Testing equipment we can't afford :-(

I'm hoping I'm not the only one that does this but how often do you go to a music store and just test out equipment that you know you won't buy? Am I the only one with this pointless yet brilliant pass-time? Do shops get annoyed when you do this?

Well, there seems to be a lot of the "let's show the sales guy/girl up thing in here". Just sounds like a lot of bullshit braaivleis kakpraat stories to me.

I tried out the Tokai ES 160, I really wasn’t impressed, but, again, the guys know that I’m looking for a decent hollow-body and have been for a while now. And they also know that when the right one comes around that suits my style and that I’m happy with, then I will buy it right out.

Well, I come from a small town and our music store doesn't have many instruments... and they all have "Do NOT touch" signs. Even though none of them are manufactured by big brands like Gibson or Fender or Yamaha etc.

There was one time, though, when I went to Marshall in Cape Town and admired the Les Pauls. I wasn't going to try any of them out, but it was the assistant and my mom who insisted I do. Never did it again.
