Hmpf...probably some Buffalo Brothers in-group or something.

By the sounds of it you had to wait a few minutes while Bob dealt with a
customer on the phone. That's hardly the end of the world is it? I admit it
would have been good for Bob to signal that he'd be with you shortly, but if
that's the worst thing that's ever happened to you in a store you should
count yourself blessed. To reel out some line about the "rudest, most
pretentious asshole on the planet" reflects more on yourself than on Bob,
unless there's an awful lot more to the story you're not telling.
I have no connection with Buffalo Bros whatsoever, except that I spent a
great afternoon there once. I found the staff helpful when you wanted them
and they gave you plenty of space and time to play anything of their
thousand guitars in the store. Yes, a couple of times while I was there I
had to wait a couple of minutes for service when I went to the counter with
a question. But I knew they'd get to me if I kept my shirt on, and when
they did get to me, they offered pretty fair information without as much
sales tripe/hype than most places.
Buffalo Bros must get more "tyre kickers" than most stores. How did they
know you had $4,000 in your pocket. And frankly, why should that matter?
Sounds like they were dealing with a customer on the phone... and that's the
sole basis of your complaint.
I ended up buying a guitar from them. I thought it was a bit over-priced...
we negotiated and came to a deal. I'd very happily buy from them again,
despite the occassional post I've seen like yours. If there was more to the
story, perhaps you should explain it before slagging off a business on the
basis of a few minutes waiting for service.

What would you describe as appropriate behavior
for 'The Jerk'? He was dealing with a customer.
Should he drop that customer because he has
another? What if you were the customer on
the other end of that phone conversation?
Wouldn't you want Bob's full attention?
Or would you be pissed off if he said
"I gotta go now, there's a guy in here
that looks like he's got more money
than you"?
I'm visiting the area. I'm going there today.

I understand your point here. However, the quickest way to get people
not to post critical reviews of stores or anything else is to nit pick
and second guess their behavior. I find it the second most off-putting
tendency on this NG that in a critical post the poster opens him/herself
up to detailed anaylsis of just what they did to create the situation--
who wants to be second guessed and psycholanalyzed because they went to
the trouble to relay a problem they've had -- I understand the comeback
is that there are always 2 sides to a story and both should be
heard--but the only person who was THERE was the original poster and I
find it condescending as hell for others to bebuff and dismiss his
complaint because they *know* better.

Well Roy,
Well now when you decide to trade your Collings back into Baldy Bros. you'll
get maybe 50-60% of your investment. If you had just been a bit more patient
you'd of got 100% at buffalo bros. Also, collings are great instruments but
so are goodalls, but they are different kinds of instruments, one is not
better than the other.

occaision. I got great service and had a great time too. In fact, I'd say it
was one of the friendliest places I've ever shopped. I'm sure I'll buy from
them again someday>>>
I bought a guitar from Tim and Bob at the L.A. Guitar Show last January. As
well as I had thought I checked the guitar out, there was a very hard to see
crack in the neck.
Now, I've always believed in the whole "buyer beware" thing, but I felt I
had to bring this to Tim's attention. Still, I figured that i was out of my
cash and was the new owner of a guitar with a cracked neck.
Tim immediately offered to either take the cost of a repair off the price of
the guitar and refund that cash to me, or he would give me a full refund of
what I paid (just over $500). I opted for the full refund, which he gladly gave
me.
Since then, I've been to Buffalo Brothers a few times, and have never found
them to be arrogant or inconsiderate of their customers.
I'm not going to say that your experience didn't happen, or that your
feelings on the matter are unwarranted. I will say, however, that I think it's
an exception to the rule...

you either love them or you hate them. Personally, I am no longer
interested in dealing with them and don't even bother to look at their
website anymore. The sarcasm, bordering on rudeness, is a bit too thick
and pervasive for my tastes. Maybe Bob is joking -- but it can can be
insurmountable at times.

