Not trying to start a flame fest, etc., but some here have shown
interest in guitars. Well, I just got off of Musician's Friend.
Here's
what I ordered:

Played one at a local guitar shop, that was owned by one of the
repairmen there, and I've wanted it since!

Congratulations! Nice looking guitar.

Thanks....I'm stoked, I hope this one sounds as sweet as the one I
played. I've already picked the guy's brain, picked up the same
strings, etc. I also paid for overnight shipping!!!!


Only a novice would ever order a guitar online. *ALL* guitars, even the
quality ones, vary in feel, quality, sound, and playability within the
same
model line. You will never get the cream of the crop through an online
sale.

Blah, blah, blah.....sounds like a whiney elitist.....IF someone has
decent knowledge of guitar maintenence, repair and customization, the
end result will be just exactly as needed. Only a person incapable of
the above needs a guitar shop to hand pick their axe for them.


Most guitar shops don't do fine adjustments to instruments unless:

1) It's necessary before putting them on display
or
2) Someone buys a guitar and asks for changes to be made
