Been a while since I saw one of these threads.
Post some GC cringe
>>61547049
Didn't know we ever had these. I went to GC the other day to try out a JU-06 and went I asked the worker for a midi controller to connect it too he ran around the store trying to figure out what it was
>>61547049
People still visit Guitar Center unironically
>>61547049
I brought my broken Line 6 DL 4 just asking them to have a look to see if was even fixable. The workers got really weird because they said they are not allowed to look at used pedals, a music store that can't help me with a guitar pedal issue... I was really pissed. One guy offered to look at it when his shift was over, I left the store.
Also I like Guitar Center because of the massive power and recourses they have but I also hate that they are everywhere. I live in Chattanooga TN and we only have 1, maybe 2 local music shops because Guitar Center ran them all out of business.
>>61547358
Guitar Center is cool, you can steal guitars because they're too busy irgnoring you.

It's the lowest prices you can get if you know in advance what you need.
As bad as I feel for muh mom and pop businesses, you're retarded if you think I'm going to pay more than I have to for gear.

>>61547358

They'll be going out of business soon, probably mid year or so. Unfortunately they'll probably take Fender with them.
>>61548313
They just don't understand
>>61547312
Guitar center is the only store around me with electronic instruments, and when small stores get them the price is ridiculous. IE $750 for a gigged mackie mixer, $700 for a beat up Korg Delta with a questionable keybed, ect.

It'll probably happen sometime this year, Fender has tied too much of it's business to GC, and GC hasn't been paying Fender. If GC folds Fender will probably fold with them.
>>61548967
no way will fender completely fold. they are sold through so many online retailers. also doesnt guitar center own musicians friend? that isnt going anywhere
>be me

i was sitting down too, not like i was going anywhere but no "y-you could step on a nail"

Wrong. You need to read up on what's coming down the pipe. Best case scenario Fender files chapter 11 if GC folds.
>>61549181
Even if that does happen, american fender guitars will never stop being made.
>>61549075
why the hell would you wear no shoes when you're going to a guitar store? it's not the beach m8.
>>61549181
so why would fender stop doing business with all the other stores and online retailers that they currently do business with?
>>61549177
>>61549299
Once again, wrong. Fender is about $280 million in debt, and pulled it's IPO in 2012 because it's highly leveraged, and therefor investors saw it as a bad investment. The reason they were making a public offering in the first place was to get out from under the crushing debt situation they're in right now.
Sorry, it's only a matter of time. GC being the only domino that needs to fall.
>>61549347
Fender put all it's eggs into GC's basket (so to speak).
Seriously, Google. Find out for yourselves.
>>61549347
Yeah, I live in Australia, We don't even have a guitar center store overhere but tonnes of Aussie stores and online retailers are licenced fender dealers.
telletubby bye bye, fender
>>61549376
So you really think fender america will stop making guitars? I just cannot see that ever happening.
>>61549376
still, even if they took a hit that bad, a company would for sure buy the brand and it would still continue to exist. fender is a world wide brand. this isnt going to happen
>>61549404
>Blockbuster Video, Radio Shack, Boarders Books, etc.
Happens all the time.
>>61549434
>a company would for sure buy the brand
It's a possibility, yes. Not certain by any means, see above.
>play bass through orange guitar tube amp at very low volume. Bass knob cut, treble and mids boosted

>>61549463
those three died because who the fuck buys books these days
is fender really struggling to move product?
>>61549463
all of those are examples of stores going under because of what they sold. its not like all guitar stores and online vendors are gonna vanish. theres no way a company (and the companies they own) as popular as fender would go under. people want them. no one wants to rent a DVD in this day and age. if anything GC will owe fender money.
>>61549545
well what would blow the speaker would not be the bass knob amount but the fact that theres a chance the low pitch would push the guitar speaker past its +/- . but yea, you were not gonna blow the speaker.
>>61549566
>hose three died because who the fuck buys books these days
>>61549578
>because of what they sold
What year do you guys think this is? Electric guitars might as well be accordions in 2016. Rock music is dead.
Why am I even replying to you fucking retards? ALL THIS INFO IS ONE GOOGLE SEARCH AWAY.
i once dropped a guitar and fucking ran. employee chased me and my friend. my friend got hit by a car and fucking died ;_;
>>61549560
Yeah, these days I probably would have just laughed and left but it happened when I was about 16 so I was pretty embarrassed
>>61549642
it is on google. its says that fender will probably go to direct sales. also plenty of people still play guitar. we can shit GG threads everyday. there are tons of shows in cities everyday.
>>61548967
Did anybody ever doubt this? The very fact that guitars became so huge is actually baffling to me now. Don't get me wrong, I have 4 guitars behind me right now and I love the rock spectrum, but over time It's become perplexing what gave this instrument so much credence to begin with. It's still the instrument I play best but I rarely pick it up anymore, I'd rather compose my pieces on the piano now.
>let us grown men gather to smugly tell stories amongst ourselves of highschoolers playing "dadrock" in guitar stores and giggle about how superior we are to them because of this
pathetic thread, get over yourselves. guitar is an obsolete instrument anyway.
>>61549699
>direct sales
Haaa haa haa, yeah, go ask /co/ how that worked out for the comic book industry. Disney owns Marvel for a reason, senpai. Marvel is in the movie business now, not the comic book business.
>genuine Fender kitchenware
>>61549651
lel
>>61549778
comics spiked harder than guitars. also marvel still makes comics. im not saying it wont effect fender but its not gonna wipe them off the planet. no way. i know guitars arn't as big as they once were but its not like they're VHS tier yet.
>>61549778
>>61549851
i should also add that in the 80s everyone though guitars were gonna go out. then the 90s happened...
>>61549871
Ehh hair metal was thriving, so was stuff like Metallica and guns and roses in the 80s. Nobody was thinking that, retard
>>61549940
oh, i forgot. there are literally no bands in existence today. and yes, a lot of synth bands thought that.
>>61549986
Of course synth bands thought that dum dum. Guitars will never ever fade out

