Thinking of opening a guitar business - suggestions?

My friend asked a guy in the local music shop how much it was for a Gibson SG standard and the bar-steward replied with "Too much for you!!" and walked off laughing. Don't be like that!!

I like the idea of stocking amps that no where else has but surely there is a reason why loads of shops stock Marshall etc.

I'm not sure I made it clear in my post that Sound Control looked really nice and impressive, but looked more like a showroom or museum than a guitar shop, it kinda said 'come in and look around' but it didn't say 'buy stuff'. Where as I have difficulty leaving my local shop without buying something!

all three aren't bad ideas, but you might need a business plan first.
