I've decided that the guys at the Big Box guitar stores play super fast, so you cannot really tell how far out of tune they are.
I think that half the guitars out there tune so badly, because there are so many cheap tuning keys put on these guitars. I end up in this strange position, where I continue to play a guitar I know I don't want. But you don't understand, it is staying in tune!!!
I just don't know. Used Gretsch CC, marked at $ 1,600. The thing is, it has acoustic (bronze roundwound, wound G) strings on it. How the
are you supposed to evaluate that? Employees don't know that the pups can't recognize a bronze string?
