edstraker123 Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of a used guitar today from a shop who I asked to give the guitar a once over with a fine tooth comb. I got it out of the case to find this VID_20251015_114804851.mp4 The coil tap isn't working, the tone knob barely does anything and the set up is horrific having tuned it. I paid £1650 knocking them down from £1800. Should I send it back or ask for a big discount - it is a lovely guitar bar the faults. Ed. 1 2 Quote

Joe Nation Posted October 16 Posted October 16 Looks like the fingerboard was taken off at some point, but they've done a rather crappy job of putting it back on. Either that or it's had some major humidity issues and the neck and fingerboard have shrunk/expanded at very different rates. Either way, it's not a good sign. I you really want to keep it, talk to the seller and get them to agree to an independent check-up - then if there's a major issue you can either fix it and get them to pay, or send it back. If you're not 100% dead set on keeping this exact guitar, send it back and find another one. Quote
edstraker123 Posted October 17 Author Posted October 17 It's going back - the shop wouldn't refund me enough to cover the work never mind the impact on it's resale value. 2 Quote
