Members Bbreaker Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I've played about 7 or 8 Trussarts (Steelcasters and Steel DeVilles) and every one of them had fret over hang. Two Steelcasters had neck stress marks/finish cracks around the 1st to 3rd frets. Holey front and holey backs were wavey. Another had a Bigsby not mounted flush to the body.What gives? Did I just play some dogs or are many JT just expensive metal guitars with poor QC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members strtdv Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I've read several guitar mag reviews where they had the same problem with the sharp fret ends overhanging the fingerboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riffy Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I have played 3 JT guitars. I did notice fret overhang on all of them. It wasn't so bad though that it gave me problems though. On the other hand, all of them either had a slightly wavy back or front on them though. For all I know though, that could be the nature of the metal honestly. I loved the way all of them sounded though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aenemated Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 the word "perfection" doesn't even begin to describe the fretwork, feel, action and smoothness of my steel deville. this was the same case with the roughly 20 or so i played while getting a tour of the shop. and james proudly stands by every guitar that comes out of his shop and will gladly address any issues.
