I can tell within an hour if a guitar is gonna suit me, and EVERY guitar I have bought new took some getting used to...just my opinion of course,

I don't see how you can tell if a guitar is for you in an hour. I bought a MIM Strat and LOVED it in the store, but the thing doesn't sound as good in a recording atmosphere as my Squier. I agree with Bob on this. If you pay that much for something I feel that it would be great to be able to try it out for more than an hour. Yes the 30 day period is enough, but I took a guitar back to sam ash because the switch bugged out in a week and it was an act of congress to get them to replace it.
You simply cannot test drive a guitar to fit your needs in a guitar shop. you have to have your own set up and hear it in YOUR environment. They only time I see an hour cutting it is when it's a kid choosing his first guitar.
