I often shop at guitar center, not because I like to, but because they have a 45 day return policy. Once, I took home and returned 5 guitars before finding one I like.
For me, sometimes it's hard to get a good feel for a guitar in a store. It's loud and and distracting and difficult to notice a guitar's true characteristics until you've had some good one one one time with it with an amp your familiar with.
I have become so picky that I refuse to accept any less than a pristine example of any given make/model. I am sure this is annoying to the manager, and I hate being a pain in the ass but If i'm paying for new guitar, I want to make sure that it isn't a dud. It also give me the advantage of being able to try out different brands and models to see whether or not they are for me instead of being locked into my first choice
My obsessiveness is what originally endeared me to PRS. As consumer I find their stellar QC to be their best characteristic.
Is anyone else like this?
