have been there in years, but Evans used to be decent if memory serves me correct. Also Rocking Robbins was pretty solid for electricsDallasTeleAg said:Okay. I'm going to ask again, so you know it is an honest question. What other store in the greater Houston area has a better Electric selection?Echoes97 said:
Not *as* good for electrics, but not bad either.
Not in number of guitars, but in quality of guitars. I would love to have another place to add to my guitar safari locations.
Evans closed in 2018.
Rockin' Robin is part guitar store, part guitar museum. They don't seem to build Robin guitars anymore. And they don't have a lot of new stuff coming in on the electric side.

Yeah, i've been to Rockin Robin Guitars. All their stuff is also on Reverb.
I wish we had some bigger players in Houston. You would think the 4th largest city in the country would have more of a selection.

They've got two locations now if you're going to be closer to Southlake. Don't know how it stacks up to the original in Addison though.

Addison is the mothership though. I had plans to check out Southlake when I was there last week but didn't make it.
I'll be more on the I-35W side of town, so probably will try the one in Addison.
Tell them this is not an Alex Lifeson Thinline A15AL while you are there. It's an Angelus. A nice guitar. But it is not what they are advertising.

The Guitar Sanctuary in McKinney. A lot of boutique manufacturers but also a lot of fender custom shop. Doesn't carry Gibson however. Tone shop is definitely the answer for Gibson.
Staff - take out the trash.

Cool video by Paul Davids. Watching it right now:
In todays episode of how bad are Guitar Center employees at their jobs…..
I don't think they could have gotten more wrong if they tried.

Looks rare.
Eating dinner at a tex-mex place in Dallas a couple of weeks ago. My BIL from Seattle is a huge IPA fan.
Looking through the drink menu I didn't see any IPAs - don't worry, the college age server waiting on us insured my BIL that Shiner Bock is an IPA.
We politely but firmly informed him that Shiner was in no shape form or fashion an IPA, he should feel horrible for being so stupid, and told him he might be more qualified to work at Guitar Center.
Ok, only the first portion of that last sentence is true, but it would make sense.

I asked to play the HD-28 at my local GC and the dude was trying to sell it to my talking about the mahogany back and sides
Les Paul Reed Smith combo guitars are rare.Quincey P. Morris said:

So, apparently Reverb will now require you to fill out tax information on your account before they will fund your sales, moving forward.
The IRS is requiring them to report on any sales you make over $600 and will generate a 1099 at the end of the year. Government gonna government.
I was able to get funded on my PRS CE sale I just made, but that will be the last thing I sell on the platform while big brother is getting heavy handed.
... that's as tame as I will get on the guitar thread, to avoid bringing politics in here. Just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention.
Here's the notification:

That sucks.
I'm not a business. I'm an individual selling an item.
Will this end up hurting Reverb? I can see people listing stuff there and having buyers get in touch and then possibly selling it to them offsite or otherwise privately to avoid Reverb fees and the tax issues.

The Reverb update was heavily putting it on the government forcing them to do it, and saying they are challenging it because many musicians would be writing things off anyways. I'm assuming any other online marketplace will be forced to do so as well. Gotta collect taxes on that $600 from all of us to send $47B to the Ukraine...
...okay, that's the last political jab i make. Promise.

Let's hope they are bad enough at their jobs to overvalue the Martin 000C-16RGTE that I'm about to try and trade and give me the high end of the range on Reverb
I remember hearing this was coming a while back. I'm just not sure what they're collecting taxes on. I'd think the only thing you could collect taxes on would be the profit, not the whole sale price so what do you do? Keep your receipt for everything you purchase into perpetuity so you can prove how much you did or didn't profit? Functionally I don't understand how this is supposed to work.
You ain't supposed to. Just give the gubmint some money every time something changes hands and it will all be good. It's for your own good afterall....Quincey P. Morris said:

I'm sure they will spend it wisely.

And... They did not. Value was fair, offer was not. Anybody in the market?

Not really, but we wouldn't say no to some guitar photos.

Yep. Unfortunately...get used to it. Same thing happened to me with some concert tickets on Ticketmaster.
Edit to add:
Sam Bankman-Fried: I don’t know where $10 billion dollars went
— Not Jerome Powell (@alifarhat79) December 1, 2022
The Pentagon: We don’t know where $2.2 trillion dollars went
The IRS: You just sent $601.37 don’t forget to report it.
Very pretty!!
That's a really nice guitar but I just sold an acoustic and have two others. My next guitar will be a solid body electric.
That's a good price for that Martin. Good luck with sale.

Thanks. Coincidentally also selling for a solid body electric and a practice amp.

The pics you posted of the solid body electric and amp are not displaying properly.

I think about the only way I would sell to Guitar Center at this point is if it was something cheap and even then what they'd give me might now be with the time and gas to get there.
