... and DIDN'T buy ANY guitars......
I guess my wallet is happy.
I was pretty picky though. I only wanted to buy used and even in the shops there the selection of used MIJ is limited.
Still though...it was nice. Got to play (or just wrap my hands around) a bunch of brands that until now I only ever saw on line.
I played that MOON custom order model that is on Ishibashi right now. That was a VERY nice guitar and I almost pulled the trigger on it. Just beautiful body, nice and resonant. But it's action was a little too high for my liking and I didn't really love those bartilloni pickups. Still, I bet that thing cost a bunch to get built.
Also that Orville by Gibson SG with the big chip out of the headstock. That one sounded really nice but the neck didn't agree with me....and usually I'll play any neck.
Played some van zandt, bacchus, and amazing momose strat that I almost broke my "used" rule and bought...
All in all it was fun hunting....and **** those stores there are amazing.
