guitarstrummer Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Music Villa in Bozeman, home city for the Gibson acoustic factory. http://www.musicvilla.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgwoods Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Fullers worked for me- their phone price is much lower than the price on the website. Jeremy did right by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayla Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Music Villa in Bozeman' date=' home city for the Gibson acoustic factory. http://www.musicvilla.com/[/quote'] Unless I've missed something (entirely possible), there don't appear to be any guitars featured on the Music Villa website. Is that the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, since they are the factory showcase dealer in Bozeman, their stock is always top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the case?[/quote'] i was on there the other day hoping to glim an sj200. was very disappointed to be unable to view any of their inventory (i had forgotten they don't post their stuff as i stopped visiting the site. i mean, why would you?). i wonder how much more business they would do if they did post their stuff. when i was looking to buy a roy smeck re-issue, i'd seen one on fullers site but called music villa to see what they had as a comparison. they had one from the same limited run, kindly emailed me some pics and quoted me significantly over a grand more than what i finally paid fullers for the one i bought. every guitar i've bought from fullers, i've spent some time lusting/drooling over the images on their web site for a bit before committing. don't mean to slag MV but i guess if you want to sell guitars to folks outside of montana, you should step up your game. i'm sure the measly thousands of dollars i've spent at fullers over the last 2 years wouldn't mean much to MV. sorry if this sounds like a rant. it isn't meant to be. i'm sure they're very fine folks over there. and if i'm ever in montana, i'll be sure to stop in, take a look around and if i see something i can't live without, i'll call jeremy at fullers.

I've tried to view MV's site and was dissapointed that they don't list their stock or have pictures. If I was to buy a new Gibson, Fullers would most likely get my business.

guitarstrummer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The reason Music Villa (and many other Gibson dealers) doesn't list their Gibsons on their internet site is because they are not a Gibson "Internet Dealer". Gibson limits the number of dealers who are authorized to advertise on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Gotta agree with Jannusguy. The site is a disappointment, regardless of the reason. It's hard enough when you can't play them in person, but when you can't even see them... well that's just buying a pig in a poke, as my folks would say. And again, not to take anything from MV, because I do hear great things about them. I'm just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
