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.

If you have a squire that sounds good recorded, you have an exception...and MIM electronics and pickups are inferior...in an hour you can tell if the neck feels right to you, and in my opinion, that is foremost...I can modify almost anything on a guitar, but if it doesnt feel right, it's a lost cause...I do see what you are saying, but if you are looking in the 300 dollar range for recordable instruments, you are barking up the wrong tree
