    I am hoping the ragged edges on the tape job are from the picture being reduced in size.
    Who knows.
    I may need to have this repainted.
    Or not.. who gives a fuck.
    It's a shame that with all that flashy hardware we couldn't get the paint right.

    Thanks for the video. Haven't seen that is years....

          If you are looking for a museum piece to hang in a glass case and sell for your retirement, I would bitch .

          If not I guess we could see what your belt buckle does to it in a week of playing.(no harsh)

          I know nothing about what is expected by guitarists or what the money spent, should bring.

          It does look like the inside of the neck pocket should have been masked off the fit in there is wood on wood and any insertion is going to stress the paint / top coats and pop off a chip.

          So layers of finish need to be different thicknesses depending on stress levels of the crushing tension of binding wood to wood, wood flexes..and there you go.

          I would ask the finisher to take a 100 off the bill and chill or I would ask him to redo it, if for the museum or a investment to sell, not play. and he should say yes without argument.In either scenario.

          So, I don't think you are wrong to bitch, just maybe be kind to your crafstman we are a tender artist type easily insulted.

          Generally nothing is perfect to us so we are allways depressed and ask too much of ourselves.


          Peace
