+1 on this. I don't do Guitar Center for new guitars, I do independent shops. I bought my 714ce-LTD from my local indie, and my new BTO from Jim at the Rodeo. Both are independent shops that need business to stay alive. I went with Jim this time because he is so familiar with the BTO process -- the local guy had never done one and was scared of it "too many things to get wrong" he said.
