Mike Svec, owner of Anchorage Guitar Centre for 30+ years in Anchorage, Alaska, died Sunday, Jan. 3rd. He helped many young musicians over the years get started with his generous payment and layaway plans on every and anything in his store. He was the ONLY Fender authorized dealer in Anchorage. Rest in peace, Mike. You will be missed.

Prayers out to Mike, We hope that our fine brothers in the North get a chance to get Fender gear. Sorry for your loss my friend

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like he was a real good person. Hard to find store owners like that nowadays. Luckily I still have some around my small part of the world.

Any guitar, any questions,any time-Mike was always ready to help any way he could! I bought my 1st new guitar from him in 1983! It was an honor to know him Thanx Mike for all your help! R.I.P.!

Mike was indeed a good person, very good person indeed.

He did help many young musicians get started and involved with music, I am one of them. Over the years I kept buying from his store or would say that I needed guitar strings just because I liked to just stop by and say hello. I guarantee the is no other place with service this great and such a friendly owner. I will miss him and others will too.

I lived in Anchorage for many, many years and just moved from there 3 years ago and was never aware there was a Guitar center there till this thread and then I googled it… ...always went to mammoth music….
It’s a shame, his family will be in my thoughts and prayers..RIP brother
