I just went to GC and the sales guy said that guitars come as-is, you pick it up, play it and if you like it, you buy it.
I had to come back because he forgot to give me the whammy bar and then he gave me the wrong one… So now I started thinking: what if he forgot to give me something else like manuals, tools, etc… I just wanna know before going back to the store. Thanks.
You might be able to get manuals from Ibanez themselves….Guitars sold from Guitar Center are as is, and if they wanted to they could have said the guitar you purchased didn't come with a whammy bar when it was traded in…then what? Be happy you at least got that….you get what you pay for
