Billy Jackson
(advertising/marketing/promotions)

Don't let the fancy title fool you into thinking he's that iBilly Jacksonimportant. He knows a lot about guitars and amps too. In fact, you're likely to see him on the floor talking about his favorite amp of the day, and there's a chance you'll be directed to him when you have a question about which pickups to put in our guitar or what speakers should go in your amp. I think the store thought the abbreviated title A.M.P. meant he was the new amplifier guy. No matter, he loves his work, so he's happy to talk about anything related. If you have an idea, an event, an opportunity where Corner Music can assist, give Billy a ring or email. He'd love to talk with you.
