For bringing back too many guitars. Jees,I didn't know there was a limit.

Maybe this is nature's way of saying: keep something for five minutes. And I speak as one of shortscale's arch-enablers - you can't be keeping kit long enough to get even a vague feel for it. And that's both annoying for us skint folks, and also a bit like you've got some sort of proper shopping addiction.

that was a mild mannered "leave him alone" btw, not a stern fatherly one.

While I'd usually agree (again, I stated in my post how I'm shortscale's arch-enabler; anyone even thinking of buying something has shortly after received a PM from me saying 'do it do it do it'), and I think playing lots of guitars is a lovely thing to do, you have to hang onto them for a month or so at least. Also, since wtr makes so many "What do you think of x guitar" posts both here and at Harmony Central, I've now given up reading and posting in them, since I know they will proceed thusly: What do you think of x guitar > So I went and played x guitar and guess what? I swapped my SG for it... > I've changed the pickguard on x guitar > What do you think of y guitar > So I went and played y guitar and guess what? I swapped x guitar for it etc. etc. to infinity.

But mainly, when all's been said and done: I'm jealous.

Just send me one of your cast-offs every now and then, eh?

What does "on notice" mean? Do they think you're stealing stuff? How did they tell you this without sounding accusatory and asshole-ish?

Aye. Wish I could. Not doing any harm, like.

How many guitars have you bought and taken back?

I'm also curious how this was said without directly accusing you of being the worlds greatest guitar thief.

Exactly, you figure they would enjoy the increased revenue

Bring Ã¨m a pile of your receipts next year and ask if they`ll reconsider.

Are you returning all these guitars and that's why you're on notice? Or on notice for trading too many guitars towards other guitars?

I have a feeling that it would be the first one since I can't imagine them turning down legit trades toward other instruments. Although if they are putting you on notice because of too many trades it's probably because you trade them guitars faster than they normally get supply shipments!

You go through guitars faster than taco bell goes through my digestive system.

Seems like the sales people are butthurt that they didn't actually get to keep the money from any of those guitars.

You'd think that gutiar center would have a rental program.
