New one just showed up (again), and guess what? There's a finish flaw in
EXACTLY the same place in the neck joint!! Almost identical to the last one, a bit smaller. I've already yanked the neck on this one, however, and confirmed that it is just a finish crack and not a crack in the pocket. And again, we're talking
minute here. Most people would never notice. It makes me wonder if there's some piece of equipment used on these that could cause a scratch in precisely the same place. I just about crapped when I eyeballed the pocket and saw it.... talk about deja vu :P
Anyway... other than one other very miniscule finish blem in an unnoticable location, she's perfect. I'm blown away already by what little playing i've done on it. I'm sure i'll have more to say on that later...
But now a question... isn't the 7421XL supposed to have V7/V8? If these are a V7/8 they are a) totally unmarked and b) seem to be much hotter. I've made no adjustments on 'em yet and they are screamin'. Anyone else notice this on there's?
Now for a real set of strings....
