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.

I have bought two from Adoroma and other than having to set one of them up myself probably due to it sitting in a warehouse for ten years 😂has no problem with them. good deals IMO.

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.
Yes and to answer OPs question no, if your kid is smaller than an average adult, do lot get a full size block. That is a big guitar

Same scenario bought maybe 5 guitars & keyboard type stuff. I will say I bought EVH (Wolfgang)gold guitar that was basically half price, listed as new. It had a couple scratches in the back; debated returning it, but I played it & it was awesome.

He is full of it. I have the same experience as you but did have a Privia that began failing after a month and a half. It was discontinued and they refunded with no issue.

If shills are email only deals that sell banging gear for used prices then point out another.

Nah B&H has always been great. If you're consitently having issues with multiple retailers...
I think some people expect every retailer to be like amazon where they can just buy stuff on a whim and return it for no reason while expecting the retailer to eat return shipping costs. If they don't and buyer has to pay for shipping because they changed their mind, then that is a "bad retailer".

I've purchased lots of stuff from both adorama and PAS, marked either as open box or used, and each time they were brand new and never opened. B&H I've always purchased new and had to return something once because I didn't realize what bought was included in something else I bought and I had to eat the return shipping cost of the prepaid return label (which was very reasonable). While it wasn't free like with amazon, it wasn't their fault either, it was mine.

Does anyone happen to know if Adorama has any pattern to the deals on these? I wasn't interested in the Single Barrel Burst. I like this one but would be more into the Azure Metallic or the Orange.

They seem to only discount the ones that don't sell... Unfortunately the other colors are more popular and rarely get marked down.

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 think this dude is high, I've personally never had any issues with adorama OR B&H.

I ordered the single barrel burst color and they sent me the wrong guitar.... now fighting the customer service people who seem like they don't like doing returns.... wondering if guitar center would price match now
I ended up returning the 5220 they sent me incorrectly, took about 4 days to get the return sorted out and I finally have the 5655tg and am loving it

Mine arrived yesterday. Looks beautiful, plays well and stays in tune better than the G2215 Jet with a single P90 I got on a deal earlier this year even without any tweaking on my part. I like the P90 on the Jet, not sure how I feel about the pickups on this one.

They followed up to make sure the right guitar was delivered. I've been using Adorama for years with no complaints, and this is the first time they've sent an email like that after an order. So there may have been a big screw up with all the Gretsch deals.
