So today I wanted to adjust the truss rod of my SLSMG. I find out that my allen wrenches won't work and I need the socket type (the ones that look like little smoking pipes). I thought Guitar Center might have one, so I call them.
Me: Hi, do you guys sell truss rod wrenches?
GC employee: Yeah.
Me: Okay, can I bring my guitar to see which one will fit?
GC employee: Sure.
So I get there and the guy who talked to me directs me to I think their guitar repair dude (who looks like Chad Kroeger). I tell him I wanted the rod loosened and he offers to adjust it. He turns it a bit (the correct way, I checked) and I ask him if they sold those wrenches since I'd rather do it myself. Then he said that they'd setup my guitar for $40 and gave me a condescending lecture about how buying a guitar new usually comes with the proper truss rod adjuster. Thanks a fucking lot Chad, I'll make sure I consider that the next time I'm buying a guitar that's $600 cheaper used during a recession. I tell him that I came here because I was told on the phone that they sold truss rod wrenches. So he tells me that I could special order one. Well no fucking shit! It would have been nice if they told me all this ON THE PHONE. I was so upset that I took my guitar and shoved it up his ass (the SLSMG headstock is optimally designed for this).
I actually thought for a second that I could just go in that store, get what I want, then leave without any patronizing bullshit, but apparently that's like expecting shit to taste good.
I give Guitar Center a rating of 5/5 barfing smilies:
