shouldnt this be in the general music thread? This isn't exactly about 7 string guitars.

Regor · 01-04-2007, 10:07 PM

Every time I walk into a GC, and start talking to someone that works there.

Them: "What kinda guitar do you have now?"
Me: "Which one? I have 7. 5 7-strings and 2 6ers. 3 Ibanez 7's, one that I had to order directly from Japan because it was only available in a Vintage Violin color, which isn't metal, and has a piezo in the floyd. One Jackson 7-string flying V, made up like Randy Rhoads' guitar. An ESP LTD MF-207 with the skull and x-bone inlays, which I'm going to Rhino Liner the body. My main guitar is an '89 Jackson USA Custom which I had refretted with stainless steel frets, which now plays like butter. And an Epi ZW Les Paul that I replaced all the hardware with black, and put the real EMG-ZW set into."

I usually get this response

Here's mine right now.

The VV finish is PLENTY metal. You just have to know what to do with it.

I'm normally not that type of guy, but it happens so often anymore...pretty much anytime that I go into GC or Sam Ash it seems. Ever since I got my Mesa and my UV, it's kinda hard not to

Usually it's just instances of "Let me go get my guitar, everything here is crap." or when trying out a guitar, it'll be something like this:

Clerk: "Well what kind of amp would you want to hear it through?"
Me: "Whatever, it doesn't matter"
Clerk: "What's the closest to what you have now?"
Me: "Nothing here."

These situations are pretty typical for me. But the worst happened just a few weeks ago when I went to GC with my singer buddy who has a regular salesguy at GC (he drops MONDO bucks there, so he gets special treatment

). The salesman is kind of a wiseass guy, but he knows his shit. He was trying to get me to try out the new top of the line Mogami switched guitar cable that's like 150 bucks. I told him that I had no question at all that it would be a superior instrument cable to pretty much anything else, probably even justifying the price, but I didn't need to try it out. He said "Go out there and grab a guitar, plug it into an amp, dial in your tone, and I guarantee that you'll hear a difference with this cable compared to any other cable in the store." I told him "I KNOW the cable is going to be superior, but there isn't a possible configuration of amps in effects in this entire store that's going to get my tone." He kind of gave me the yeah right look and said "What do you have that's so spectacular?" I told him that I'm running a dual preamp setup using an 80s Mesa MkIII stacked with a Rocktron Chameleon with an Ibanez Universe and a T.C. processor. This whittled the smartass remarks to "Oh. Wow. Nice. So you know your shit then."

Don't get me wrong, he's a cool dude. It was just one of those, "I have to rub my gear snobbiness in his face to get him to stop hounding me" moments
