New Jersey Guitar and Bass Center

New brands or lines you took on in 2013 with success? Every year at NAMM we try to add at least two lines. Some work out very well but many do not. Most of our business is vintage and used American guitars and handmade basses
Outlook for 2014? We are always positive about the future. Someone not positive about the future is only working against his or her own best interests. We have seen stores close in New Jersey these last two years at an alarming rate. I could understand this in 2008, but not now since the economy has been coming back.
Product of the Year? We are finding the most success with lines that we have had for over 30 years. And we are also finding that many of them are manufactured in Canada. Companies such as Godin, Yorkville Sound, Levy, F Bass, and Dingwall not only have great product but they are easy to deal with. Sadowsky is also a bestseller here.
