I've never been to a Guitar Center Rob but have to say that sadly your experience sounds dreadfully similar to mine in a lot of guitar shops all over the place (both chains and independents). Some shops are truely awful - whether its bad store policy, poor management or untrained staff (or any combination) - they leave you with a sour taste. It's a real shame as we all, including the shop management and staff, are supposed to be in it because of a common love of music and guitars... (I can come out with an awful lot of bad stories
.)Having said that I've also the experience of going to good guitar shops - often, but not always, small independents. It's a real eyeopener to be served by friendly, helpful staff who know their stuff and who take time with you and let you try things out at your pace and for how long you want without pushing for a sale. I find that I go back to these shops, even though I can often get the kit cheaper elsewhere. Hopefully your next guitar shop visit will be to a better one and you'll get good service and enjoy the visit. Cheers, Tony Ps a true story - not about a bad guitar shop but bad customer service... Years ago I played in a group with another guitarist. He was unemployed and had been for a few years so always was short of cash. He was usually overdrawn and in trouble with his bank and had been called in by the bank manager for a telling off more than once. Well as luck would have it we got signed to a label and were given a cheque for our advance. Col took the cheque in to his local bank, didn't show it to the cashier straight away but asked to see the manager. Cashier looked at him disdainfully and imperiously said, 'Mr X (the manager) is a very busy man, you don't have an appointment so why should he see the likes of you?' Col took the cheque out, put it on the counter and said, 'That's why'. Her eyes bugged and she ushered Col into the manager's office. Pretty much the same scene occurred with the manager who again became obsequious when Col produced the cheque at which point manager said, 'Well then what can we do for you now Mr Y? We're always here to be of service to you!' (Funny in the past they never called Col 'Mr'...  )Col looked at the manager and said, 'I'm here to close my account.' -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

At least that is the way it is around my location it could be different elsewhere.
