Manny’s Music, long a landmark in New York City, recently unveiled The Guv’nor’s Suite, a newly designed section of the 48th street store dedicated to “The Sound Of Rock,” Marshall Amplification. Featuring the largest selection of Marshall amps in Manhattan, including the new 350 Watt MODE FOUR amplifier, The Guv’nor’s Suite has individual demo stations complete with guitars and stools so players can “test drive” the Marshall of their dreams. The finishing design touch is an eye-catching industrial style “girder” with the Marshall logo, suspended from the ceiling above the center display.

The Guv’nor’s Suite was designed to provide a player-friendly setting for auditioning Marshall amplifiers and a knowledgeable sales staff to answer questions and help customers choose the Marshall that’s right for them.

Executive Vice President Sam M. Ash elaborates: “For four decades and counting, Marshall has been the amplifier of choice for professionals guitarists around the world. Since Marshall first appeared in the States in the early 1960’s during the British invasion, Manny’s has always been the place to go in New York for Marshall. We worked very closely with Marshall’s U.S. distributor, Korg USA, to create an interactive space that not only raises the visibility of Marshall on the sales floor but also allows our customers to try the Marshall amp of their choice in a user-friendly environment. It is very gratifying to work with a company that has as much passion for the products and the name as we do.”
