Not to be rude but if you don't know this information by now, you really 
shouldn't be buying a music store. 

FYI, margins in the retail music biz are often very low. Guitars 
frequently sell for 10 - 15% over dealer cost. 

Here's a comparison. Select about 5 or 6 guitars from the inventory and 
price them out on Musician's Friend (www.musiciansfriend.com). See what 
you find out. Report back to us.
