And I named her Goldie. It's very difficult to get the color in the pics, it's actually some sort of gold. I post below the imgur album with the pics.
The guitar was in overall good shape, I imported it from Japan and it's probably the first Refinement to come to Italy.
It's a cool little guitar! It looks like a toy but It's a killer axe. It's small and light and looks great. As it arrived I was disappointed. The setup was terrible, to the limit of being unplayable. I took some time to fix the neck and bridge height; I still need to set the intonation properly but now it's working allright. very very fast neck, kind of unexpected on an LP styled body.
I read everywhere that the pickups are crappy, but they are not that bad actually. I will probably switch to an SD set SH1B+SH1N. Also the pickup switch is broken (it works but the shaft is broken) so I will change it (any advice?).
The big issue I have is that it does not hold tuning and it's strange since it's a fixed bridge. The G string won't stay in tune for more that 5 minutes while playing, then it goes flat. other strings go flat as well. I lubed the nut with a pencil as I always did, but I had no luck. Any idea?
