When to a local music shop and saw a 79 ES175 CC (charlie christian) on the wall (next to a Super 400).
I am just not getting along with my ES165 and the 125 isnt much better. Nothing wrong with them, I just need a change.
So I asked the guy at the store to try it and he was "No, sorry. It's used and for sale on consignment."
... excuse me? Now, I am a male, 43yo, in my work clothes as a network admin (so a little too casual for business casual but close).
I am a little just WTF.. do I have to wave 4K around before I can even look at it (when he told me the price I said "too much.. these usually go for 3000-3500 max.. he checked and the correct price is 3600 but that is probably because of the wiggle room.)
But still .. WFT?
EDIT: The reason I mentioned the Super 400 because that is what I REALLY wanted to try but there is no way I can afford it so I didnt even bother so it is not like I was going for the most expensive guitar in the store. AND ANOTHER THING... when he did let me try it he says "I suppose you want to plug it into a fender.. " He was a little shocked when I said no.. even a decent bass amp will do. "A bass amp???" Just .. speechless.
