It was awesome. They are like their business cards so they don't really mind giving them away.

    Love this, esp. being a female. It’s so true, you get hit on, judged, or ignored.
    But, the worst I always have is going in the room full of classical and acoustic guitars, and they’re atrociously out of tune. Ask for a tuner and I always get the “We don’t have one,” or, “You know those are classical right?”

      Tom Morello warranties are a great way to protect against accidents. My rule is pick an amount that you can easily come up with to replace a piece of equipment if it fails, mine is $150, any gear that costs more than that get the warranty. That amount or less no warranty. That simple.

      That's why the luthier perk and ebay can be your friend in cases like these. GC goes by that dreaded commission pay roll like a dealer because they're trying to get rid of their inventory, but generate a small profit to pay these saps a living wage. I'd be fired within a week for BS reasons like telling them the truth/secrets of fixing a broken instrument without busting the bank, guitar lifehacks, and work with the customer's needs instead of throwing random stuff they can't afford/suits their needs just to be on top of the sales board.
