Guitars. Tyler Guitars. National Steel. Bartlett Guitars. Charvel. Zvex. Strymon. Eventide. Fulltone. Klon. Rocket Pedals. Trailer Trash. Bradshaw. MXR.

I am open to all suggestions and would love to include the membership here in helping to build your favorite guitar shop.

Thanks For the Continued Support.

Looks sweet. Those tall ceilings and wood flooring makes me want to crank up an amp full blast.
 
Looking good! I just saw this on your facebook also. I wish it was a little closer to me, but with a little planning I will be able to take a trip there one day when the shop opens. It is about a 3 and a 1/2 hour drive for me, but sounds like it will be well worth the trip. :thumbsup:

Just a few brands to consider/throw out there for you. The list you have already is everything I could ever want, but I know these have a following: Empress, Keeley, Analog Man, Korg ( Gotta have tuners :lol: :LOL: ), TC Electronics, Furman, BK Butler (not sure if he will distribute to stores).

Edit: Carol-Ann, Voodoo Labs, Metropoulos
 
Bare Knuckle Pickups!

My wife has family in CT that we visit from time to time, might have to swing over next time I'm out on that coast.
 
Are you neighbors aware this will be a guitar and amp store ! :D

Terrific space ! :thumbsup:

of course not... :lol: :LOL:
 
Great looking place! I'm sure you will do well. :rock:
 
Congratulations Brad it looks great reminds me of parts of the Warehouse studio in Vancouver. I can't wait to see it all come together.
 
This is awesome Brad! Best of luck to you. Glad to see Tom Anderson getting some love at your store. You might be getting a call from me this year sometime for a custom order.
 
That is a nice looking bricks & mortar shop bro. Good luck on the new venture, but I think you will do extremely well. Wait, where the hell is Rhode Island?
 
Congrats. Looks very cozy in there. I can already see the wall lined up with suhrs.


Just a couple that came to mind. Not sure if its an option but vigier and maybe some Rico's.
 
Congrats on the new place.


Splawn. Baron. Egnater maybe?

You've got EVH listed twice FYI. Best of luck Brad!
 
Cool space! :thumbsup: Good luck with the new venture.....and, another vote for Port City.
 
Looks like a great space, I will have to take a drive down there for sure.
 
You should carry CEC Amplification. I've got one of Craig's amps and another on the way. They hang with the big boys I've got around right now (Diezel, CAA, Orange, etc.) no problem.
