Musicians Friend seems to accommodate that approach to buy and try for 45 days, with just a return ship fee if the guitar turns out not to be one that can be bonded with. Since my local fender dealer only gives 7 days for a return, I spend as much time in the store with it as possible, albeit not the best way to get a complete feel and assessment. Of course the last few times I decided i wanted to go for a guitar at the local shop after playing over the course of a few days, it got sold out from under me...
The EJ I purchased was one I didn't want to miss out on, and that purchase is probably one of the better ones I've ever made. It turns out that if I go for another guitar down the road, it could be either another EJ or a Am Dlx.
