Last 7 years I've bought at least 10 guitars from adoroma through here...not a single bad experience.

To be fair I've never tried returning anything though

This is BS. The "shill" is Slickdeals staff. The posts don't have the exact same number of upvotes, if it's close it's because the same people like me upvote them because they are good deals.
I've boughht several guitars and camera gear from Adorama without problems. I've done a couple returns as well and have never had a problem other than that website popular I posted earlier.

Same good experiences with b&h, though just with camera gear.

Adorama is the worst merchant next to B and H Photo promoted on here. Never buy from them.

The same shill posts every single Adorama post and it has exact same number of upvotes from his friends or other accounts. It's pathetic.

I bought a guitar from Adorama. I initially thought that it had a defect with the nut. (I am a begginer). They offered a refund without issue but asked me if I can first set it up at a local shop. There was no defect, according to the tech, and I had my guitar setup, and it plays very well after setup. Point is they lose money on returns, but they are professional and do accept them. For photography, Adorama and BH are gold standard.

My kid prefers his Seagull acoustic to electrics, but loves the way Gretschs look, particularly the blue. Would he be better off with the full sized body?

Check out videos for an accurate representation of size. Jrs are full sized, just more compact. It's not like you're buying a 3/4 or 1/2 size guitar.

How do you like that Rat Rod? I'm weighting getting the 5655 or Rat Rod or 5420 for my son.
