Guitar Center - an Apple Reseller
As followup to a previous rumor... Guitar Center has indeed become an Apple Authorized Reseller, and has started offering Apple products in their stores.
According to Prosound News (print edition):
- "Beginning with Guitar Center's new flagship store in New York City, recording professionals in music, post production and other pro sectors will have a one-stop shop for purchasing everything necessary to create the complete digital recording environment."

This should've happened a long long time ago. Mac's are a key part of any legitimate or not-so-legitimate studio. Tapes are dead.
It'll be nice to actually buy ALL of my recording equipment at a Guitar Center. As opposed to some at a Guitar Center and some at a computer store. Moreover, Guitar Center employees get payed on commission, and they are usually willing to cut you a deal if you're going to blow a LOT of money (and they are willing to rip you off if you want to do the complete opposite).
Apple and Guitar Center will make money, and consumers will save money. Good all around :)

Unfortunately, they're not selling the eMac. That's BS.
Those are great little studio macs. GC needs to carry something that is under $1500... or under $1000 bucks.

As an "amateur" musician myself, I find this encouraging news!
i don't live in the US, but it is still good news.
we need more of that here in europe too, more macs everywhere, on TV, in stores, everywhere, people need to see them (in action) to buy them.
See my website (under construciton) for more on my musical antics.

i'm not sure what's going to be different. they have been selling apple stuff for as long as i can remember. in fact one day i went in and started playing with protools on a g4 and the keyboard wasn't working that was hooked up to it.. so naturally i fixed it and the manager came by completly flipped out because he spent all day trying to get it to work.. good stuff. good stuff.

For those who "bleck" on GC, there's always Sweetwater, which has carried Mac stuff for quite a while.
I find them both satisfactory and it is good to have multiple sources still, with Mars gone.

it is not encouraging,
i play guitar and Guitar Center has an awful service.
they didn't even know what a Vox amp was some days ago.As i was told by a friend.
I am afraid that the people who will ask for Apple could get VERY , and i mean VERY , dissinformed:mad:
