I visited Scituate Music Co. for the first time a couple of weeks ago along with a couple of other music stores in the South Shore area. Being from Florida I didn't know what to expect since all we have is Guitar Center and George's Music. Both are okay and I'm friends with people who work both places but they don't know too much about what they stock. I usually know more and tell them about what they're selling. Gerry knows more about guitars and equipment than ANYONE I've ever talked to in a store and I've been playing since 1967. He was somewhat direct and a little curt in the way he talked but I wasn't offended (I'm 57 and grew up in N.J.). His selection was amazing and he knew about everything I asked about. I was also impressed with his prices. A Tele that's selling for $1100 other places for only $900. I bought a Gretsch two weeks before I went to Mass. or I would've walked out with that baby. The other stores I visited were okay and the employees friendly but they didn't have the selection or the prices or the knowledge that Gerry has. Just don't go in with an attitude and accept the fact that he's an expert and like all experts, he's very opinionated. It doesn't mean you have to agree with him. I would have given him 5 stars except there's not enough room for the merchandise. But I'm buying my next guitar from him.
