This is good news actually.
I’ve avoided GC for years for two reasons:
- annoying sales kids
- annoying kids overcrowding the place, making it impossible for anybody to have a decent shot testing a guitar seriously. Way too much noise in those stores...plus guitar floor models are often in really poor condition after being abused by hundreds if not thousands of window shoppers. Making the guitar inaccessible might be a really good way to prevent this.
This is why I prefer to go to the upscale, non-chain stores. The instruments are actually properly setup and you have a real quiet room to test guitars.
If GC completely goes out of business one day I wouldn’ miss it one bit
