Sam Ash announced Friday that they were closing half of their national locations, which doesn't surprise me because Tucson's Rainbow Guitars just down the street is basically an online store now since Covid started four years ago .... if you want to handle something on their site you have to call and make a reservation, and any repair work is by reservation also. It seems Harvey has discovered that he makes just as much if not more from running it as an internet site and on Reverb. I haven't been in there since 2018 since the guys on the floor who I liked left.
I hope you get your guitar soon, because they say their internet business is doing well, but I guess they have some debt to restructure as they've closed their flagship store in Manhattan.