thats not as insane of a number as it sounds in big business. im not saying fender is not gonna take a hit but you guys make it seem like bands and casual players dont exist at all and the only person that buys a guitar is a 90 year old grandpa that can handle how a synth works
>>61550137
>thats not as insane of a number as it sounds in big business
Ok, so you admit don't know what you're talking about. Guitar Center's outstanding dept was confirmed to be somewhere around $1.50 Billion, a good chunk of that owed to Fender. Fender *might* pull in $500-650 million annually in sales. After operating expenses (overhead, etc.) how much of that do you think is left? I'd love to hear your answer.
>>61550376
yea, like i said theyll take a hit. you're forgetting the 84 other countries they still sell guitars in as well as other USA retailers. they are not going to stop existing.
itt: autism
>>61550451
Yeah, and like I said, you don't know what you're talking about. They're looking at their dept at least doubling (maybe even tripling) if GC folds. Do you know what will happen if they have to file for chapter 11 with $900 million in dept?

>>61550583
Dude fuck off, you just want to seem hip and modern "le nobdy plays guitars anymooore they're for grampas and dad rockers" guitars are never going to die, especially not fender, they will take a hit, but the american strat and tele will never stop being manufactured. Session musicians use them, the majority of "indie" bands use fender guitars in the studios, even oneohtrix point never have guitar on their latest album, they will always be in use, even musicians who mainly use synths and other types of equipment have jangly fender guitars in parts of their music. Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

Ok, so can see you're upset.... but I'm noticing you still haven't answered either one of my questions though. Care to at least give it a shot or.... ?
>>61550756
>This
Care to elaborate?
>>61550776
I agree on his points of fender never dying, even if they did whats to stop any other guitar manufacturer to get licensing rights and distributing them? Fenders been around decades and while yes the company is doing shitty right now it doesnt mean they wont adjust, i mean really come on now
>>61550776
fender will survive or be bought out and continue.
>>61550776
Dude, you literally have aspergers. They will reorganize and liquidate parts of the buisness, but they will never stop manufacturing American fenders. You're also deluded if you think guitars aren't used anymore, they are used in almost every type of music, they just aren't as prominent, Annie by Neon Indian is a great example of how a guitar is used in contemporary indie music. I could list hundreds of tracks that use guitars, specifically guitars with single coil pickups, but I just do not have the time.
>>61550776
you have autism :-)
>>61550815
So you think just because something has been around for a few years it means it can never die (or be discontinued)?
>>61550842
Probably.
>>61550844

They won't? And what exactly are you basing this assumption on (still waiting for those answers btw)?

>>61550902
>been around for a few years.
Fender is like 70 years old you fucking Autist, it's a brand that is so ingrained in American culture and consciousness, it's not going away. It's like nike just stopping production of their runners or Apple not making macbooks anymore.
>>61550902
Fender, no matter how bad they are doing will always have a large foothold in the market: you're a musician, you want a quality guitar at a reasonable price that you can customize and change over the years to suit your playing styles, a guitar that will last your entire life if you take care of it, a guitar you can get parts for easily if need be, what guitar do you buy? A fender. Fuck off.
>>61550924
>>61550969
>>61551010
More buzzwords, but no answers to any of my questions? *tisk*tisk*tisk* How disappointing. Also, top kek at you describing Apple as a brand "that could never end". You might want to take a gander at that wiki page, my friend.
>>61550925
Maybe. Or they could fold forever, there's no guarantee either way.

