Local news morning show video
I got a call to be featured in the morning show local spotlight on our local news. So I said OK and then they informed me they would be here at 5AM to set up.......
Well, I got up at 4AM and we pulled it off. Here's what they aired on our local ABC news station:

http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/video?id=7325307" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They're not all that great sonically. And I'm no TV personality, thank God! But I smiled a lot. Enjoy.

No sleep for me! Ha ha.
I thought you guys might dig a look into our little shop. Hate to change any perceptions of a huge factory and warehouse though.

Re: Local news morning show video
"21st Century Business model.." Where do you learn such dirty words ?
I think its very old school: Provide a great product, great service, and great support, and work your ass off.
I´ve been hanging around for a while, and I´ve seen it grow, and seen how much work and dedication there´s behind it.
As you wrote one time, buying on the internet is a leap of faith, and Metro instills faith, not least through the loyal costumers, and the support you see in the Forum.
Good to see it´s going well, George. Nice Les Paul, great tones form the amp.

Very cool, George! Thanks for using the guitar in the video - I'm glad you like it - it sounded really good. I like the look w/o the pickguard too. Thanks, Joe

I am disappointed that there were no employees there choking on hot sauces at 5 AM. Sissies.
