What guitars should every store have?

[Richiesos]

My family has a music store, and we've been doing great with music man guitars. My father asked me, "if you had to pick 3 music man guitars to put up on the wall, which ones would you get?"

My picks we're a purple sunset Y2D hardtail, a blue pearl silhouette, and a trans blue axis with a floyd.

I thought this would be a great question for the folks here as well.

So, if you walked into a music store, what 3 guitars would you really want to see on the wall?

thanks,
-Richie

1. Reflex/GC Just to demonstrate how short other brands fall when it comes to options and innovation.
2. Axis. Simple interface. Monster tone. 'Nuff said
3. Silo/Silo Spec. Just to show there are outstanding alternatives to the conventional Strat.
4. Petrucci. Just love this axe.

AXIS super sport because is the best and a lot of versality
PETRUCCI because is a best seller
SILHOUETTE because is a swiss knife you can do evething you want with it

2. Reflex (b/c of my 25th)
3. Petrucci

1. Petrucci

3. Silo

 

[Danserrano]

Lots of the same answer huh sorry for quadruple posting lol

 

[Tollywood]

1. Axis with Floyd Rose

2. Big Al Bass

3. Steve Morse Y2D or a Luke

One of the three should be from the Ball Family Reserve...

 

[walleye]

i think you need to include a JP in your 3. its the best seller apparently

 

[nathanhny]

The Luke's should be on more guitar shelves. Just for the fact that most people i've shown my Luke's to, whether they're shred heads, jazz guitarists etc, loved the playability and tone they give. I'm starting to see more JP's pop up in guitar stores which is cool, they just need to add more of the rest of the family to that

 

[DrKev]

RW HH AL
Petrucci
Luke

All of them green.

 

[Mark-NL]

Just because I'd like to try them:

AL SSS
Morse standard
Morse Y2D

 

[lukeuser78]

LUKE
Silo Special
Axis SS

 

[browndog]

Axis
JP
Luke
Silo
SM Y2D
Reflex
AL HH

I’d be more happy seeing all these.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

I always try to have a LUKE, JP, and y2d.

 

[tommydude]

Only three !?!? Mannnnnnnnn

Axis with Floyd
JP (non BFR)
Luke

I think its almost impossible to suggest only 3 instruments since to only showcase this limited number would be a disservice to the rest of the range in my opinion. As a luke player, my instinct says luke, petrucci & Al but that does not mean i value the silo or morse models any less. I believe that if a store is going to stock instruments of this calibre, serving the calibre of players/ collectors who enjoy them so much, then one from each model category would give the correct flavour. Lets face it, thats not many instruments to have in store and they are so different. I dont understand the logistics of running a music store so forgive my ignorance stating what i think seems common sense in stocking one of each. I wish we had Pete or Colin in the UK. How do i start a brand specific dealership? Having said all that I am totally biased to EBMM and would be happy walking in a store and only having to choose from these.

1) AL HH
2) AL SSS
3) AL MM90
