GUITAR CENTER
My fucking god...further proof as to why I would never buy a guitar from that fucking hell hole factory...I went down with Cutter to help him pick up a guitar since I promised him that I would teach him a few chords before I ditch town...
And my god...who's working at this place??? The sales guy thought that I should be really impressed by the fact that he went to Berklee and "never had a single lesson in my life." Cutter was just like, "Yeah she graduated from Berklee." I turned to the guy and said, "Frankly, they let anybody in who's willing to pay the money."
That seemed to momentarily put him in his place...that is, of course, until we had to return the fucking guitar two hours later beacuse we got it home and discovered that it had a broken bridge. The guy said (when we came back to return it), "Yeah, it's used." So, you're telling me that you are now selling defective merchandise without telling your customers...just hoping that they are too rock dumb to know the difference....we were finally able to get it exchanged...after about an hour of waiting for the guy to figure out how to do a freakin' return...
Further proof as to why I would never buy a guitar there...thank god for all the privately owned axe shops on Sunset Blvd...I don't know what I would do if I were forced to buy my 12-string at Guitar Center (even if it is the one out in LA)...Down with the man and chain corporations!!! All hail the privately owned business...

Back when JD bought his SG JD and I trekked out to Guitar Center so that he could get it adjusted. I'm not exactly sure of the term, it's sort of like when you get your bike tweeked the frist time you get it. Anyhoo...we were told that the guy who does it only comes in once a week and he would have to wait a week to get his guitar back. So we left and went to Daddy's Junkie music where they performed the same service and got it to you the next day no matter what day of the week it is.
P.S. You've been hard to get a hold of via the phone. You can't leave before I had a chance to properly say goodbye!!!!
