Guitar Center ABG Pringle...

[Big Hoss]

So I went to Guitar Center to pick up some strings and picks for my BIL yesterday.

While we were there, my lovely bride was checking out accoustic guitars, so I figured I would take a look at the few ABGs they had in stock. There were 3. A Fender, an Ibanez, and a Dean. The Fender and the Ibanez were okay, not great but okay. The Dean though. Wow.... That poor neck was curved like a Pringle. Action so high you could nearly bungee jump off the strings...

Why oh why do they leave these things like that as demos?

Because they don't care.

They're also not demos. They're brand new basses being sold as brand new for brand new prices. Any banana-ing or pringling of the neck is erroneous.

Apathy is the Great Liberator. If the corporation doesn't care (and they're incapable of caring, generally), the individual worker has to follow suit or lose their sanity / job.

Those deans are crap. They're probably all like that

^^^ This!! I don't remember ever playing an instrument at Guitar Center that was actually set up well. A lot of them are scratched and/or damaged as well.
