Re: The Guitar Topic - B

I named my Sheraton "Aoide" because I didn't like how blank the case looked, so I made this big elaborate collage of a woman playing a flute using masking tape and permanent pen. Aoide was the muse of songs in Greek mythology. It's pretty cheesy, I'll admit, but I like it. It's just pretentious enough to make me feel superior to everyone else in every way without making me too narcissistic. Or something.
And I'll heed your warnings against Guitar Center. Reason why I asked is because I live a thousand miles away from them and was oblivious to their notoriety. I remember Mogwai ranting about a guitar store in Glasgow and how rude and dickheaded they were. I don't get it, what causes this complex in guitar store employees?
BlahBlah:
Ha! I have been to that shop. I was just browsing through it quickly though.

I don't know, spending the whole of every workday listen to an endless loop of people half-assed shredding, thumb popping the bass and other unfortunate musique concrete~collage~barf~ diarrhea would certainly do it to me. If i have to spend more than 10 minutes on a Saturday I'm pretty ready to choke a bitch.

Hmmm... I never thought of it quite that way. I guess that's rather analogous to the days I used to work in a pretty popular live venue in DC and got so sick of bad college metal bands that I couldn't stand going to work and quit to take a much harder job with far less pay just to preserve my sanity.
doombilly:
Exactly. I have some empathy for those guys, but they've given me shet advice and ripped me off on the "warranty" so I am just glad when I leave.
