    Where to try out mid/high end guitars

    I currently play a Ibanez RG6003FM and I am looking at my next purchase to be in the mid - high end guitar spectrum(1000$+). I was curious to know if there are any alternatives outside of Guitar Center and Sam Ash to be able to try out nicer guitars like an Ibanez Prestige, ESP E-II or Schecter...

    Working at guitar center??

    Sorry if this doesn't go here (not sure if it should go in off topic or not) so mods can move it if they need to. So I recently applied for a part time position at guitar center and I was just trying to ask about others experiences working there. I applied for both a sales and an operations...

    NGD! Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-8

    I traded in my Hellraiser C-7 and my old ESP 8 string for this beast and I cant say that I could be any happier. Great tonal balance between the mahogany body and maple neck. It has that bite without being overly dark. The pickups are amazing. As far as EMGs go I've had guitars with the 808s and...

    NGD: Ibby RG8 (And the reason I'm done with Guitar Center)

    So overall as an instrument, the RG8 is what I expected. Stock strings and pickups are nothing to write home about, which I already knew. The pots feel pretty cheap, and the tuners aren't exactly the best either. But they work, and that's all I really care about for now. I was worried that it...

    Need help identifying a mislabeled Jackson

    Hey guys, I was in Guitar Center yesterday, and I picked up a matte black guitar with EMGs and a floyd rose special as what started out as a joke, (seeing as I normally am not a fan of instruments with either of those 3) but once I played it it stopped being funny. Fretwork was decent, the...

    So my EZdrummer demo wasn't a Demo....

    So I decided to go to my local Guitar Center to see if they had EZdrummer. I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to drop $150 on it, so I asked the salesman if he had a demo version. He went behind the counter and gave me a demo....or so he thought..... Later that night, I decided to install the demo...

    Ibanez S7320/7321/FR???

    Yo! Tax refund time is approaching and after seeing an S7320 on GuitarCenter.com my desire for a 7-string has been rekindled. After doing a pretty thorough search, I'm still unsure what the differences are among the various models. I called the local GC and was told about an S7321 w/o...

    Cayman Green Ibanez 7's...

    ...were apparently made as a 'custom run' in at least one model for a guitar store chain (probably Sam Ash or Guitar Center) but I can't find any references or pictures of any models anywhere. Anyone know what happened to them? And production models/numbers?
