HACKETTSTOWN LIFE

My wife had a great idea...to let the great people of Hackettstown, NJ know about our store and sound system rentals on the website at www.hackettstownlife.com
I put some of our new SCHECTER guitars in the classifieds and one of our used Epiphone Les Pauls in there as well.

As soon as I finished posting, I got a call about our teaching staff at the store.....wow, talk about a busy website.

I highly recommend using this site for discussion and Q&A.
