I'm thinking about opening my own music store. I know what I like to see in a local music store. What attracts you to a local music store?
Also, I've been working in music stores since I was 16, so i'm not really interested in hearing "you know how hard it is to run a music store today?" Yes, I do.
Having the guitars on shelf in tune or at least set up decently. I remember trying a Jackson Kelly in a store one time and the action was set so low that the strings wouldn't ring at all and I mean like dead mute.
Also, a good up-to-date website is a must these days, even if you're not offering online shopping. I mean, sometimes it's fun to go to a store and see what they have to offer but if I'm looking for something specific then if I don't see your shop offering what I have in mind when I google a certain product then there's a 99% I'll just end up using Thomann or any other major online shopping site.
