Title: RIC dumps GC...again
Post by: Dave W on August 12, 2020, 06:43:12 AM

Rickenbacker guitars stops accepting orders from Guitar Center and Musician’s Friend (https://guitar.com/news/industry-news/rickenbacker-guitars-stops-accepting-orders-from-guitar-center-and-musicians-friend/)

I don't blame them.

The final sentence is a mistake. It's only GC's Hollywood store that reported a 3x increase.

Rickenbacker is really a small shop , they're still dealing with a considerable backlog .
And they've always had their own way of doing things .
We don't have GC or Musician's Friend up here in Canada , but the general feeling I have is that they've been in trouble for a long , long time .
Sometimes the inevitable is inevitable .
