Bought last month. Absolutely gorgeous (totally changed my mind about relic'd instruments), but, as much as I love it, it's wrong for me. I'm 6 feet 7 tall and where my right arm hangs/plays is behind where the wear is (ie. on normal sized people) and right on the sharp corner :(

Good thing you mentioned the playing comfort as a very tall guy - I’m 6’8” so would likely have the same issue! Though I only play with fingers…are you a pick player @6feet7?

I play with both (well, a thumb pick or fingers or both). If I had my forearm where everyone else does then I was playing over the 19th fret. A friend of mine (only 6 feet tall) has played it and his hand and forearm are exactly where you'd want to be. I had a Jackson David Ellefson and that was the same. I'm guessing all T'bird style basses will have this issue (or should I say, all very tall bass players will have this issue with T'bird style basses).
