Full review
I've just gotten turned on to Sweetwater through a friend of mine. This has to be the greatest thing on earth for musicians! It doesn't matter if you need simple instruction books or strings, top of the line guitars and amps on up to drums. I mean man, they really have everything that can be bought brand new! If it ain't there then you don't need to waste your time thinking about it! They'll ship to just about anywhere, anytime.
As if the selection of merchandise isn't enough, the prices are far better than any music store you can walk into. And because you can buy so much stuff here, even the important big items a musician needs like guitars or amps, Sweetwater won't even give the customer or FEDEX or UPS the tracking number. They track it themselves to make sure the items get to you and only you! This is due to the fact that people have been known to intercept tracking numbers through customers or the shipping company. Can't happen with Sweetwater because they keep an eye out until they are sure you have it. Then they'll even send a note making sure you got it!
Orders usually get to you within two weeks. As far as brands on the site, there are simply too many to list. They really carry every brand you can think of, Fender, Gibson, VOX, Gretch and on and on and on. When I say they have everything I mean it! Even down to guitar picks!
By the way, SHIPPING IS FREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
I just recently ordered a VOX AD30VT amplifier and it came quick with not a scratch on it. I'll definitely be a customer here for as long as I'm performing music. If you buy any musical items that you don't need within the next 5 minutes, you owe it to yourself to check out Sweetwater!
