Members Tweedledee Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I love the color of the body! I'm a big fan of the P90s/Thinline/Tele body shape combo. Is the neck really that yellow in person or is it the way the photos turned out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FoonkySteve Posted January 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 Now I want pizza. Way sexy! HNGD! That was some good Pizza! Now...... onto my epic tale! So this guitar was odered -pre paid for at the start of december, i was supposed to be buying it myself, but my awesome girlfriend paid the deposit for me, so i only had to pay half, until xmas day that is, when she told me she paid the guitar in full for me! What a girl! So the guitar didn't arrive until yesterday, when i went down and picked it up. I tried it out in the store, and it basically sucked balls in terms of playability. Sounds great, looks geat, plays like a bag o {censored}e. Then this thread happened: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?2863196-Not-So-Happy-New-Guitar-Day..../page2 - thanks guys I went by the advice of half the forumites and started making some minor tweaks, inc adjusting the saddle height and tweaking the truss rod, got it feeling great but buzzing a lot, then the opposite again, then wash rinse, repeat.... I wanted to try and make this work as i didn't want to upset my awesome girlfriend who bought me the guitar, but now unfortunately, i will be going with the advice from the other half of the forumites, and arranging a return this week. Im a bit pissed to be honest, i hope i just got a dog, and another one will be awesome and play like my strat which has the same frickin neck! Lots of Love FoonkySteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deadbeat Son Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 1 - HNGD! (Sort of...)2 - The clip sounds great! I can't imagine what you sound like with one you actually jive with.3 - Sorry to hear you couldn't get it dialed in. If I remember correctly, you said the shop where you got it isn't known for having the best in-house tech. That's also a bummer. I bet a good tech could get it set up proper for you.

It can still be played, it's just far less of an enjoyable experience than playing me ol strat. Yeah the in-house tech isn't te best, but if they offer me to have him set it up, i'll let him have a go, if it's still {censored}, it will have to be returned, i'll end up waiting forever on another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Guyses!! It's going back to the dealer this week for a set-up from the questionable in-house tech!

Members cratz2 Posted January 12, 2012 Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 Sweet! I really like those. The one they have at my local GC is probably the #1 new guitar I'd buy if I were in the market for something tele-ish, something P90-ish or something black-ish. HNGD!