Ken were you buying new or used guitar? I've found BB's prices on new guitars
very resonable.
I've bought two guitars from BB's and would do so again. Bob is a little
strange, I just chalk it up to his personality. I have driven from the Bay
Area to shop at BB's.
On one occasion I phone and asked if they would bring a specific guitar case to
one of our local Vintage Guitar Shows. No problem. I bought the case, and
enjoyed the show. I thought the customer service was fine.

service, one of the proprietors ignored me on the occasions I had been in,
and the other was quite helpful. But...my sister-in-law went in to purchase
a Collings that my brother had his eye on as a Christmas present for him.
She committed to purchase the guitar and asked the proprietor if it was
possible to buff out some of the scratches on the pick guard. The
proprietor took the guitar from her and informed her it was no longer for
sale; that she was not entitled to purchase that guitar. The proprietor
eventually relented reluctantly after much haggling, and she did purchase
the guitar because she knew my brother really wanted the instrument.
Instead of the rude behavior she was subjected to a simple, "No, the
scratches can't be buffed out for you" would have sufficed.

policies on the website and found they had a NO RETURN policy on new (but not used) acoustics. I emailed them and politely complained about their policy being unacceptable and that I would have to buy from another dealer. They responded: "Good for you." Ask them if they care...about customers.

BB last year, this concerning a mail order used Gibson. I made up a
textfile about it, and over 100 people asked me for it (I've still got
it available, btw). I've bought literally hundreads of guitars in my
life, and suffice it to say I will not buy at BB again.
Yet quite a fwe other people seem satisfied or better with BB. This
split in opinion is unlike that of any other shop I've read about, both
here and other places. Usually a place is rated nearly all the time as
good, so-so or hell.
Strange. I'd say it's PMS, but I doubt Bob gets that.

Just to be fair...
My one experience with them was a very good one, and while they don't
allow returns on new guitars they have a very good upgrade
policy...full credit toward a higher priced model with no time limit,
and assuming the original purchase only shows normal wear.
Now I've never made use of this, but I assume they're as good as their
word...

Maybe everybody should deal with Gary instead. I honestly have had very

It was a used guitar. I agree that BB's prices in general seemed pretty
good. I can remember a couple of Webbers that were very competitive. I
didn't mean to imply they were over-pricers... just that I was able to

have been very happy with his service. He's one person running a large

sometimes fall between the cracks, but he's always made things right.
My 2 cents worth.

I won't do that, for the same reason I didn't post it publicly in the

to close a sale on the phone makes him the biggest jerk on the planet?
If that's the worst any salesperson has treated you, count yourself
lucky. I've dealt with a salesperson (Greg in the VCR/DVD dept.) at
Circuit City in Irvine, CA that made your experience seem like
nirvana. I waited 20 minutes for him while he was closing a sale. No
problem. After he finished the sale I had one question about the VCR
I wanted. He wouldn't give me a straight answer. After 4 times
asking him the same question, he finally answered it. He then added
that he didn't misunderstand my question, but by saying I kept
changing the question. Then he called me a tightwad for asking for
this feature in this price level VCR. When I told him all I wanted
was an answer for my question, he said "I have another customer
waiting to buy a $1500 camcorder. I'm on commission, I don't have
time to answer questions on a $150 VCR".
If you ask me, on your jerk scale, Greg at CC has to be the supreme
jerk of all time.

de Roy G Biv:
> Well, good luck. I sincerely hope you have a better
> experience than I did...
lumpy again:
I drove down there today. Not the easiest
place to find and get to.
Went in with an open mind and no plan
to buy anything. Within the first 60 seconds I
was greeted by Gary. I told him that I had
stumbled across their website and that I had
just come to see all the guitars. I told him
that I wasn't going to buy anything.
Gary told me to play anything I liked. Offered
me picks, chairs, footstools, tuners. He said if
it wasn't quiet enough, I could use one of the
small rooms up front. He said some of the higher
priced acoustics were in the back room. He showed
me where that back room was and told me to go on
in any time I liked and to play anything at all.
After walking up and down all those rows of acoustics,
I settled into the corner with the parlours. They had
every model/wood combination of the Larrivee parlour.
I was able to A/B compare the maple vs rosewood vs
mahog vs koa etc. (I liked the spruce over maple!).
I sat there for about 45 minutes and played a bunch
of tunes. At one point a bluegrass guy came by and
started lightning fast picking some big Martin. When
Gary saw that happen, he came by and asked if I wanted
to move to a more quiet room. I reiterated that I really
wasn't in the market to buy anything, I was just playing
around. He insisted that didn't matter.
Bob came by once and listened while I played
"Somewhere, over the Rainbow". He pulled up a
chair and listened for a couple minutes and
simply said 'Wow'. Didn't seem like a smart ass
or wise guy or any of that.
Bottom line is that I like the place.
I don't doubt that Roy's experience there was
a bad one. And I'm really sorry for that. I work
in the retail industry and I know that working with
customers can be brutal. Some want to be left completely
alone, others want to be helped quite a bit more. The
hardest thing to teach the young people that work in
my stores is how to sense the difference.
I only wish I had a spare $400 in my pocket so
that I could have picked up that maple Larrivee Parlour!
Uh, Honey, I'm not sure where that guitar came from...lumpy

