re: #21 WindUpBird

Yes. Though I haven’t stepped into a Guitar Center in years, I just buy all my gear off eBay now. It was fun to go into their soundproofed drum room at the GC in Seattle (Or was it Musician’s Friend? Don’t even remember) and go nuts on their double kick Tama Artstar.

I still need to go in their for the misleading advice, and I enjoy fondling the Acoustic guitars.

But online purchase is better for devices I’m more familiar with, though I just never cottoned on to Ebay. I think I have some ‘learned helplessness’ around Ebay.
