Personally, I would never buy a guitar online. I recall playing over 30 Les Paul's at a Guitar Center and only about two felt good straight off the wall. Guitars, properly packed and insured, are a nightmare to return if I got one and it felt like crap to play. Just my opinion.
Not sure where you're seeing this but, since Bapu got to keep his post count from the prior forum, it's just going to be him at the top for eternity, ya? ?
(Just add the 40k I lost to my total and I'm still waaaaaay behind Ed! ? )
Here's the irony: I consulted to Verizon Wireless for over seven years and was on the team that brought the internet to their cellular phones! It was called 1xRTT back then (I guess they didn't think they'd upgrade to future generations, ya?). ?
