Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

That's cool. Many shops don't do that - or charge extra for it these days. It's usually about $100 extra.

Sweetwater has a 50-something point inspection, but only for guitars over a certain price - and it should NOT be considered a set up. It's nothing of the sort. It's just basically making sure nothing's broken.

That is the last time I bought a guitar from a guitar store. I have no clue what they offer these days, though the store I bought my guitar from closed down when the long time owner retired, one of the guitar salesmen opened his own guitar shop and a piano salesman opened a piano store in the same location the music store had always been, it just got divided up into separate entities. The guitar shop doesnt seem to mind the one or two times a year when I stop in there and plug in a guitar to an amp and crank it to ten and make noise for a couple minutes and then leave LoL

Nah, good shops don't mind. They figure you'll eventually come back. These days, they might worry that you're just testing a guitar to buy it online - but guitars are individually different, so the online version may not be the same as what you played in the store. So, buying the one that speaks to you the loudest is often a good choice. Narrow down your selection online, and then buy in person.

I'd suggest sending your guitar in for a good cleaning, reconditioning, and set up. You're not gonna spend that kinda money on it, but I bet your guitar would love it.

You know I ain't going to send it out for that!
