jwhitcomb3 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I played that one off the rack about a week ago. The skunk stripe was poking out of the back of the neck, and the electronics were popping and making strange sounds. I pointed this out to the salesman, and he took it off the floor. A couple days ago I went back and they’d sanded down the skunk stripe. I didn’t plug it in. I’d be suspicious that the truss rod was over-tightened, popping out the skunk stripe. This was also a rather heavy guitar. Give it a good looking over before deciding to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went over it thoroughly and I was assured that the guitar is fine in all respects. Having been burned once I know the questions to ask, I also saved the several email Q&A's with all of my questions and their written responses. I once bought a used Fender Tele on line, the guitar was fine but the truss rod wasn't. It cost me a new neck and set-up. The old neck has been on the wall in my office ever since as a reminder.

rugby1970 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 UPDATE: I just spoke with the store. They said that the skunk stripe was sticking out and their techs re-glued in; the truss rod is fully operational; the electronics are fine and it plays very nicely. They have a return policy and they said that if I wasn't happy with the guitar I could send it back. I guess that's all good (HA!) but it's too late because the "guitar is in the mail". Oh, shit!!

RobB Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I hope they followed up on the repair with finish work. Raised skunk-stripes are annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the skunk stripe wasn't right; it's too far in nearer the heel. There are sanding marks near it and the neck finish was not repaired. The edge of the neck at the finger board on the bass side is a bit rough. Hey, it was a shot and came with a very fair return policy. Plus, it was offered at an attractive price.
