close to 4th of july so GC is getting crazy..headed out to get a daphne blue squier, even though i found one that was great..the tuners..again its the tuners..although i could get a CV or VM squier i wanted a more beefy neck..which i found in a used fiesta red fender corona with matching headstock..but it was freaking reserved..
so looking for something different than the stuff i have..tried some sterlings that was just not made right..and some of the MIM fender t's just required some fretwork that i just dont want to deal with...and then the asst mgr..said they were unboxing some gibbys..i got to try some standards that just didnt feel right..the finishes were awesome but again if it doest feel right in the end i wouldnt like it that much..i had that fiesta red fenders sound spanky sound in my head that none of the prs's and gibbys i tried were up to that sound..a woody open sound!..i tried upping an offer for the fender fiesta..but it was a sealed deal..
feeling low i headed to the acoustic room, i tried some Great Divide acoustics..they sounded real good. the sales guy said they were from the company that was clearing out inventory..it explains why they were new @ 99USD..even the junior sized ones..which i kinda liked and i was about to pay for the junior acoustic, jason another sales guy was there gave me a better offer..170 for a baby taylor..despite its size..it was louder and was better in construction!..paid for it and now i got me an acoustic! lol Taylor BT-1
funny thing as i was hanging out in the effects section(wanted to get a digitech rp1000)..dan the mgr found me and was like 'i think you should see these', i assumed it was the lp standards and i said i tried those..he declined its the 60's tribute studios..i got to try those when they first came out..they had four pcs out in different colors..the faded cherry burst was buzzing like [gooey brown stuff], and the black and white needed some work done on the frets that when you bend your notes it was scratching like you'd feel your strings over sandpaper..now the next one was the one! it matched the sound in my head..out of the box it is a 9/10 sure i had to TUNE it lol,..but other than that you guys should check these out..paid
500 bucksfor it for the holiday event
