New traded-in guitar with zero out of pocket day! Well, it was yesterday, but that's almost always the case.
Long story - I drove the wife and dil down to Atlanta for the Friday Taylor Swift concert. After they were settled and I had hung out with a bud I went to the best Atlanta Guitar Center, as I knew they had a specific snowy white EBMM Sabre HT and a few Majesties to ogle over, as I have never played any EBMMs. Had it in the back of my head that I could potentially trade a 3-year old PRS Paul's WL 10 that has become the one that is not played(tm). Was a great looking and sounding guitar, but something with the top carve and wraparound bridge height forked my technique badly.
So took one look at the Sabre HT and it started speakin' to me in tongues. G'dman pictures don't do it justice! The build quality, features and playability are spot on to what I like. Wheeled and dealed and got a "ticket in the system" and the Sabre put in the back, with a verbal agreement to do a straight trade. I was over 2-hours back home so I waited until Saturday afternoon to take my PRS in - hadn't gotten home after the TS concert until 2am.
I get there around 4:30pm and there was a regular salesman that remembered me, but a different manager. After 15 minutes of waiting and 15 minutes of complex "GC Calculations", they said I'd owe them $270! Umm, not today, Jack. Told them of the promise, etc, etc, and said you need to think this over a bit! Went and played 2 Majesties, for another 15 minutes, and was starting to wonder if I wanted one of them, lol. Then the asst. mgr came in and said they figured out a way to make it work, lmao. Yeah, you're living up to your promise in my book. Good, all's well that ends well. They bring the Sabre back out and I again loose my chit - and there's no doubt now, knowing that sometime whenever I can finagle the scratch, I'll be getting a Majesty. I kind of want one where the outer area is similar in color to the shovel, and other than $6K ones - they didn't have any in stock like that.
