I needed an empty guitar box to ship #16 to Lauren. Went to Guitar Center, where an employee sees a 3-string CBG for the first time and falls in love with it. How could he not?

Sorry your experience was so negative, Gary H.  It's definitely a big box type of store, and I'm sure no two are alike.  Ours encourages playing any guitar in the store, and it was always so fun to take my guitar-playing son in there!   They've been really good about giving me shipping boxes (on a couple of occurrences), and today's visit was during a slow time so they could enjoy.  If you're ever in the OKC area, give these guys a try!

Last time that I took one of mine to that place I was treated like I had the plague, never went back, never will.

Thanks Pick & Wes!  Uncle John - but that's what ALWAYS blows me away!  Give a 3-stringed CBG to a guitar player, and just stand back!  I'm always amazed.  The guys at the store loved the tone, and one guy noted that the fret job was better than most of 'em coming into the store!  This guy really liked it - and wants one badly.  I love the fact that he was so fired up, and there's a whole wall of guitars behind him!  CBG's are here to stay!

Yup, cool for sure.  But I am a bit chagrinned when someone picks up a CBG for the first time and plays better than I do!
