By Jonathan Randles Guitar Center Inc. has been cleared to exit bankruptcy with a plan to cut about $800 million in debt and provide the nation s largest seller of musical instruments with an infusion of cash to navigate the pandemic and holiday shopping season. Judge Kevin Huennekens of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Richmond, Va., said Thursday he would confirm Guitar Center s prepackaged chapter 11 plan, paving the retailer s path to get in and out of bankruptcy in less than a month. Guitar Center, which entered chapter 11 with more than $1.3 billion in debt, anticipates emerging from bankruptcy as soon as next week, a company lawyer said.
