It Followed Me Home
Suhr-1
Originally uploaded by phillip2637. This, of course, is the time of sales at music stores. In spite of the probability of crowds, I decided I'd go out and look at electric guitars. I've been talking about getting a real electric for a couple of years on and off but never did anything about it because I couldn't decide on a feature set and price range that I wanted to get serious about.
When the salesman asked if he could help, I gave him a list of preferences that included: a lot of tonal variety, light weight, and a neck that didn't have so much lacquer that my hand stuck to it whenever I changed position.
This is a brand (Suhr) that I knew nothing about going in but it met all my conditions, sounded good, and won A/B tests against some guitars I'd previously considered.
