I heard at a jam today that Guitar Center is in dire financial straits right now, having trouble staying afloat. Maybe that's behind the changes you folks are talking about.

But here in Portland, the word is that as of last night you can still go in and take down the Martins, etc., from the wall and play them.

I've also appreciated Guitar Center's being willing to find items at their other stores all over the country and have them send to the store where I'm shopping, without charging me any shipping.
