Tortious Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Do a lot of retailers not bother to check their email or reply to email anymore? In the past month I've run into this twice. Odd. Maybe they are just doing so great that there is no need for them to make the slightest attempt at effort. 🙃 But the guitars I was asking about are still there. And it's not like I have a pressing need for more guitars, so when they can't be bothered, I can't be bothered to pursue it further. Quote
Steve Haynie Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Maybe they do all their communication on Facebook. 1 Quote
Tortious Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Possible. But if that's the case, they shouldn't have email addresses prominently displayed, or displayed at all. And that would exclude me anyway since I do not, and never will, have any social media accounts. I'm just gonna assume they're doing so well they don't need my business. Good for them. Quote
Tortious Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Michael Anthony on gear and cars: Quote "I wish I [still] had every car I've ever owned. You always see something that you think you'd like better. It's the same thing with music equipment, but you don't know it at the time, because you think, 'Hey, I like this now.' So you buy it, and then sometimes years later you look back and go, 'God, why did I get rid of that?'"

Tortious Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I saw a used guitar on GC's website in a store near me, so I went by there this week. I have another guitar with a rosewood neck, so this sort of interested me. It still had the plastic on the pickguard, 2017 serial number. Fortunately some noisy typical customer had just ceased his racket, so I was able to hear its, uhh, acoustic voice once they got it down for me. Sales kid: you want to plug it in? Me: no, I know what it sounds like plugged in. Wanted to find out if it was playable, mostly. Hit an open cord and some single notes around the first few frets. Everything ringing nicely. Has potential. Neck shape and feel as expected. Moved up the neck, getting some slightly plinky sounding notes from around the 8-12th fret area. Ok, maybe it needs a little adjustment. Put on my old bastard reading glasses and look it over. A bit of finish split by the neck pocket, body could stand to be polished, trem block appears to not be perpendicular. Neck looks reasonably straight. No fret wear. Not even ware. So why the plinky shit? Did a couple of bends around 12-15th fret and bam. Totally choked out. The last thing I need is another guitar, and certainly not one that needs whatever amount of work this would take to be made playable. So I didn't even have to try and beat them down on the price. Brought it up to the counter, showed them what it was doing. They didn't ask if I wanted to check it out after their tech fixed it or anything. I guess that's the way it is these days. No big deal, my interest in the matter had ceased. So my question is, why the hell do so many people not bother to leave feedback on Reverb? 🤬 Quote

diablo175 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I'll be damned. Practicing your ass off tends to improve your playing. Who'd've thunk it? Quote
