Sweetwater new retail music store

[stratjacket]

44,000 square feet and over $100 million of in store inventory.
I might have to make a pilgrimage to Fort Wayne Indiana...

Same…I think it’s about 8hr drive

 

[RedPlated]

$100 million... business is good.

 

[Gitfiddler]

It makes sense that they are raising prices

It's still not enough space to get away from people diming oranges and attempting to play mastodon.

So true.
I rarely pick up a guitar in a music store. I hate strangers coming up to me asking me shit or staring at me playing.

Was just up there and was underwhelmed but now I know why. Store wasn't open yet!! Lol

I almost drove out there a couple months ago to return the 50W Stealth. It has grown on my though so glad I didn't.

On another topic, I wonder if the delay on shipping my 40th anny SD1 from Sweetwater was because of gearfest.

Me too, but it's cool they have insulation rooms so you can crank in a room by yourself. Though I'm curious how many amps are available in these rooms.

I just got my other BAE 1073 and BD201 mic from them today, no delays. So I doubt it

This is what to expect.

When I went earlier this spring they only had one with a Les Paul, dsl50 and a Kemper in the room. It's a way better system for actually trying out gear vs 10 dudes in a room.

I played at them for awhile, it is just kinda distracting having someone play blues a few feet away when i am trying to rip his face off with my demonic riffs.

Last time I went to GC, the loud amp room was a catch all for miscellaneous junk... probably because of covide, but still. I think they had one Krank amp in there
