Cheaper prices
Years ago music stores were the mom and pop kind, maybe not the best prices in the world but at least you were treated like a living being. Everybody wanted cheaper prices some here come the big boys, cheaper prices and no service at all. You can feel your change hit you in the ass on the way out the door. X has LES PAULS for $999, but wait, Y has them for $ 989. Buying a musical instrument use to be a big deal, now its like buying hamburgers, move em in, move em out. I hope the real music stores stay around, I d on't care if they are a little higher priced, at least you know what you're getting.
