american musical supply and zzounds are pretty good as well with the finance options. just don't usually get as much boutique stuff as sweetwater does

I've had good experiences with Musician's Friend, and with great deals. I've gotten two great guitars from them in the past few months at $150 and $200 off (for $300 and $350 respectively).

That said, I'd love to go to a GC in person and try before I buy. Just...not during a pandemic.

Right, now that you mention it I think I knew that but had forgotten. Not sure how it affects me, if at all, though...

AFAIK they also own American Musical Supply, ZZSounds, Woodwind & Brasswind, to name a few.
