A little sad tale with a happy ending...
A rather depressing thing happened to me yesterday:
My local music store located in central Va recently became an EBMM dealer (EBMM's are hard to find in central Va). Last November 2010 they me told they had ordered an SM-Y2d in Purple Sunset and were expecting it sometime in January...so naturally I made daily trips to the store in January to check and see if the guitar had arrived b/c I was dying to see one if person and well, to purchase it
Anyway I left town for 10 days to visit my family out west and came back Sunday night. As soon as Monday came around I headed to the music store and right to their "platinum room" (not GC btw) passing right by the sales manager talking to a customer about EBMM. I listened to their conversation (for any discrepancies) as I scanned the wall for the SM-Y2D which sadly was not there.
As I left the room I asked the sales manager if the "Morse" had come in and he said, "you wouldn't believe it but I just sold it to this gentleman right here and he was asking me about the guitar and the company. My heart sank
The sales manager then told the customer that I come in all the time looking for EBMM's and I could probably tell him more about EBMM than he could so I proceeded to educate the guy on what he had just purchased, and a little bit about the history of EBMM (based on my 1 1/2 yrs as a forumite and research)and my experience's as an owner of JP6.
The customer felt much better with his purchase and the sales manager told me that I should start working at the store!:cool ...although I dont think it was a formal offer.
Anyway we talked guitars for a couple more minutes and he ended up telling me that he decided to check out this guitar and was so impressed with the tones that he decided to trade in his G&L.
Before I left I told him to check out the website and to join the forum ASAP b/c we're such a "tight-knit" community over here
Although I was disappointed the SM-Y2D had been sold to someone else, I was still glad to see some satisfaction on the guys face as I left the store, into the sunset, empty-handed...
Anyway I thought I would share my little story
