In terms of physical space in the store, or the number of brands/stock we carry?

I'm focusing on 5-6 guitar brands and 5-6 amp brands, along with accessories like Bare Knuckle Pickups, Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, Ernie Ball, etc. We would look to expand both the amount of stock and types of things we carry when we got things rolling.

My goal is to carry Bernie Rico Jr, Jackson USA, Paul Reed Smith, Caparison, Parker USA, VHT, Diezel, Framus, ENGL, Orange, and Dr. Z to start. I have some other brands in mind but it's too preliminary to mention yet.

In terms of the size of the physical store, we're not sure yet as we are scheduled to scope out some real estate in the next week or two.

I plan to have their entire line represented if we get things finalized with them, so I'll have you covered

Not sure if this has been covered, but last time I read it was like page nine

When do you think you'll have a physical storefront? we are taking a late-summer trip to boston and it'd be great to meet up, have a few brews, and check out the store. . If not, we can still meet up for that brew . If we weren't flying I'd bring my VHT and I'd have do some magic to it (bias if I haven't done so by then...). I need to do that soon, though

Yeah man, especially during my breaks I'll spend the 4 hours or whatever it takes on a train with a wallet up my butt and check out the store.

Haha a lot has happened since page 9, though I updated page 1 with some of the pertinent information Basically I now own the company, well 50% of it

Anyways we plan on opening by the end of May. It would be great to meet up with you, definitely would be fun! We should have some awesome gear for you to jam on by the time you come

I have a feeling none of you are going to want to leave the store without a VHT Sig:X in your back pocket I can't wait to get one myself.

May? Perfect, I've committed myself to saving for a Caparison until I have enough. Should be May by then

Yeah I'd be putting in an order well before then though, I'm not sure what Caparison's lead time is yet. Besides, like you know from following this thread, a deal with Caparison isn't in place yet so I can't guarantee anything. All I can guarantee is if we do get them on board, I'll hook you up with the best price in the universe

PS: If anyone is interested in a badass Rico Jr. Handmade 7 or 8-string, I am taking pre-orders now

I really don't know. Big enough I'm sure, it won't be a hole-in-the-wall, it should be somewhat spacious. My business partner is handling that side of the business, but I'll be there as well to help inspect locations.
