Hey guys I'm fairly new here. I was just reading the horror stories about buying CS guitars and the COA not matching or the store trying the give you a Deluxe case. I am planning on purchasing a CS 63 reissue from Guitar Center this will be my first CS guitar so would someone please tell me everything I should check out before I purchase & leave the store. I have seen pics of Cases do all have the CS logo in the top of the case? Thanks I appreciate the info.

Check out the specs of the guitars here on the website. If necessary, print them out and take with you so that you can check that all is well when you make your purchase.
Certifcate must be there, and matching the serial # on either the neck plate, or bridge plate depending on the model.

Not all CS cases have the Cs logo in the top. It's usually ltd editions, and artist models etc. that have that, and a Time Machine model will just have a case that is correct for the period, whether it be a tweed case or a black or brown tolex one. A '63 Telecaster, for instance, will have a black hardshell case, with an orange interior!

Be sure to ask GC if the guitar is "previously owned". If it has then there would be a chance that certain items (case candy, or a strap) may not be included. In the past, I've had GC try things like not including the case.
