(I've been in music stores where owners glared at me for turning up the guitar a little, or for strumming an acoustic firmly. If you're having a hard time hearing, ask to play the guitar in a separate room, or in a quieter part of the store. Strum the open strings hard - listen to the sustain, and note problems like buzzing strings. To hear the tonal qualities of a guitar, it needs to be played at a reasonable volume. Play the guitar the same way you would at home.And, it may go without saying, but avoid using effects. If you're playing an electric guitar, plug into an amp similar to the one you plan to use at home - if you're going to be playing through a small practice amp, don't plug into a Marshall half-stack. Find a guitar that appeals to you, then ask an employee for a stool and a pick (although I'd highly suggest you bring a pick you're comfortable with).
