frono, EXACTLY!! I'm a definite J. And someone who is overly P makes me crazy. I wish I was a little more P sometimes, but that is not the case...... :encouragement:

The longer I sit "testing" a guitar the more obvious it becomes that I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaking of test drives, particularly longer test drives:
"A customer walked in to Midnight Racing Auto in Pennsylvania last Saturday and asked for a test drive of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, CBS Pittsburg reports. General manager Jennifer Butler acquiesced, using the man's Lexus as collateral when she handed over the keys. She also got a copy of his license, as is standard procedure. Test drives normally last about 15 minutes, she told the man, who played the part by asking where potential customers usually go for these things. Well, after 30 minutes Butler was worried, and after an hour she called the police. Sure enough, the information left in the Lexus was not the man's, but that of the owner of the Lexus, which was also stolen."

Oh HOLY CRAP, Doc!! This is ME!!! LMFAO!!! Oh jeeze......The longer I sit "testing" a guitar the more obvious it becomes that I don't know what I'm doing.
One detail is bothering me: If Butler made a copy of the license, couldn't she see the man on it wasn't the customer? Or was he dumb enough to hand over his own license?.....
As a former car salesman I never did get why a dealership would let a car off the lot "unescorted" for any reason at all.
Al, like I said in another post (one of Woody's) with my Mary Chapin Carpenter line... "Sometime you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug."Sometimes you test the guitar, sometimes the guitar tests you.
I remember that one.Agreed.... and hoping it doesn't end as it did, for this poor Carmax salesman:

Well, the R. Taylor is headed back to me. The buyer says, "Not the sound I'm looking for." I offered a window for return. $130-40 (shipping both ways) is pricey for a sound test, although much cheaper than keeping it.Recently had a R. Taylor sell on Reverb that a number of local guys came and played and the average session was like an hour each. Everyone loved it and were going to be right back to me. LOL
I usually know within about 5 minutes whether an instrument will work for me and would never think of wasting my time or someone elses if I wasn't serious.
