I agree about the same model guitars playing differently. I believe in
playing a lot of guitars before I buy one... like three stores worth.

I also agree with you about the set up affecting performance. Supposedly
brand new guitars are facory set up and tested for max performance. It ain't
always so. It's worth it to have someone do it for you if you don't have much
experience. It would be a shame to have a nice B.C. Rich sound like crap
because someone was to cheap to have a pro set it up.
