Camrose, Alberta, Canada - used to be Umea Sweden.
My friend finally quit his meat manager and made his dream come true - to run a music store. It's a franchise called Music Centre Canada, right here in little Camrose.

I am helping him out a bit with teaching a few students per week. The best part of this for myself is I get a huge discount on buying gear! :D :D :D

GAS will come easier than ever now, I tell ya... hehe :rolleyes:

I saw some nice PRS LE and Hagstrom guitars in there that I'm gonna check out. He's also got some G&L Tributes, Parker Fly's, Ibanez, and some Crate, Marshall and Roland amps.
 
that sounds cool - I'm sure you could borrow one or two guitars and demo them on youtube for us ;)
 
He might need to figure out his shipping to us US Fretters and figure out a Fret deal! Instant internet commerce! Also, there are quite a few Canadian fretters to keep him going. Oh, I forgot, our US dollar isn't worth so much up there right now is it?
 
Those Hagstrom guitars are real nice I was looking at them last week, check them out you will like them.
 
sweet, do they have any good cheap basses?

also: I plan on building basses and selling them to earn a few bucks after high school, do you think you could convince him to be a dealer?
 
Uh oh! Your friend will be in trouble soon. He's going from getting his frustrations out by chopping stuff up to...what? What outlet will he now have. Get all the guitars that you can before he explodes. I'd personally rather eat boogers than run a music store. It's gotta be really hard. I worked in one for a while and never will again.

Wish him luck and get him to start running with you. That might help with the pressure.