I know you fags are busy arguing but wont GC just fold and reopen under a different name like how most businesses are nowadays? I mean if the stores are doing that bad then just close em all and leave a few of them open in big cities like LA,NYC.

The age of physical stores has come to an end.
>>61551119
In 2000, Mars expected to gross $300 million in sales and was planning for a future initial public offering. In April of that year, Mars launched their e-commerce website, marsmusic.com. But as expansion costs exceeded shrinking venture capital markets following the dot-com bubble and subsequent stock market downturn of 2002, Mars Music was forced to attempt reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and eventually filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in November 2002.

Dont remind me but Im studying at UNLV. Theres a Ed Roman Guitars, Mum & Pop spots, and Sam Ash here but all are way out of my way not even worth the drive.
I play bass and most places have shit selections. Trying to sell bby entry basses or rusted vintage shit that barely works.
I bought a Novation Launchkey from them, the service was nice, they were asking me if I needed any help every 3-5 minutes or so and they were pretty nice, I looked around the store since it was my first time going in to a Guitar Center.
The one thing I found weird though, was the fact that they sold USED Maschines which are basically useless because you need the original unused code to use it with the software
>>61547245
JU-06 is kind of crap unfortunately. I was really disappointed by how bad it was.
>>61548313
No GC in this country, but the equivalent store here has some ridiculous employees. I went in a few years ago to try a Mark V with cash in my pocket to buy it if I liked it. I played for maybe twenty seconds and an employee came out and ripped the power cord out the back said, "I don't want to hear any fucking metal today", and walked off.
Amusingly he lost his job over it for willfully damaging store property, and the chain went backrupt shortly lately.

my guitar center always managed to overprice their synthesizers anyway
they had an RS09 in beat-up "some keys do not produce sound" tier condition, for $600.
that's some how more expensive than ebay. who the hell runs this store that thinks being more expensive than ebay is going to get ANYTHING sold
>>61548440
People say this shit every year.
I've never had a bad experience at guitar center
theres lot of tards riffing away poorly but thats kinda fun to be around if you don't go there everyday
staff is sometimes not super knowledgable but usually pretty chill and they recognize that you probably know more about the gear you're interested in than they do so they don't bother you about it much, no super intense sales tactics
tons of shit to look at opposed to mom and pop stores which 99% are the most depressing sites these days
i like guitar center
the used section on their website actually has cool old gear on it for bargains (occasionally) too instead of gear flipping faggots
coolest big box guitar store was a chain called daddys junky music
if you were around the Boston area in the 90s-00s you know them
they were like a really filthy guitar center but had so much esoteric weird shit in there sometimes for super cheap
I had never been in a guitar center before, all I ever knew was reading posts from whiny faggots on shit like harmony central and tgp and they made it out like it was Satans asshole...then I finally went into one and was like "wtf, this is actually pretty cool."
I've also been reading 'guitar center is going out of business' for the past 10 years.
They did some bankruptcy thing for shifty big corporation financial shit, but all big corps do that restructuring stuff. You can tell when a large chain store is in trouble when you go in them and you start noticing stuff like dirty floors, messy shelves, shelves with not a lot of stuff on them, like Best Buy these days. Every time I go in a guitar center they're really clean and packed with shit.

For fucks sake this. I go to my local store to test shit out and then I order it from Thomann. I feel shitty for doing it (actually no, the employees here are assholes so who cares) but I'm not paying more for a guitar that is objectively worse than the one I order online. Even if my fucking postman drops it 5 times it'll still be in better shape.

>he also has no clue what I'm talking about and suggests that I purchase a child's guitar if I want a smaller bodied acoustic
This whole thing took 30 minutes.
also can any houstonfags rec me a good guitar store to go to? I'm sick of going to rockin robin, every time I've gone there the employees act like elitist pricks.

That's how Thomann operates here in Europe, and it's pretty cool. They even point out on their own store that you can "try" out stuff by ordering and then just send it back, no questions asked.

just bought a used one of these for 30 bucks at a guitar center
not a bad pedal t b h
i once brought in a gibson rd artist that my uncle gave me because the nut was broken and the guitar was, for the most part fucked. it has a little variable resistor thing in the back and theres a rubber stopper that fills in the hole where you access the variable resistor. i get it back with the nut fixed, but the rubber stopper is gone. the guy told me that his assistant dropped it in a jar of turpentine they use for cleaning the fretboard overnight and that it was pretty much a soupy mess
i asked for a discount and the guy refused because he fixed the problems with the guitar that i had (except he didnt even, because there was a relay that wasnt connected properly that he only connected 2/3 of the right parameters)
never gotten anything repaired at a guitar center again

>want to buy something
>stand at the counter for a long time waiting for service
>have to go to another department for some one to check me out
>don't feel valued as a customer
True horror
