So I was at my local music store...

Sign in to disble this ad
And I was checking out guitars because after I pick up a 6 string bass I want to try my hand at guitar again. I had been going there every few days for weeks and every time I went, I saw what I thought was a REALLY cool looking Ibanez acoustic-electric:



One of the girls that worked there came by we just started chatting. When she asked which guitar I was thinking about getting I pointed to it and she said "Wow, you must be really confident in your sexuality to play something like that."

Now I don't want it any more .

Dude, if you like the tone and the style then why let some minimum wage employee change your mind? Has she been showing up to all your shows and rehearsals? Is she buying the guitar for you? Does she sign your pay checks? Who cares what she thinks about it. She obviously has no idea that she has possibly ruined a sale for the company and maybe your business forever.

Nothing is cuter than a girl that makes you second-guess your sexuality.

Just add a suede vest, puffy shirt, some feathers and lots of cologne.

I'm buying this soon, flamed sides, headstock and back so I guess we can question our sexualities together.

It doesn't matter if she questions your sexuality, only if she stops giving you sex. If she never started, then who cares..

That is absolutely hilarious however.

Sounds like she is a really terrible salesperson.

Just buy it anyway.

If nothing else you'll show her that you're taking control and that you know what you want despite what anybody thinks.

Atleast you're not buying a Taylor Swift signature model.

"Oh, hey, excuse me Miss! Remember me from yesterday? I was thinking about picking up that one guitar before you inadvertently emasculated me. Nah, don't worry about it, happens all the time. But, I was just wondering if I could get a quick picture of you? I think you're cute but a bunch of dudes on the internet don't believe you exist. Would that be cool? No, you don't have to get naked... unless you want to."

Just slap one of those flame/tribal pickguard thingies from a Traben on it, you'll be alright.

Man, if that had a nice tans-colour to it . . .

Or a Dragon Burst, that would be sweeeet!




I like that one too, but it is the EWC30EBENT, so what do I know
