I've always took the approach that unless you are a really a bad guitar player you can make most anything sound good. Feel on the other hand is a different animal. I had a Fender Nashville Telecaster and it just never felt right when I was playing it, so I traded it for an ES-335 which I also never could get used to. It was too bulky to play, so I got an ES-339 which is much more playable for me.I have an Epiphone SG Modern that I never play because it just never felt right. It is extremely light. I usually buy stuff online. Most of what I buy I've been lucky and is good sounding, and feels good, and only needs a few tweaks. I just hate Guitar Center, and the ones around here don't take care of the guitars and let anyone play the hell out of them so you're not getting a good representation of how it feels and sounds like with a good set up. The only other music store around is Guitar Factory and after I took a guitar in to have some work done on it, the staff seemed less than competent so I won't go there anymore either. Speaking of Gibsons QC issues, which I've read are very common, the guy I mentioned above ordered a Gibson Les Paul and the headstock was cracked off when he got it. Now could've happened in shipping but if they were smart, they'd redesign the headstock without the stupid 17-degree angle that makes them so prone to snapping.</blockquote>
