Sam Ash closing


Just saw Sam Ash will be closing all its stores by the end of July after 100 years of being in business. I remember going there as a kid and gawking at all the awesome drum sets I could never afford.  Yet another sad internet casualty and sign of the times but maybe an opportunity for the musicians among us to pick up a good deal.  Oh well.

Just the very name - "Guitar Center" - is old school. I mean, I've given them thousands of dollars over the years, but I feel the age of guitar-oriented music is and has been on the wane for a while. Coupled with the large-volume low pricing of Sweetwater and MusiciansFriend and, as @tablejockey points out, I'm surprised these stores are still around.
