It's not too often these days that a major new music gear shop comes online, but sometime in the last few days GearNuts.com appeared – they said their official launch was last Friday.
In the interests of disclosure I must point out that they have agreed to do some advertising on GuitarSite.com, but I would have written this up in our news even if that wasn't the case, because it's newsworthy.
They had a “buy 1 get 2 free” deal on guitar strings, but according to their website it went viral (fairly easy to see why) and they've run out of stock and had to pull the promotion.
On the bright side however, GearNuts.com has a big Ibanez promotion that is still running with $3900 worth of prizes. There will be two winners – the first will get an Ibanez Limited Edition JS20S Joe Satriani 20th Anniversary Signature Model. The second winner will receive an Ibanez Soundgear SR series bass, and an Ibanez P5110 Promethean 250-watt bass combo amp.
