Monopoly..... Yup that be SweetWater.

As said anyone is free to buy from them but let's be honest about what they are, how they do business and that they pretty much destroy the American Music Industry as such.... Its just unAmerican.


It's time Fender, Gibson, Martin and others in the industry stop letting the tail wag the dog

Please tell us how Sweetwater is a monopoly and how they destroyed the American music industry. There are several musical instrument dealers that are at the same level as Sweetwater (GC, MF, ZSounds, etc.) - are they just as evil? Why single out Sweetwater? I have no vested interest in their success, but I have spent tens of thousands on gear there and it is was always at a better price than I would have gotten elsewhere. Seems like the American way, no?

You'd think they are on the same level but yeah not even close.


When youre looking at online sales of new guitars....... No one else sells more new guitars online than them. Combine that with with slave labor and however they do things out there with robots and BS and automated bin systems and robot dogs or whatever.....


Nvm guitar sales online account for around 40% of new guitar sales. And also having shipped out to these fuckers working in the industry...... Not just them but Fender, Jackson, Charvel, EVH, PRS, MF, GC, Sam Ash, Zzounds, AMS, Pitbull Audio etc etc and pretty much everyone in the industry and I mean everyone.


Nvm the music industry but yeah a shit ton of other industries and even then..... SweetWater orders would put even government orders to shame in terms of product.


When you looked at how much product SweetWater would order...... There would be days where you could combine all the product we'd send out to everyone else together in the music industry, trucks and pallets and pallets worth..... And it would still pale in comparison to SweetWaters order. We all know they are big and all but when you stare at the face of the beast and really look into its eyes..... You realize just how monstrous it is and I never really got it until after but yeah.


When you see that for reals with your own eyes...... There is no other way to define them but other than a fucking monopoly IMO

C’mon man, save your self further grief. You made your point well. Now you’re just asking for jabs in the balls if you think a rational discourse is going to appear
I have extended family in Fort Wayne. It’s a nice enough place. Too flat and too cold in the winter for me but I like the people up there a lot.
Visited Sweetwater once before Covid and it looks like it’s tripled in size since I was there.

 

[lol]

My mom lives in Indiana. I'm jealous because she can always go to sweetwater whenever she feels like it. She's never been though.

They don’t sell crack out back any more?….



…..I kid, I kid…my warped mind instantly went to a Mom joke and I couldn’t stop myself. I’m sure she’s a lovely lady.

I suddenly want a sammich

 

[The~Kid]

Also I have homies from the out there in Indiana and that area and not wanting to disparage everyone or paint the state like that......my apologies to homies from Indiana or the surrounding area.


Having said that IMO what SweetWater does is unAmerican and I'm not supporting a monopoly that is destroying the American Music Industry

Nope... You've already called Indiana a 3rd world shithole multiple times over. Too late to walk that back now trying to save face. Live with what you said.

Youre simply hilarious

Sweetwater.
Have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on products.
2 Year warranty. Same sales guy for years. I send the guy a message on Sunday and he responds.
Had an issue with a Mark V and they sent a new one overnight, without even asking for the old one back prior.
Receive a $2000 drum machine which was stolen out of the box and shirts stuffed inside instead. Sent an email with pictures. Next day another drum machine arrived on my doorstep.
9 times out of 10 they do overnight shipping for free.
Match prices. Throw in cables for free. Free hats and Tshirts.
I've bought demos that ended up being scratched and used to shit. They send me a new one, same price as the demo

Guitar center, Musicians Friend, Vintage King, all the rest of them. Never get the same sales guy. They could give a shit if you go elsewhere.
No 2 year warranty. No sales guy that actually gives a fuck. They DO NOT understand the concept of customer service.

Tell me again why I should hate Sweetwater?

TAKE A FUCKING SEAT

Right on bro......


I imagine you love buying shit on Amazon Prime too right because it's so convenient and BS and all...... Am I right


Again you want to support pretty much a monopoly, that exploits cheap labor/taxes/living wages, a sweatshop within America...... You want to support the destruction of the American Music Industry.


Go right ahead...... Enjoy SweetWater and enjoy buying shit on Amazon bro *_*

He's repeatedly said the same things about Ohio to me. I'm pretty sure to this fucking moron, everyone in the Midwest is just a hick or a yokel. Pretty typical for a SoCal nobody with a low IQ.

We got dumb hick yokels everywhere too that come from out of state or from here too..... I'm pretty sure it's not something exclusive to the Midwest so don't feel special.....

You’re being melodramatic. Quit whining.

He's O.K. (OverKill). With a touch of Spastic.

Same with "the northeast". The irony of him being from CA Is completely lost.
