So how nice is it having to work in a guitar store and be surrounded by some nice guitars all day ? :D

I'll tell one thing it's the worst place to work as a guitar player.I get to hear all sorts of playing good and bad but I don't get to play guitar all day like most people think.OK the guy's that work for the store have a tendacy to sit around and play even when I throw stuff at them to make them work.We are always changing strings and after every string change there seems to be a 30 or 40 min jam after.I spend most of my time in my little cave repairing stuff and helping people out on mail order calls.
The other thing to know is that if I sat and played guitars in the store all day I wouldn't want to go home and play my own guitars.Plus I would own more guitars then I already have.
Don't get me wrong it's great being around the guitars all day but!!!!!! GAS!!!!GAS!!!! is always learking. B)

Hi SCR378, it is pretty cool to be around lots of nice guitars.  Like Rob said, you don't get to play as much as you would like, but I really enjoy getting a new delivery and opening up the box.  I love the smell of the wood when you first open up a new guitar case.  It is a full time job answering phones and trying to get the web site up and running, but I do play some each day.  I am spoiled though, having so many nice guitars to choose from.  I played this morning in church, and I brought a different guitar than usual.  The rest of the band is getting to know how good these guitars are, and it looks like we will be all Larrivee players soon.  I enjoy that side of it a lot.  Jason.
