Some pics of my blonde one: And with the 1962 Crestwood:

Allen wrench.

Longman had the same problem - here's his "before" pic: But it's an easy fix.

Still it is only optical - the Riviera is standing in front of the Sheraton

Here's my blonde Sheraton: With some friends (Riviera limited Edition and 1962 Crestwood):

The unplugged tone is already wonderfull - I've had (and still have) many semi hollow guitars and i can't think of a better sounding one. Now add the Gibson miniH to the equation ...

No need to be sorry - as I said, it was only setup issues and now it plays and sound wonderfully. Mine's bridge is fine - i have a Riviera (limited edition) with a rattling bridge though, had to put a Tonepro bridge on it. Nut is fine too. Overall, a trully great guitar if you carry out a complete setup.

I received my natural one today. Thx god I'm not a beginner! I would've send it back immediatly - i've never seen such a BAD setup on any guitar, even $100 ones ! Totally unpolished scratchy frets, worst strings I've ever touched, sky high action, baaaaad intonation, unbalanced frequensator ... awfull. Luckily, it's only a setup matter - once the frets are polished, new strings intalled and action and intonation set the way it has to be, the guitar plays great and sounds like I was expecting it to sound: full (even unplugged), with that minihum bite nothing can replace. Stunning beauty too (but not perfect - binding could be better and the back wood is better looking than the front ... if you look VERY close though). So in the end, I'm really happy but this stock setup is a shame - my made in Indonesia Crestwood was fine out of the box, with ok strings (not great but ok), good action, polished frets and absolutely no blems! So, out of the box it's China/USA 0 - Indonesia 1. But I say it again: great guitar in the end.
