Rob Chapman so completely doesn't get it. Bags of misinformation (some of it deliberate, some of it just pathetic attempts at BLOKE JOKES) in this video.

he's a goof, dunno, it's not a good demo, demos are demos and every decent shop does one, i'm just excited this shop had ONE lefty in stock and is now on its way to me, it's way different from being righty.

the stuff i got from fender germany about the backorder for left handed versions almost seems they underestimated the demand and are now stuck asking shipment after shipment from fender because they didn't think it would sell.

Very poor video, sounds great for how little they actually demonstrated it though.

i defo will.

but haterz inc. get this : playing lefty (and having tried right..and just being mentally incapable of pulling it off) this thing ..the specs..jag, hums, bound neck..those three things (other specs aside) is what got me so interested.

i hesitated on this, but someone else convinced me i wouldn't see something like this pop up in quite some time.
of course i'd rather get this or that like a lefty travis bean, but availabilty/price is just a total no go. so i'm happy about having ordered this. i need a workhorse guitar. i'm still happy i did this.

if i had total kurdtz though i would've gotten a lefty jag stang..dang do i not like those guitars. sorry for jag stang fans out there, i know there's a few here, but i totally didn't like it, last time i saw one at a shop was years and years ago.

also...a bit funny..ups says it's now in crawley..i remember it as one of the stops on the way to bognor hahahaha.

Andertons is my local big music store and is where I got my J Mascis jazzy. It has some knowledgable staff but that pair of bellends can really fuck off. Guildford has the dubious honour of being the home of the Academy of Contemporary Music, where they churn out the next generation of identikit session players with whatever the style du jour is at the time. As can be seen by the beards one's lack of knowledge about anything other than pointy shred guitars (What was hat about the Jem?). I'm guessing he was a graduate of the ACM in the early 2000s

Incredible sounding guitar... But what fucking terrible demo! I don't understand shops using such terrible people for their demos... it's not good PR, especially when it's so obvious they have no clue what the fuck they're talking about. Details really need to be right in this shit.

No, this was better. Sure, it needed editing, but it's amateur, and there was no bullshit. Entertaining? No... But nor was there any terrible disinformation.
The other dudes are representing a business... A business that supposedly KNOWS guitars. Yes the audio is good and they can play, but everything else was utter trash. They knew shit about the instrument, gave some accidentally poor info s a result, and their jack-assery in trying to be funny brought intentionally bad information to the front and demonstrates the company they're representing either doesn't give a shit about their products and/or customers, or they simply don't pay attention to details. Either way, it's a bad scene. It really reminded me of something a purple kids would do when getting a hold of their parents' video camera for the first time and made a video where they're trying to be zany/funny and are only succeeding in making a steaming pile.

At least the guy above gave a shit about his box... Er, guitar.
