“I have to try every type of guitar.”
I started buying guitars because I wanted to understand the different styles. With acoustic guitars, I wanted to learn about the different brands (Martin Guitars have a woody sound where Gibsons have very full sounds). I wanted to learn about the different woods. Rosewood vs Mahogany, etc.
On electrics, I wanted to try a Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster because I saw all my musical idols were playing them.
I wanted to learn about the electronics and see what pickups I liked the best……soooooo, I did it. I started buying them.
“Once I bought one, I bought another. It's an addiction that musicians understand.”
When I would buy a new one, I would normally sell one. I kept doing this. At one point, I spoke with my financial advisor who was looking at my sales. She realized that this should expand a little. That is when I built out the website. I wanted an opportunity for people to look at the guitars and buy them for a reasonable price.
This is fun for me. Guitars are my hobby and they make me happy. I want other people to be happy too. These guitars are very expensive and the LAST thing I want is for someone to be disappointed when they get their guitar.
I was talking with a guitar dealer last year who said, “There is a guitar on your site that someone might have been dreaming of getting for years. It might be a cheap one, it might be an expensive one, but they have been dreaming of getting it.”
