Matthew QuailHOST
I was trying to find, before we came on, I was trying to find out what is going on because we're now getting into close to the fourth quarter.
Matthew QuailHOST
What is going on with Guitar Center's own guitar brand? I couldn't really find any updates.
Matthew QuailHOST
And I thought that they were trying to introduce it by September, October.
Jon GundryHOST
Was that the deadline? I don't...
Jon GundryHOST
That was the
Matthew QuailHOST
goal.
Matthew QuailHOST
When the CEO of Guitar Center was promoting it in the spring, the idea was to have this available by...
Matthew QuailHOST
But maybe that was too ambitious.
Brian OmilionHOST
He traded...
Brian OmilionHOST
Oh, it was a Guitar Center.
Brian OmilionHOST
He traded in two of them at Guitar Center, and Guitar Center gave him 15% off the Tonex board plus the trade credit.
Mason MarangellaHOST
'Cause I would think that would be a smart thing for Tonex to do.
Brian OmilionHOST
Oh, yeah.
Brian OmilionHOST
Yep
Mason MarangellaHOST
... you know, that maybe was tiered based on sort of like a...
Mason MarangellaHOST
I know it would be hard at a Guitar Center-
Daniel PatrickHOST
Sure.
Daniel PatrickHOST
Well, what was it? What was like trying to get into like stores? Because you're in Guitar Center now, which is like as far as.
Daniel PatrickHOST
As far as music stores, it would be like in the 80s getting a toy at Toys R Us on the shelf.
Daniel PatrickHOST
That is the big retail spot for people to buy guitar accessories.
Scott MarquartGUEST
Um, but the, the other ones that are, you know, maybe kind of just, just hanging on, um, they don't pay much attention really, you know, you'll, you'll call them up and they're like, huh, I've never heard of you.
Scott MarquartGUEST
Um, So we definitely still get a lot of that.
Scott MarquartGUEST
But to the Guitar Center question.
Scott MarquartGUEST
So I mean, we've been working that.
Jackson NicholsGUEST
Like, we needed the power cables to plug into the back of our amps, and everybody's amp who was already there, like, playing, all of them, like, was, was wired into the amp, so we couldn't borrow any of those.
Jackson NicholsGUEST
So I, like, I had Brennan, um, go find, like, quarter inch cables to borrow from other bands while I drove to, um, a Guitar Center that for some reason was open till 9:00 PM and was 20 minutes away.
Jackson NicholsGUEST
I drove very unsafely.
Jackson NicholsGUEST
I don't recommend it.
GretaHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jackson NicholsGUEST
But, um, I ended up getting there, and power cables at Guitar Center are 25 bucks each, and I had like $12 in my bank account.
Jackson NicholsGUEST
[laughs]
Brennan GibsonGUEST
[laughs]
JoshHOST
An American-made Fender Stratocaster.
JoshHOST
I was just at Guitar Center yesterday.
JoshHOST
Those things go...
JoshHOST
They start... at about $1,200.
HuggyHOST
I wear my Bergstroms all the time.
HuggyHOST
I got some Guitar Center ones, Anchorman ones.
HuggyHOST
I got Captain Crunch ones.
HuggyHOST
How many years did you go without wear? How long did you go without wearing socks regularly? I would wear the same pair of socks in the winter every day just because I couldn't find any socks, but now I fold them because they're easy to match.
Matt BurrillHOST
underrated spot.
Matt BurrillHOST
A lot of people don't know about that over there by the Guitar Center, bro.
Matt BurrillHOST
That is a...
Matt BurrillHOST
That is a go-to spot.
Aubrey BuggGUEST
I got it.
Aubrey BuggGUEST
I was working at Guitar Center at the time and it came in and I said, okay, so before this even hits the floor, I have to buy it.
Aubrey BuggGUEST
It just sounds so good.
Aubrey BuggGUEST

Brad WilliamsHOST
Yeah, I've heard about this.
Aubrey BuggGUEST
Not quite my style, but I worked at a guitar center for many years, and all of my coworkers were metalheads, and they'd be like, yeah, I went to Sinkhole when we moshed.
Aubrey BuggGUEST
And I'm like, what is going on? What is happening? But there's a wealth of incredible musicians in St.
Lucy GuoGUEST
Like I was just bored one day.
Lucy GuoGUEST
I went to Guitar Center.
Lucy GuoGUEST
I bought decks.
Lucy GuoGUEST
And then I called on like two of my DJ friends and I'm like, so can you wire this up for me? And like, what do these buttons do? And like, how do I work this? And they're like, okay, step one, download a hundred of your favorite songs.
