Re: The Guitar Topic - B
Kwaping:
I am really kicking myself for waiting so long to get a 24" scale guitar. With my smaller hands, it really feels a lot better. It's like a breath of fresh air after struggling with my Strat for the last year. I can't wait till I wear out these 10-46 strings and can upgrade to 11s or 12s.
boneykingofnowhere:
So I feel like I have been lied to about how absurdly cheap guitars are in pawn shops. I walked to one today and go excited when i saw a 72 Thinline RI sitting on the counter, but it was maybe only like 20% cheaper than buying one new. Same story with a Fender Twin. I'll be damned if I'm dropping that kind of cash at a place where the staff presumably knows next to nothing about guitars and would probably not accept returns. Did the one I went to just suck or is that usually the case?
valley_parade:
I think a lot of shops do their research on guitars now and try to vaguely know their shit.
Regress:
I think in general with the sort of bubble that's come up around electric guitars in the past couple decades, that the days of finding cheap guitars in pawn shops is gone. Whether or not they know anything about guitars is a totally different question, but I would bet that they mostly just do a quick Google search when they come in.

My friends who works at a pawn shop tells me that besides them having a guitar guy on call, they generally at least do an ebay check to see what re-sell prices are like. Even when they do get cool stuff in, it's not much less than what you'd find on online auction sites or amazon anyway. They just got a fucking nice Rickenbacker bass but it's still expensive as fuck.
