Long and Mquade, fuckers work there I tell ya, me and my band went there to pick up some serious equipment, We had saved up for like 3 years and bought a Marshall JCM 2000 half stack, Ovation acoustic, Effects board, cables, mics, we spent like 5 grand easy if not more, and we went back like a week later to buy some more stuff and tried to get a deal, the same sales guy we tried cutting a deal with figuring we would get a deal now since we sold our livers to get this stuff, says he doesn't even know or remember us WHICH WAS BULLSHIT, so we asked him how could he forget us it was only a week we bought all that stuff, and he says sorry don't remember no deals, so we told him to eat shit and fuck off, and went to Mothers Music instead, I'll never go back to Long and Mquade again.

Im not a big fan of GC however i did end up buying my tele from them about 6 months ago. I went a GC in commack, NY and I asked the guy if he had a white MIM tele he checks and they dont he then starts to question why i want a white one and then keeps trying to sell me other guitars that are way out of my price range and he was a huge dick about it cause when i asked him to check another GC he just ignored me and walked away.

Sometimes they don't just listen. Thats the GC thats closest to me. I had no problem there when I bought my Strat. The salesman was great, good experience purchasing I would say. But since I've been back, one guy in particular has just been a pushy pain in the ass. I was playing a 61 Reissue SG and he was saying that they were having no interest for a year on the GC credit card. I said I knew, but that I got roped into the no interest thing on a big purchase I made at Best Buy for a TV. Then he says he would've trust buying a Gibson from Best Buy. I was like, WTF? Are you even listening to what I'm saying?
