Guitarmaker's Connection?

Post by phavriluk »

John Hall mentioned in another thread that Martin has closed the Guitarmaker's Conection. Yuck. Any more particulars about this?

Like, where is all Martin's rejected stuff going now?

Thanks!

Presumably because they can make more money crushing the stuff and declaring it a loss than by selling ii. Same thing happened when I worked at a computer company. Perfectly functional stuff would get crushed instead of sold to employees.

That's sad. I got a great deal on a case for half price and was thinking of buying another for a 00 build $50 - but I snoozed on that. The purchase was made on the web site but my email requests were handled through the GMC.
