Personally, I haven't bought a guitar from an actual store in I can't remember when. I've bought twenty or thirty online in the last decade.

It's just a different world now.

Hadn’t heard this until now. I live about 15 minutes from the Huntington Station store, and have gone to the Westbury store a number of times. I drove past the Hicksville HQ today. Hope they stick around!
