what do you guys think about my little problem

i bought an abanez artcore af 95 3 months ago. recently i realized it doesnt feel right when im playing with it. now, dont take it the wrong way, the guitar i great, low action, good tone, slim smooth neck, and it looks great. i just didnt bond to it. so i took it back to guitarcenter asked to return or switch a different guitar. i bought it for 490 after tax and they agreed to give my 370 on store credit. i accepted the deal.

what do you guys think about this? did i made a good decision?

I think so, if it doesn't feel right you won't play it. We have a great store in our area, they'll let you bring them home for a week and try it out, before you buy! I don't think that's a bad loss.

That was the right move. If it doesn't feel right than trade it for something that works for you.

Yeh, sounds like a good return. And like Aunt Doty says, if it doesn't feel right, yo won't play it no matter what.

Good Call.

Good decision, if you didn't like it you would have become increasingly reluctant to play it, so it would have ended up in a corner gathering dust and losing value, worth taking a hit to get a guitar you're really into.
