Man, I'd get beat up if I got caught playing one of those. I'd take an SG any day. Of course, I'm not an electric player. But a Kirk Sand hallow body always sounds nice (and out of my price range).

That's an interesting topic LH. Guitars never say no when you want to play them. Though if we take this further, I couldn't imagine what a simple string change is going to turn into (not to mention the price of a decent guitar, ouch!).

Erica, I can't really add anything about how women get treated in music stores as I'm not a women and don't work in a music store. But if you're ever in Seattle, you might want to try Dusty Strings. They always seem to treat everybody fairly. Though if there is any problems, just PM John P. He's been there a while I believe.
