I bought my main current guitar from GC, a used EJ strat. Many of the guitars there are so not set up they're a drag to play.
In this covid moment though, I'm super shy about physically going to a store to try stuff anyway. How do you disinfect a guitar? How do you try one without touching it?
There's something semi-locally I'm pretty interested in, and my wife let me know she'd be more upset about me physically checking it out than about me spending the money. (It's not that much, as guitars go, but it's a lot relative to most expenses, short of a car, roof, etc.)
I'm talking to the store about how we could arrange things; I have at least one potential trade-in too, maybe more. They could ship it, but that's significant extra cost and risk. Maybe arrange curbside, check it out amp-less in my car, while they take my stuff in and check it.
