Mash94 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 It was amazing!! I got to try out the traditional and fell in love with it! The neck feels perfect in my hands and the Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish was stunning. I also saw and got to play a silverburst just like Silverbursted's and saw an R9 just like Tim's (ok maybe not as beautiful but you get my point) that was unfortunately out of my reach and no one wanted to help me (damn this 14-year old body). the only thing I didn't like about the traditional was the TRC but that can be removed. Let the penny-pinching begin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnstrom Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Point and Say "I want it!!! I want it..... I want IT!!!!". See if that works if not. Scream WHERE IS THE MANAGER while playing another guitar as loud as it can go. Seems to work for me anyway. =D>/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson CS Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Actually I just got back from GC, I also played the traditional and was REALLY underwhelmed. I'm trying to figure out why, I played a Standard, Custom and a BFG too. Loved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] I disagree, if the guitars were for buyers only it would be a totally different store. They can not let you play a guitar like they did with mash. They have no problem letting people dink around and if you actually want to hear an amp or guitar they ALL have quiet rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thats one of the main reasons I don't buy customs or anything of real value from GC I don't want a R9 that 500 kids with gas and no money have been playing every two hours because someday they want one. They lock those guitars up for a very good reason. I looked at a nice R0 in a GC a few weeks backs and it had dozens of heavy scratches from a watch or ??? and belt buckle rash like a well gigged guitar. They had it discounted several hundred dollars and will never sell it for full cost. Now the kid that did that (a 16 year old per Mgr.) should be working there till it's paid for and the salesman that let him should have been fired, and the kids parents should be smacked up side the head for not raising the kid right. Theres a lot of luxury items you can't try before you buy and guitars should be in that category until your at the stage of pay for it or walk away.

When you get your driving permit in 2 weeks, walk into your nearest Dodge dealer, feed them that line, and see if they let you take a HEMI Charger for a rip. After all, if the cars were for buyers only... Make sure to post some pictures of you doing donuts in the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
