Default Update on Organic Sounds brick and mortar guitar shop

Hello to my AGF friends,

I have received a lot of questions about when the shop will open, so I'd like to take this opportunity provide an update on our progress. Our brick and mortar presence has been in the works for quite awhile now - complicated by the pandemic of course. We've been an online guitar business for over a year now, which I enjoy, but the idea from the beginning was to have an actual shop. We finally are making progress towards that end.

We have a very cool leased space, and have submitted plans to turn it into a shop. We are currently waiting for permits before we can begin construction. If everything goes smoothly (a big if!), then we should open our doors by the end of April. I have added a blog post to our website with some of my thoughts and more details, which you can read here:

https://organicsoundsguitars.com/blo...g-soon-finally

Having the walls full of guitars when we open will be a challenge, but we have a large number of instruments on order, being built right now, from the likes of Huss and Dalton, Santa Cruz, National Resophonic, Larrivee, Alvarez, and others, and we are also receiving consignment instruments. The walls will fill up as the next few months pass!

I'd like to thank you, everyone here on the AGF, who has been so supportive. As always, please feel free to contact me if I can answer questions or be helpful in any way.

Warm regards,

Larry

Here's a teaser shot of the space:

May your trail to a brick and mortar be smooth and the grade gentle.

Sounds great, Larry! I see on the website you will have a performance area. That should really be a competitive advantage, create some buzz, etc.

Continued success, I wish I was closer! My wife has an aunt nearby. Her son is a former recording artist who lives in No. Cal. now, but I'll tell him about your shop and encourage a visit the next time he is in the area.

Larry:

Great update. I have no doubt that you’ll fill the walls with wonderful guitars that you will make sing even better when you share the sound videos.
