The Law
This quirky restriction is a remnant of South Carolina's old religious 'Blue Laws,' which dictated what commercial activities could take place on the Sabbath. While exemptions have been carved out for items like food and light bulbs over the years, musical instruments were historically deemed unnecessary for Sunday trading. You'll have to wait until Monday to buy that new guitar.
