Man, that is happening in music stores now? I know they say it's not that bad, but I have never wanted one. If I see a dude coming at me with an out of tune gibson flying V, I'm covering up and hauling tail out of there.

nah the thingy is not happening we just had a guitar duel since i had a Dean in my hands so i outshredded the guy that was on a out of tune Flying V then beat his $@! with a small marshall

Good guess Armadillo!
An out-of-tune Flying V could vasectomize one in seconds.
It´s funny to me ´cause I underwent the procedure last year.
They just said, -ah, 40 years. And two kids? Sure! walk this way...

yeah it was out of tune. WAY out of tune. then when i outshredded the guy he just slammed the V onto a guitar stand and left. so i retuned it and did some metal on it and then some guy took the V off me and bought it..

This reminds me of the days when I worked in music stores. I posted banners in each of them which read,

"Attempting to play "Stairway to Heaven", "Smoke on the Water" and "Iron Man" is STRICTLY PROHIBITED!"

i have been playing guitar for about 50 years. never my main job as an adult, but some nice side money.

i'll be able to retire in about 7 years. what i would love to do is work part-time in a music store. with the way things are going, i worry about the future of the smaller stores. i couldn't bear to work in a big box store with shredders running amok,some kid playing the one lick he knows over and over, and god knows what else.

is my dream over?

By the sounds of it you're one of the people this thread is poking fun at.

Why would Hendrix even turn his amps up to 11?!!!!
Because he wanted a FAT sound. i turn up my 15w Marshall to 11 for a FAT sound like Hendrix's
