I knew the previous owner/ founder of the company since I was a little kid but he just recently sold the business and retired. Back in the day he would have told me to take it and just pay on it what I could until it was paid off by a certain date. I get the impression the new owner isn't quite as 'trusting'. But I get it. Times have changed.
We used to walk out of there with thousands of dollars of equipment to try out on gigs to see if we wanted to eventually buy it on a handshake. Those days are long gone.
I had a situation like this, and it really worked well, but that was 35 years ago! Of all the guitars and gear I got, I returned one, a Rickenbaker, the very next day. He was clearly disappointed, but crap, I musta spent 5K a year there back then!
Just gotta say...