Tim (Bob's brother).
On the few occasions that I've talked to Bob, he's always been poilte
enough. He has a rather dry sense of humor. If you can get past that (which I
deftly can), he ain't a bad guy.
Tim, on the other hand, is a helluva guy, in my book. He has the same sense
of humor as his brother; very dry with a wry wit. Still, when it comes to
customer service, Tim dispenses some of the best I've come across...

very dry, wry wit..coming across off as somewhat removed and disconnected. I
think they had trouble dealing with me as I have probably a drier and more off

to talk about dealing with George Gruhn, I can tell ya soem stories about

I've been to buffalo brothers before, because I had heard that they had the
largest selection of acoustics. and they're only 30 min away from where I
live! wheee... so I went to check them out (at teh time, I had just put
myself on the market for a new guitar).
I browsed for a while, and no one came to ask me anything, which was fine,
since all I wanted to do was just browse. Att he time, he was chatting with
another customer for the longest time.
I sat down on one fo they're stools that they have in every aisle, and just
played away. finally, after maybe another 30 min, he came over, and asked
some questions... "are you looking for another guitar? yes... how far away
are you from purchasing? mabye a few weeks, i'm tryign to decide what I like
right now... etc etc, then he said, well, players are definietly welcome, but
I can't have you just waltz in and spend the afternoon playing.
I couldn't figure out if he was trying to help me, or kick me out.
I also wandered into the back room with really high end guitars. he came in
after me, .. hey chief, these are all high end guitars, you shouldn't be back
here, I usually have it roped off, but since this is your first time, you can
look, just be careful.
I did ahve a chat with him later about guitars, and some of the different
models, he was very helpful after that. very pleasant.
so my impression after my visit was that he's probably making judgements in
the back of his mind about how much money you have, and you're intent to buy.
If he doesn't think you're going to buy soon, he'd probably rather not have
you there.

high end and very high end new guitars, and incredible vintage guitars just
hanging on the walls begging to be played. Couchs and chairs to sit on. No
one to bother you. Play and look as long as you want. Try anything and
everything. Got a question? You can get a straight answer quickly.
And folks this is in New York too!!!

I have to echo Skink - I bought my new 555 through them last year
(saving $hundreds over the local dealer and other mail order folks).
Before deciding on the Taylor, I had one of them on the phone 3 or 4
times, for about 20 minutes each call, reviewing their entire 12 string
inventory, each time they offered up a ton of info on the differences,
condition, playability, etc.
I was able to visit several months later and spent a happy couple of
hours trying out a whole slew of nifty guitars and chatting with a
couple of the guys for a few minutes.
In short, BB seems like a fine establishment and I'll keep them on my
list for when I'm next up for a purchase.

about every high quality guitar they had (except for the $17,000
consignment one). Once they figured out that I was respectful of what
I was holding (shirt unbuttoned in the area of the guitar back, hands
washed before playing, etc.), they let me have the run of the place,
including the chained area.
I found them gracious, and funny. They did give me shit (gentle) for
playing Blackbird (the acoustic "Stairway to Heaven"), and even
suggested some nice Carolan music tunes likely to be to my liking. I
likewise saw them on the phone. Its a small store, and several
salesmen cannot handle everyone simultaneously.

So that's why everybody kept snickering at me Saturday morning at TX1.

I also like that song Joe! A lot of people play it but very few play it well.
My favorite version of it is by Crosby, Stills and Nash. We'll do a duet at
EC4!
