I went to last year's festival and had a ball! Having it online is surely not much of a festival. Bought a ton of stuff at Sweetwater over the years mostly because the necks on their guitars seem to by a lot straighter and require less fretwork than other dealers. I was told by a Sweetwater manager that they reject 15% of the guitars that manufacturers send them.

Sweetwater's prices are pretty steep and I've been able to get my last 3 PRS guitars from local dealers at good discounts.
