Just wondering if any one else ever expirenced this. I have been buying some parts at a locale music store, just when I needed something right away. I have been talking to the repair man and he seemed genuinely interested in what I was doing. Well I took two of my CBG'si n today and really and really got the cold shoulder. You know, like , yea that is really nice but it is not a real instrument. I don't know, made me wish I would have never taken it in there. Just wondering if anyone else out there ever had this happen. Does not deter me any though and all my buyers have been very pleased.

i can see how music shops here in uk make a living, there must be 1000s of guitars behind sofas, ender beds etc that never get played and probably never will 'cos someone bought an expensive model over a budget guitar.i can remember a friend in the 60s getting turned down by a band because he was playing a guitar from Woolworths (yes a Teisco) even tho' he was a better player the the strat boy.. shear snobbery
Not me, I took one of mine to a music store and a young guy working there picked it up, plugged it into and amp and just played the hell out of it! I almost just gave it to him cause I don't think it wanted to come home with me anymore after that! But I finally made it get back in the car and go home!
I guess it just depends on who you come into contact with.
"You know, like , yea that is really nice but it is not a real instrument." LOL
The old CBG cold shoulder. I have taken my CBG's into 4 independent music store, they like to talk about them but when you bring them in they think your tring to sale them instant cold shoulder. They accept the 6 strings much more then a 3 string, bug your right they don't get it.
I've never got on with music shops in general so I'm not surprised at what happened to you. There's a snobby attitude in music shops that I've always hated and they make me feel uneasy. I've got a fair collection of 6 string guitars which cost me a lot, but none of them have given me as much of a buzz as building and playing my own little piece of shit CBG.
100% agree with Uncle Gus and Slowpaw Steve. I sometimes get that cold shoulder even from "civilians", I mean not music store guys. They got their minds so haunted by brands and trends that they cannot get the idea of making music with an instrument they haven't seen on TV.
