Where to find EB in stock around Chicago??

[highenuff]

O.K., I'm looking at getting another Axis SS, or a 20th silouette the only problem is I would like to just buy one locally in CHICAGO rather than ordering via an online place, and I really don't think I can wait for 3-6 months that would be unbearable.......

please do not say guitar center, they are just brutal.

I'm around the Chicago area. I still went through Pete. The shops around me are just not up to par. They also don't know much about Music Man guitars. And waiting is half the fun.

nice Norm!!

 

[Jim Warnstedt]

Maken' Music has some nice stuff. That's the best dealer around the Chicagoland area!

Well the guitar center on halsted has a axis about 2 weeks ago,

chicago music exchange had a axis SS signed by slash.

Maken didn't have any guitars when I there last in april, try calling them first.

other then that theres not much in chicago.

I was at the music center in kenosha in june and they only had a JP but i bet thats gone by now!

Thats the fun of a music man the hunt is the fun part!

 

[Larry]

I've never been to Make N Music Ill have to stop by one day.

 

[Larry]

I went to their site. They have alot of Music Man gear if there site is right

The best place to dream is the chicago music exchange he has oriental rugs surrounding the front of the store with couches it feels more like a hotel then a guitar shop! The amps he has there are un-real! Its a very nice store the new location on lincoln ave.

Thanks for the input, I called make n music and checked out the webstite. They have a bunch of pertrucci's, and one 20th Silhouette...boy that looks sweet. Still searching for a place that has a few Axis SS in stock.

One of you guys mentioned Pete to order through, who is he?

 

[Larry]

Pete DuBaldo. He isn't locally in Illinois. But he can order you and Music Man you'd like. I know the wait sounds bad but you can order it with everything you want in it. You dont have to compromise.

Heres his site.

And you wont have to pay the 8% sales tax!

 

[SteveB]

You could try forum member Doug (bassplayr)'s shop:

Daddy O's Music Shack

He's in Springfield, not sure where that is relative to Chicago, but I think it's nearby. (too lazy to map it right now..)

 

[Larry]

Springfield is about a 7 hour drive.

 

[SteveB]

Ahh, well then.. nix that unless you're up for a road trip!

Two words:

Dealer

Locator

http://ernieball.com/mmonline/dealers/

Click on the name of the dealer and you get an inventory list. It's up to the dealers to keep it updated as guitars are sold, though, so it might not be up to date. But it does show what they ordered...so you can narrow it down that way and start calling.
