Sixx Gun Music Opened It's Brand New Showroom Today With A Rock'N Grand Opening Celebration Planned For Next Month In August!

 {July 1, 2025}

This morning, I headed out to the brand-new location for Sixx Gun Music. I call Sixx Gun the one-stop for everything guitars. The doors opened this morning at 10am to the public, with Sixx Gun planning an official grand opening celebration next month in August. Currently Sixx Gun is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am till 6pm.

Located just a few miles east of the Strip, and just south of Harry Reid Airport at 1651 East Sunset Road, Suite A101, Las Vegas, NV 89119

For Directions To Sixx Gun Music

When I first entered Sixx Gun's new showroom, it was like I stepped into Guitar Heaven!

When I say that Sixx Gun Music is your one-stop for everything guitars, I ain't kidding!

Sixx Gun offers a unique boutique of new and vintage gear, parts, and accessories. Guitars, amps, a full-service repair shop, lessons, workshops, custom builds, and more! Check out their website to see just what I mean. < Sixx Gun Music >

Sixx Gun Music is owned and operated by Master Luthier and Rock Star (Among many other titles in the music biz) Daniel Margasa, and his Music Accomplice in Life, Alicia R Anderson, and their next generation of everything music, Matt Goroshko and Angel Fonseca.

I'm telling you, these four very talented people not only know music, but they know the music business as well! 

Daniel, besides being a master luthier and an awesome musician, is the founder of Valkenburg Guitars and builds guitars under his own brand name, Margasa guitars.

Daniel and Alicia founded "The Las Vegas Guitar Trade Show" in November of last year.

At only 20 years of age, Matt is an accomplished guitarist and front for 5 Star Loser and for Klutchlok bands and is following in the family footsteps of building handcrafted guitars. 

And at only 18 (Just graduated from high school). Angel is what I call "The Keeper of the business", handling both the front and back ends of Sixx Gun. Marketing, social media, content & digital. He's there where he's needed!

What Are Musicians Endorsements And What Types Of Endorsements Are There?

 A few weeks ago, I attended the Las Vegas Drum Show at the Tuscany Hotel. 

As I walked by the exhibit booths, I overheard conversations about the drums, gear, and accessories, as well as discussions about endorsement deals. 

Most musicians are aware of what endorsements are and how they can benefit from having them. 

For today. 

I'll be talking mostly to the fans (And new artists to the music industry) about what endorsement deals are and what types of endorsements exist. 

What is a musician endorsement? 

A musician endorsement is a mutually beneficial partnership between an artist and a brand—usually a company that makes musical instruments, gear, or accessories. 

In this relationship:

The musician publicly supports or promotes the brand, often by using their products in live performances, studio recordings, and on social media.

In turn, the brand supports the musician by providing gear at a discount, for free, or even with financial compensation. They might also offer promotional opportunities (like featuring the artist on their website or social media).

{My Take}

It’s not just about “free gear”—brands expect visibility, credibility, and influence in return. They’re investing in artists who can help them reach more customers.

----------

Types Of Musicians' Endorsement Deals

Here is a breakdown of the different types of musician endorsements, from entry-level to top-tier Rock Star status.

Affiliate/Influencer Partnerships

Who it’s for: Musicians with a decent online following or niche influence.

What you get: Discount codes, affiliate links (you earn commission), sometimes free gear for content creation.

What you do: Promote products on social media, YouTube, or livestreams.

Product Endorsements (Entry-Level or Partial)

Who it’s for: Gigging musicians, small touring acts, music educators, or content creators with consistent engagement.

What you get: Discounted gear (artist pricing), early access to new products.

What you do: Use the gear publicly, tag the brand, maybe appear in company promos or online features.

Full Artist Endorsements

Who it’s for: Professional musicians, touring artists, or those with a strong regional/national following.

What you get: Free gear, sometimes custom equipment, and possible promotion on brand platforms.

What you do: Represent the brand exclusively in that category (e.g., only play their guitars or use their amps), be featured in marketing, and maintain visibility.

Signature Deals

Who it’s for: Established artists with major name recognition.

What you get: Custom gear designed with or for you (e.g., signature guitar, pedal, drumsticks), royalties on sales.

What you do: Collaborate in product design, help promote the gear heavily, and represent the brand at events or in media.

Sponsorships

Who it’s for: Artists with massive exposure (tours, big online presence, mainstream media).

What you get: Financial backing, tour support, heavy promotion, exclusive contracts.

What you do: Act as a brand ambassador, sometimes appearing in ads, events, or performing at brand-sponsored events.

{My Take}

Endorsements are not the same as sponsorships.

Endorsements usually involve gear, while sponsorships often involve money.

Endorsements and sponsorships can be game-changing for musicians—but they’re not just about free gear or bragging rights. These partnerships thrive on authenticity, professionalism, and mutual value. Whether you're just starting to build your brand or you're ready to pitch to major companies, focus on creating real relationships, being active in your scene, and consistently showing why you’re worth the investment.

Remember, the best endorsement deals come when you’re already endorsing the product naturally. Stay true to your sound, your style, and your journey—and the right brands will take notice.

For my next blog, I'll be talking about:

Till Then. Keep On Rock'N !
