Understood. However, it does not excuse negligent and reckless advice... I feel bad for little Timmy coming in for his birthday guitar so he can improve.
I've heard GC Mooks tell little Timmy and his Mommy that (insert $150 guitar here) is best for him to learn on. WOW!
What about action, fit, instruction, string gauge, understanding his instrument, did he start properly, can he play an acoustic well BEFORE he moves onto an electric, listening to Timmy play first THEN advise??? WTF?
Nothin... Get this guitar, it's cool and he'll be set for years. And then when Timmy gets home, has action and fit problems, is no better than before and complains OR WORSE: Stops playing because he's frustrated and Mom says "well the nice salesman at GC knows what he's doing sweetheart, are you sure it's not something you're doing wrong"?
Dude... That's F'ng Wrong. And it happens evey damn day at that place. But you're right: Gotta make the numbers...
BTW: I think this post is for amusement more than anything else BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY!!
Pros and intelligent, well informed buyers are protected from these mooks. What about Timmy?
