My guess would probably be that the shipper laid the box face down and put something really heavy on top of it -- and the indestructo-packaging was the only thing that saved it from complete oblivion.
I like to think I've entered the "no new guitars" phase of my life, but then I saw that Triple Threat, and... yeah...
Glad it's going to a HFC'er ! Congrats!
Oh, the Dirty Harry wasn't bad. It's just HOT, and I wanted to try something else in it. It's staying with the guitar, will go with it if I ever sell it.
The Gravelin I've got in it is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s. Absolutely the right decision for me.
One more e-type. I’ve pulled out the Dirty Harry pickup and put a glorious Gravelin in mine. LOVE the neck on this!
