Boston Guitar Center moving

[bostonwal]

Just saw today that the Boston Guitar Center will be moving to 1255 Boylston St on March 14. Apparently they've got deals to blow stuff out from now until the move. Of course, that was the first time I'd been in there in a long time and was more than happy to leave when I did.

I wouldn't doubt they are moving. They have an offsite warehouse. Probably not fun to deal with in a city like Boston.

1255 Boylston St, the old WBCN location. Right near fenway.

Great spot for them, especially in the summer with plenty of traffic in the area.

No way!!!! I was just in there and I was talking to Heath, and didn't hear a thing about it. I live across the street from the new location!!! This is HUGE news!! Fantastic!

 

[Timster]

this is good new.. I hardly go to their current location since it's a pretty long drive

Not Boston Guitar Works (Heath).... The GC in Boston is what's being referred to, correct?

 

[teleking36]

awww jeez. just realized that. that sucks!

Now Boston Guitar Works in downtown Boston would be AWESOME! Too bad you practically need to remember your passport to visit the store in Brockton.

Except that the current location has the T stopping right out front of it. The new location will be a significant walk from the T and I'm not sure what the parking situation will be either. At least you have those 15 or so spots in the garage next door at the current spot.

 

[teleking36]

I actually think the parking will be a little better in the new location. That parking garage at the current GC is basically useless.

 

[jaycee]

Did you say blowouts? That could be nice. I agree the current parking situation sucks. Interesting news.

Boston Guitar Works did have a downtown location several years ago, near Northeastern University. It didn't fly

Our kybd player owns a recording studio at 1260 Boylston, so I've had to park in that neighborhood a lot - not a big improvement imo. If there's a game in town, fuggedaboudit!

Agreed. Parking will suck, or continue to do so. Anybody remember Eu Wurlitzer on Mass Ave across from Daddy's and next to Berkeley Music? Always liked that shop...

Damn, I remember when Wurlitzer was in the 360 Newbury St building (Best Buy/Tower/Virgin buidling). How about LaSalle Music on Boylston next to Jack's Drum Shop? Even Jack's left last year.

So what's BU building this time?

Damn, I remember when Wurlitzer was in the 360 Newbury St building (Best Buy/Tower/Virgin buidling).

I bought a 67 tele there in 85. They were asking $650 for it. I talked them down to $600. Still have it. Blond, maple neck with the transition logo.

 

[thesweetness]

anybody been to the new location yet?

Was EU Wurlitzer the shop that moved out by BU in the late 80's?

I've heard there's a new shop opening around the Boston area called the Axe Palace-
maybe more metal, but........a new store is a new store
