Guitar Center to Pay Off Debt by Selling Banjos

[RBMB]

Sacramental, CA. Guitar Center has announced that it plans to pay down its over One Billion dollars of debt by reviving banjo sales. Senior executive, Bamboo Harvester Ed, described plans to raise profits through sales of high margin, high-end banjos. Mr. Ed, speaking at Comic-Con, stated: “Our focus groups found that teenagers prefer playing bluegrass banjo to video games 5:1. By investing in this new market, we think we can shatter revenue and profit targets.” In response to questions, Captain Tony Nelson pointed out that “banjos have a proven history of strong sales, having taken over the mandolin market overnight.” Media is requested to address questions to Tim O’Hara or Uncle Martin at MFM@UHF.com.

now that's funny. considering they won't set up a guitar you buy from them for free. now they want to do the same thing with banjos. they have no clue what a banjo or a mandolin is. that would be the last place I would ever buy a banjo, wait a minute I did. brand new Gibson RB-250 that they were giving away at $1,600.00. it did need a tuning machine, I guess some dumb kid did not know it was so heavy, about 15 pounds.

Well, when Cee Cee LeRheau, that noted 17 year old bombshell from south Philly, had the YouTube video of her latest hit "Banjo Boppin' Mutha" go viral you new it was just a matter of time. She must have laid out forty bad ass thugs with that mastertone and never broke a sweat.
