slsmg soloist

[Maximum_Crunch]

I had been awaiting the arrival of a red slsmg soloist at my guitar dealer for months! Well they finally got it in, and I bought it and didnt have time to check it over really good before I went back to work. The first thing I noticed was that the tone knob was slightly bent, as well as the pickup selector switch, so I took it in to get that fixed. Well after picking it up and bringing it home, while I was polishing it up I noticed it had a imperfection in the paint by the bridge post. It had wavy paint. After looking at it with better lighting I realized the guitar had evidentally been squished. The bridge post was slightly pushed down in the guitar. It had some chipped paint around it. So I took it back. I really loved how the guitar played. It was a little heavier then the black one I had played a few months ago. They said my new one should be in, in about 3 weeks. Cant wait.

Sorry to hear that, hope your next one turns out great!

Sorry to hear about this. It really sucks to spend yur hard earned money and end up with a damaged guitar. I feel your pain, I have been there before. I hope to hear better news in 3 weeks.

why are you going through so much pain to get a SLSMG? had one, sold it. They are dime-a-dozen on eBay. They dont hold very good value anyway. So, why buy new? You are talking about the inferno red right?

I have my reasons for buying new. Had i bought used and this same situation happened i would be hard pressed to have my money refunded or the guitar replaced. I also buy new because i choose to support my small local dealer so they don't go out of business due to internet sales and larger dealers who don't know or care who i am. I also got the slsmg cheaper here even though i had to pay Tx sales tax. Inferno red, yes same as my dk2m.

Looks like you have your priorities in order! Good job!

That sucks, but its a good thing you took it back. Nothing is worse than having to deal with something...it will bug you until you sell it, which can be a LONG time.

Hope to hear better news in a few weeks.

Good to hear you're trying to keep the small stores up and running. There are a few good ones around here that are definitely being affected by ebay,etc. I buy things from them time to time, but not guitars- I can't afford to spend another extra $100 for generosity.
