Curious if anyone else has run into this before.

I'd run low on strings so went into a music store in the next city north of me. Bought six packs of Ernie Balls Super Slinkies. While at the counter the fella, ring'n the sale thru, and I were chatting it up.

So he says I must be pretty brutal on guitars if I needed that many packs of strings. Told him 'nope, I build CBG's and give'm away. Had to school him on what CBG's were. Then after I tell him what they are he says... "Ohh, ur the guy" then got quiet and finished the sale... Thank you come again...

I was kinda puzzled by the response but after I got back to my truck I figured maybe he'd heard or saw some of my gits and thought I was cutting into his biz... Thats all I could come up with.

So... does anyone else find music stores friendly or a bit.... short, with you when they know you build CBG's???

I rarely go into the big box git stores anymore. My local (privately owned) store loves CBG's and has sold, on consignment, a dozen or more of my instruments as well as another guys CBG's. So the music store makes their percentage plus I make what I usually do at craft shows.  The store owners mom even bought one!
