Last Saturday, the 4th, we opened our doors to the public for the first time. Building the Laboratory has been a sometimes difficult and always challenging undertaking, and it was greatly rewarding to finally let customers browse the store.
And that is by no means the end of building. This week, dozens more Schecter guitars arrived, along with a huge selection of fine straps and cases from Levy's.
So, the lights are on, the door is open, and we're happy to say we're in business. But this is only the beginning!

Warped Tour 2007
On Friday, August 3rd (one day prior to our opening date), Laboratory staffer Aaron Barbarics and myself manned a tent provided to us by our trade organization, NAMM. The tent was situated amongst the array of vendors set up at the Philly area stop of the Van's Warped Tour. The purpose of our tent was to provide an area where concert goers could get their hands on some instruments and jam out. Sort of like an all-day open mic for the entire horde of young rockers.
Baking in the hot sun from 8:45 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. is not usually a treat, but the enthusiasm of the folks who stopped by made the time go quickly. We're very much hopeful we can do the same thing again next year. Perhaps next time we can cram a little PA system into that tiny tent, so there can be vocals. At least, I think that's a good idea...
Here are some shots from the tent:
