BCR Greg Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 15 years is a long time. Back in June of 1994, my wife and I bought a crappy little run down guitar shop in Lemoyne, Pa. It had about 25 guitars, 10 amps and a whole lot of junk. After running two hair salons for the previous 10 years, I was ready for a new challenge, as was my CPA wife. We took over and immediately started transforming the shop into the shop that we had never visited. As a touring musician, I had been in countless guitar shops, but never in one that I wanted to hang out in. Our plan was to have a cool shop with high quality guitars and amps in every price range, and offer repairs that would be fairly priced and well done. We had our share of bumps along the way, as the industry changed beneath our feet constantly. We feel that we have hit the mark, though, and are damn proud of our shop. We have great guitar lines like Hamer, Robin, Nik Huber, Breedlove, Schecter, Ovation, Takamine and more; amp lines from Marshall and Randall to Genz Benz and Tech21. Our teachers are the best in the area, and our repair bench is utilized by Cheap Trick, CSNY, The Cult, Godsmack, Aerosmith, Shinedown, Linkin Park…..you get the idea. To celebrate, we are having the blowout birthday party of the century. On Saturday, June 20, we will mark everything down 10-50%, and have representatives from most of our brands present. We are giving away 6 guitars, 4 amps and a HUGE pile of pedals, t-shirts, strings, etc. To top it off, we will feed everyone, I am bringing in my grill and a chef will be here cooking up the good stuff. Doors open at 10 am, and the bell rings at 6. The phones will not be on, it gets too crazy when we do this sale each year, and this being the 15th, I am sure it’s going to be wild. Come on by and celebrate with us, get a great deal, some chow and maybe win a great prize!
