I did a quick search before and brought up a shop in eastern Oh. Wrong Gary. Yes some of the stores will size you up and let you handle a few. Good to hear.

What is kind of cool about Gary’s guitars is he does not have a public store. He deals out of his house and has a vault off grounds. He did have some nice items around in his office. His rec room was rimmed by great old combo amps of all kinds.

The only reason I got to go to his house was I live in Columbus and he wanted my Fender enough he agreed I could drive down and meet him. He seemed to really trust me, which was cool.

I am not a great guitar player, etc. But, I’ve been around a lot of bands, been in a few (drummer/vocals/writer), ran sound, roadied…so I have an appreciation and know how to act around great instruments.
