Update on Sam Ash Music- Sold To Gohner Music 

Thanks for the update! I hadn't heard about this...

Makes sense now why they weren’t aggressive in selling out their inventory

Saw that news last night... Hopefully they can make the online version work well.

I had a Sam Ash right down the strip mall from a guitar center. I loved it because I could leverage them against each other in trades.

I really hated to see them go under. Was going to their Hempstead location since I was 13, and went there till that location closed. Then was going to the Carle Place and Huntington Locations. My last purchase there was about a week before they put a bullet in it, I purchased a Keyboard Controller. They had some excellent Techs working there. Would you leave your 50 year old Fender or Gibson at Guitar Center for a re-fret? Not me! I'm glad they will exist in some capacity, and some employees will still have jobs. Sweetwater has one Retail Brick and Mortar, huge with about everything. I'd like to see an East & West Coast Version of that. There's nothing like trying it out, seeing it in person without the hassle of the purchase/return cycle. Just my two cents on all this.

Online only..... they really need to up the game if they are to compete with Sweetwater....

Makes sense to me it would be foolish not to keep that name alive.

another american company folds and now owned by another country. way to go brandon
