Guitar Center in Raleigh, NC caught on fire. Smoke damage throughout their inventory. I wonder if we'll be seeing some sweet deals coming up....

They will probably be trying to charge more, those guys can be the worst to deal with in Raleigh, other than the bozo's at sam ash. They'll call it their "Hot Days of Winter sale"

They probably will become "smoke-aged" and as such a 25% surcharge will be imposed at the point of sale. :twisted:

Ho ho What?

Worst-case scenario, you could always follow Ceri's example and fix up any damaged guitars. 8)

They'll probably double the price of the Strats and sell them as Inspired by Jimi Limited Editions.

I am probably just biased because I had several bad dealings in there. I took my first Telecaster ever there for a setup and got it back and all the guy had done was change the strings out. Of course I didn't know that at first because I was a beginner and it wasn't until I took it a week later to a friends house to play that he said it looked like it was still fresh out of the box so far as the setup and action. I know this was probably my fault but I had only been playing guitar for like 3 weeks at the time and trusted they would take care of me. From then on I just avoided the place.
