I ordered a new custom deluxe. It arrived at dealer yesterday and dealer looked it over before sending it to me and found 2 BB sized depressions in back. Said it didn't look like shipping damage. Disappointed a guitar could leave custom shop with defects. Now I have to wait again? Expected better quality control from custom shop.

Hey I honestly feel your disappointment but so many thousands of guitars are made things like this do happen. Better that it was noticed before you got home with it as then you could of had a serious problem.

Yo!! McFly!!

How about the wrong neck carve after waiting nearly 12 months, and then returned, ostensibly to be handled 'Rush'......another six months and still, not exactly right? After all of that, what's two BB sized dots?

That guitar eventually became a Gilmour whose COA was numbered incorrectly.

It's an imperfect world. :wink:

Just out of curiosity, how do you know what became of the guitar?

I swapped it out for a Gilmour at my usual haunt. Left my CS for the Platinum Room w/a detailed description of the build. (I've described it in these Forums elsewhere several times.) It didn't last long on the wall. Someone with an appreciation for soft V-necks has themselves a great axe. Interesting that the Johnny Hiland PRS which went with it didn't move.
