Yup this happens. Unless you play for an hour in the store or have a lot of experience with guitars, there are some things you wont notice right away.
Like the shape of the neck for exemple. You might play the guitar in the store and think that you like it then go back home and play several hours to realise you would have prefer something fatter, thinner, a V shape, or modern C shape etc
