I agree with the comments about Sam Ash, we have one here in New Haven and the "help" is terrible. The acoustics are all out of tune and I think I found actual rust on some of the strings. I sat on a stool they had and it damn near fell apart, almost dropping me and the guitar to the floor. The main feeling I get is; quick, buy an electric guitar or get outta here. Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like I'll need to break out the 'ol atlas. Tom
