Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Guitar Players: Sweetwater

Bought a Tone Master Amp from them a few years back

Nice Les Paul! I have a black Epiphone Les Paul Standard, and to my mind, it plays and sounds as well as anyone’s Gibson. I’d wager yours does too.

We do all of our musical electronics gear for church through Sweetwater. GREAT customer service and selection of equipment. I don't shop anywhere else because they don't mess around. They make sure it's RIGHT and it's what you need. If you don't know exactly what you need, you tell them what you want to do and they tell you what you need to do that, and a different price points, though I'm a "buy once, cry once" shopper.

GREAT company to do business with. Outstanding customer service. I give them my business whenever possible. One of the rare companies anymore that acts like they actually give a $hite about customer satisfaction. AND they throw a bag of candy into the box with each order. I don't eat candy but appreciate the gesture (so do my niece and nephew).

I have bought a number of things through Sweetwater. They back up their products with a 2 year warrantee even if that is more than the manufacturer offers. The also assign an associate to your account so they check in with you about every 5-8 months. I still have the same associate who was originally assigned to me a number of years ago. Good folks to do business with.

Nice! Ever hear of Ola Englund? He has a YouTube channel and does videos on how to make almost any guitar/amp “chug”. I bet you wouldn’t have a hard time making that chug! This strat took some work:

I've played for many years. Sweetwater is one of the best if not the best retailer out there. I now only buy a guitar that I can put my hands on and play. I only play in church now and sometimes it's a rock show. Mostly play a stratocaster with humbuckers. LOL. During sound checks I'll cut loose with some Bryan Adams, ACDC, Led Zepplin, ZZ Top, Skynyrd etc.....................It's fun and the youngsters just look and say " show me how to play that " . Never to late to learn. Start with a acoustic like someone said earlier. Develop calluses etc, Lots of good lessons on the net.

I watch Ola from time to time. He is pretty funny... it will chug.

I have wanted a guitar since "who flung a chunk", but it never happened.
Christmas 2010, my wife carried me to a local, small town guitar shop.
I picked up a little cheapie Kona for a C note and went to work. No lessons, just help from the store owner who ran an acoustic jam every Thursday night in Comanche, Oklahoma.
When I FINALLY got "it" enough to sing and play some "fake note" stuff, I stepped up to a Fender.
Gave the Fender to my eldest and started playing her Epiphone.
Wife hauled me back to the same guitar shop.
Allen had a Martin "Custom" hanging in his shop.

I wouldn't take for my Martin, or the one I swapped for an AR.

BTW! Nice looking Epiphone! Hope it's all you hope for.

I'm 72, I'll never be a Chet Akins or a Les Paul, but I make me happy! 😃

BTW! If any of you knew Allen Wooten of the "Cowboy Opry" in Comanche, Oklahoma, he passed away of COVID in December '21! 😥

Have never bought a guitar from Sweetwater, but have bought a lot of other instrumental/audio stuff. Excellent sales people and never a problem with their products or service. Visited their store once to pick up something when driving through IN - impressive place.

Purty guitar, but he forgot to top wrap those strings.

Sweetwater is great, buy a lot of stuff from them for work.

Here is the closest thing I have to a '59

Those are nice guitars.

I had planned on buying a Gibson LP, played probably 20+.

Guitar center had one of the Epi ‘59 reissues, I liked it better so bought it.

Killer flame on the LP! Looks great!!!
