I went to Guitar Central on Van Ness (SF) yesterday. I was looking for a Floyd Rose to fit in my MIJ Squier.
First time in this place and it was a blast. I got to plug and play several Epi LPs and a couple of Gibson ones. Held a Charvel EVH Red Stripe (they are very light!), cool pala yung Drop-D Tuna. All the high-end LP and PRS were so high, you had to have a ladder to reach them.
The trip to the store was well worth it. My son who plays violin and piano wanted to buy an electric like his dad. Fortunately, for $99, there was the Squier Mini. So, I ended buying one, black in color. Told him he can play and look like Clapton.
I told my son that I will give my guitars when the time is right. Looks like my dream of being a guitar god will transfer to my son.
