    Looks like it. From their site:


    Wymore Guitars is Closing for Business!!

    That's right, after almost 10 years in business I have decided to move on to bigger and better things!!

    We will be taking a short vacation this week and then we will be re-opening the website with some great liquidation deals on all remaining stock on hand. We will also maintain our Ebay store for a few weeks to help with the liquidation process. All payments for liquidation items will need to be either PayPal or Money Order. No credit card orders will be accepted since we will be shutting down our merchant accounts.

    If you have any questions while the store is closed please e-mail us at: sales@wymoreguitars.com

    Thanks much to all the our customers who have been supportive of our business over the past 10 years. We appreciate your support!!

    That sucks. I was getting ready to order some stuff. I'll have to make sure I get in when the site is reopened.

    This is highly disappointing! I only discovered Wymore a few months ago, I've bought three times, and I was looking forward to many more purchases.

    I used to buy Duncans from Guitar Heaven in Tennessee. Then they closed. I was waiting for a killer Duncan dealer to come around. I thought Wymore was going to be it for me.

    Oh well, Good luck to the Wymore folks on whatever they do next.

    Well ****. They're always had top-notch customer service, and great prices to boot. I'm sad to see this.

    I saw that earlier today, it really sucks. The thing I loved best about Wymore is that they always had cheap shipping to Canada. Usually only $4-5 depending on the item, where most other places charge $10-15 for shipping (which is a ripoff for snail mail). Looks like I'll have to find a new favourite place to buy guitar stuff.
    You can run over a Tele with a pickup truck, pick it up - and it'll still play out of tune

    I will miss this store, not because of the great personalized service that they have, not because of the great deals and components they carry, but because John is a friend and a fellow SD forum member!

    John was great to deal with. I've ordered several times from him and he was always a pleasure to deal with and his service has always been top notch! He will be missed for sure.

    Saw the site last night. And just when I get a P-90 loaded guitar that will surely need a re-mag!

    +100 to grabbing the magnet stock and making them SD forum inventory. I'd chip in for that action. Pots & switches wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
