Chance's Blog

If you have wondered where my blogs have been lately, well I have been doing all my "blogging " on Facebook. It's just been a lot handier, but for those who follow this blog, we have exciting and HUGE news, we are now the Areas premier dealer of all the New Eko products. Yes that's right, and I am sure you remember the cheapo Italian guitars with a ton of character...well they aren't cheapos anymore...they have been updated to this new age, and almost all models are in stock for immediate shipping. YOU GOT QUESTIONS??? WE GOT EKO ANSWERS TOO.!!!      WHO CAN YOU TRUST ON-LINE??? DO YOU TRUST SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY ARE THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN "WHATEVER"??? fIRST, IF THIS PERSON SELLS ONLY ONE THING OR ONE BRAND ON LINE, THEN RUN THE OTHER WAY.  Helping all musicians with all their issues, is my job. If a person hides behind a help desk, or doesnt answer the phone, it doesnt seem to me, that they care very much about your needs. My policy is I will bend over backwards to help you, regardless of where you got your gear, I am here for you, and my 24 hour number is 319-561-0064, and yes I am constanly taking phone calls from over seas in the middle of the night, and I love it. Now go through their inventory, and see what they actually have in stock, if they are out of over half the products they advertise, how can you trust this? My inventory is in stock and can be seen on my website in an easy , organized way. How can you trust their "lower prices" if they dont have any stock, no stock equals, no credibility. Remember please "trust must be earned and not given freely". We work our tails off daily to earn your trust. Lastly warranties, we offer a 365 day warranty on all guitars sold, new or used.   Thanx for letting me rant.                                       WHEN IT COMES TO DANELECTRO PRODUCTS, WE HAVE MORE THAN ANYONE ON EARTH, now let's take a look at that statement, Do you know how big and wonderful this planet is?..., with THOUSANDS  of possibilities, how can it be that this one little shop in Iowa , has more Danelectro products than ANYONE ELSE??? answer: our dedication to the line , it's history, and it's future development, we have made thousands of new friends worldwide, who are also Dano enthusiests, THANK YOU ALL! We also offer other great instruments like Paul Reed Smith SE series, Ibanez, Daisy Rock,Hofner, Fender, Squier, and much much more, check back with us often and join us on facebook for specials not found anywhere else.
