Thanks for the clip.
I've played one of the new ones and they sure are worth the money.

You can't beat that price! Now if they would just put out an import PC1 for $499.

Really if they could lose the sustainer and figured neck/fingerboard there should be no reason they couldn't do one for say $599.

the only review on GC's website isn't helping the sale... not too good, which is too bad.

come on now they make it for starters(even for starters its a high price) and iron maiden fans ....the quality won't sale

[moku]

well, i'm still getting one... once the price drops. can't afford it now. maybe the reviewer was expecting it to be more than what it is?

I love how he doesn't blame GC. The staff may have been great to deal with about the issue (credit to them) but the company shouldn't be putting guitars with these issues out on the floor. They're a big organisation with a massive inventory - if they sent them back and said "this isn't up to standard", the manufacturers will listen. Clearly the store isn't doing any kind of QC on the gear they sell.

I'd be surprised if GC does anything besides a quick tuning before throwing it up on the rack. I've seen some guitars hanging on their wall that were in seriously bad shape. And I'm not even talking about the used guitars.

[Nightbat]

Ok,... but what does Adrian ACTUALLY say about this guitar?

[moku]

i'm sure if they were sold at other music shops the guitars would be in better shape. gc let's any joe schmo play their guitar so almost everyone of them gets banged up. just the other day i was in there to get a stereo jack and i saw this dude break a string on an american fender. so he just walked up the desk and said, "sorry man.... i was just playing it..... the strings must be too old." i can only imagine the same thing happens at the factory...

now it's got two reviews--both bad. it's making me think twice.....

So you're saying they should have some criteria for who gets to try out the guitars? And someone breaking a string is some kind of crime, or...well, I'm not sure what you're saying there.

Two review, both bad? Go play one instead of making your mind up from the internet.
