I always thought the best way to buy a guitar was to get it from a dealer who will refund your money if not sadisfied. The Guitar Center used to do that, if you brought it back in a month. Don't know if they are still around, but maybe another guitar outlet would give the the same deal if you promise to eventually buy from them. When I heard about the GC doing that, it stuck me like joining the "Guitar of the Month Club".

I never did so because I love my Parker and have no deisre to change instruments. But with the greatest recession in many years plagueing the world, your would think that shop owners could be encouraged to make such an offer. If so just keep trying out new guitars until one really grabs your intrest.
