Big Poppa - Best Buy

**WarMan** · 02-11-2009, 09:17 AM

Big Poppa,

I have recently started checking out the Dallas Best Buy. It is within walking distance of the north Dallas Guitar Center. The purchasing experience there is pretty good. And Best Buy seems to keep a decent level of back stock. Their sales people are polite and seem to be as knowledgeable as those at GC. They also seem to carry some nice stuff that isn't carried by GC. And most of it is NIB. But I didn't notice any Music Man guitars. Do you anticipate Best Buy carrying Music Man?

That's funny, because the Best Buys in NYC all carry Music Man guitars by the boatload. hmm...

I've never seen an EBMM in either of the two Best Buys near me, though my experience with Best Buy's "music room" hasn't been so warm and fuzzy....

At this time Best Buy is not an authorized dealer for Music Man. If you've seen any in the stores they are either used or you are mistaken. I would love to see a photo of one there if you see it. Very possible you might see the new Sterling line in stores later in the year. Good to hear you enjoyed the shopping experience.

It seems so weird to have any sort of professional music equipment in a Best Buy, IMO.

Especially considering how "knowledgeable" their sales staff is when it comes to their electronics

I hear they are hiring past GC employees and other 'real' Music Store staff, but that remains to be seen. I'll have to check out the Best Buy near me and grill them with some questions!

Yes, but no Music Man guitars...just to be clear.

**jamminjim** · 02-11-2009, 07:20 PM

crap - I was halfway out the door on my way to start the truck and get moving down the expressway to Best Buy.

Man, I am now very deflated.......

The wife shouted down the hallway "It's just a joke" "It's just a joke" ...
