Well this is a first for me - modern technology
I just completed a transaction with a guitar shop 1,170 miles from my home. No big deal, you say. True enough. So what's the big deal? This is the first guitar transaction I've completed while sitting in my car in some anonymous parking. I don't take calls or text while driving so I pulled off the road when the dealer called me back. From there it was Paypal via iPhone and the item and invoice were on the road.

I don't know which dealer you went with (they're both good) but I've bought two guitars (a tele and a strat) from Dave in the past, and he is about as good as it gets when buying sight unseen. Just a great and trustworthy on-line source for that sort of thing. That SG is a classic for sure. Enjoy!

On modern.... Now that's paying with your wrist watch. My guess is most guitar forums will confirm a poor experience with Dave's is uncommon. Look how big the place is on a map, know it's two stories, and know it's full of guitars (acoustic, electric) and amps. Enjoy it in good health!
