Even Though We're Closing Our Doors,
We Want You to Keep On Rockin'!

An Open Letter from Keith Longsworth

Owner of B Sharp Guitars

Dear Loyal Customers,

After 14 years of serving local musicians, I've decided to retire and close our doors. On behalf of all of us here at B Sharp Guitars, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers for many great years here in Fort Wayne. We will certainly miss all of you.

As a business, B Sharp Guitars has always been a personal passion. I've had an enjoyable time providing great instruments, customer service, and music lessons to musicians throughout northeastern Indiana. Taking care of your guitar needs has been a real pleasure. Staying true to our company's values, we encourage you to consider our friends at Sweetwater for all your future gear needs. We've always had a friendly, mutually respectful relationship. I feel my customers should continue to have the best sales and service possible in this region. Sweetwater has an outstanding customer-centric approach to doing business, and I encourage you to check out their retail store.

I'm also pleased to announce that B Sharp sales employee Brian Lemert, a long-time fixture in the Fort Wayne music community, has already been hired by Sweetwater, as have many of the B Sharp lesson instructors. Also, Dale Bender, one of the region's premier guitar repair specialists will now be offering his services through Sweetwater. He is an authorized repair technician for multiple brands, including Martin and Fender guitars.

It's been awesome getting to know all of you over the years, but it's time for something new. I want to say thank you to Ft. Wayne for many great years of support, and I'm pleased that the legacy of B Sharp is now part of the Sweetwater family.

— Keith Longsworth, Owner of B Sharp Guitars
