I was thinking I might return it but I really had fallen in love and didn’t want to.
Upon further inspection I found string indentations in the foam shipping block.Īlso, the relief wasn’t quite to my liking so I gave it a little more to silence the buzz and played it for a week while waiting to get it to my setup guy. Didn’t think much about it till later I noticed that the strings had actually made small dents in the frets!!! The strings were also bent. I also, as a force of habit, shook the package gently and got a aid to side wiggle.
Since these don’t ship with a case, they put a foam shipping block over the strings from bridge to but. I also liked the “inspired by Gibson” idea of using historical body specs (although I admit it’s not clear exactly what that means lol). Beautiful guitar! Yes, the finish hooked me. Just got a figured one in Raspberry Iced Tea.
