Re: Chicago: Not bad at guitar shops.
Yes, they are. That's how it works. All stock is out front. And sometimes on the web, the stock is virtual, meaning they don't have it "in hand" (not CME btw).jvpp wrote:Great pics, surprised they let you take them.
I always wonder with a store like that if they are shop and warehouse at the same time... All those guitars hanging there... For how long?

CME sells a lot of stuff -we're talking a much larger market with much more spending power than most places. And probably a rock star visit every week, judging by the gig guide.jvpp wrote:Great pics, surprised they let you take them.

Apparently there's a lot of stock in storage as well. They put up at least ten new shop floor guitars on the site a week.
The most expensive guitar of all currently on the site wasn't on display: a clean, flamey '60 burst for a quarter million.

Re: Chicago: Not bad at guitar shops.
That's an awesome post I would love to go see those shops!!! On a smaller scale but equally nice, A year back or so I went into Austin Guitar House to look at a amp for Higainer in Austin, Texas, which is where I am now. But if you guys are ever out this way this is one of 3 shops you might want to check out...

I'd like to (of course) but it's a bit of a hike up north and I'm suffering a bit with a jet lag cold.Tonemaker wrote:That would be awesome if you can make it, defiantly need pics if you go there...Hot_Grits wrote:Even stranger still is your remarkable flaccidity when confronted with such eyefuckery as this.willow13 wrote:I'm a bit disturbed reading this thread ... knowing most of you have your hand on your pecker at the same time

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
