Nice looking guitar! And yes, there is something worse than screwing up some chords in a music shop and that would be not knowing any chords to screw up and having the shop guys have to play the guitar for you. This is what I had to do with my acoustic. Checked the action and fel of the guitar, but couldn't play anything at that point. Guy was really ehlpful though and the one I ended up with I am stoked about, but I was slightly embarassed when I went in.

"Practice until you get a guitar welt on your chest...if it makes you
feel good, don't stop until you see the blood from your fingers.
Then you'll know you're on to something!"
- Ted Nugent
I ask an employee to play sometimes, just to hear it from the other side. It does sound different than what you hear playing it.

Enjoy it! (I've got a Greg Bennett bass that's been giving me much pleasure lately!)

Congrats Keith,
looks like a great piece of gear. Looking forward to seeing it in action. Ahh the sweet smell of a new addition to the family is good isnt it?
bet you still have trouble putting it down ;)
cheers

btw, I pretty much always tell the shop assistant i cant play much at all and get them to do something on it instead. I still have a play around with it but on a much quieter basis.
