Ground Floor Guitar Newsletter, Vol. 3
Big Announcement
The time has come for a big announcement from your friends at Ground Floor Guitar. Starting November 1, 2024, we will begin the transition to our new location at 1715 Cuming St. We will be joining spaces with Forged Woodworks inside the historic Automatic Printing Co. building. Our new space will have a beautiful showroom with new and used guitars, amplifiers, and accessories, but our workspace will grow tremendously and will allow Johnny to do more of the high-quality repair work that he is known for.
Along with Forged Woodworks and John Pitts, we intend to collaborate on our own line of products to sell and customize at our new location. Peyton Maas has become known as a master at building eye-catching furniture that is timeless with modern functionality. John Pitts has had his hands all over Ground Floor Guitar since the beginning, completing the buildout of both shop locations on Farnam, repairing amps, and building pedals to sell. It is our intention to bring you a line of reliable products crafted here in Omaha. Our four brains are cooking up a trove of ideas that we want to bring you, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.
On November 1, we will close the retail portion of our Blackstone location. We will not be taking in new repair jobs between October 29 and November 6. Please plan accordingly if you have a repair that needs to be addressed. The shop will otherwise remain open for drop off and pick up for all of Johnny’s luthier services starting November 7. If you’re still in the market for GFG wares, our webstore and Reverb shop will remain active and local customers will be able to pick up orders placed online. Once the new retail space is ready, the repair shop will begin its move to continue servicing your instruments.
Since Ground Floor Guitar opened our doors in 2016, we have made many friends in the Blackstone District. To all our neighboring businesses, we thank you for your friendship and support over the years. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the shop to help it become what it is today. To all our customers, your support has gotten us through the last several years of ups and downs and we can’t wait to see you at our new location.
Johnny, Joe, and Hank
