Guitar Center was recently purchased by Bain Capital and the person who owns Bain Capital is none other than former presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. I was recently told from Guitar Center management that all Guitar Centers nationwide will discontinue the practice of accepting "bartering" on products from customers. In other words, no more dickering! None!! If Mitt and Bain Capital hold on to Guitar Center I think there is a possibility of turning things around for them financially. He has stated himself that every business venture he has undertaken has proven successful. Hopefully Guitar Center will be another feather in his cap he can boast about too.

Best,
Mike
