Kiesel Guitars at 2015 Aldergrove Avenue, Escondido, California.

First time visit to the new Kiesel store.

GOOD - Receptionist at the front and the FIRST sales guy I met were very friendly and helpful. The sales guy set me up with some basses to play, answered a few questions, gave me a few extra tidbits of information, and then let me play. Very cool.

BAD - I wanted to play one specific bass I had seen on-line. After awhile I went to ask about it. Different sales guy there now. He asks if I'm going to buy it. I said just looking for now. He refused to get the bass. He told me I had a sufficient sampling of instruments. In his defense he was busy talking to a couple of his buddies. I left.

MORAL - Generally, if a customer is telling a sales guy that they saw a specific instrument on-line and they'd like to see it, they're probably more than causally into the instrument. You should get the them the instrument. I've been to the old Carvin store on World Trade Dr. many times and never got treated like this. Hopefully this is a one time anomaly.
