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.

GC owns musician's friend, fwiw

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.
