Marky Forrest Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks for the review. I've been itching for a NGD and have been considering a Studio. I hope the newer models are better than yours (no offense). I have to go play a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glp2012 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I feel bad for people who have Gibson's from the 50's and 60's...those guitars must really suck. So much for aged guitars being better. Thanks for the opinion review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eracer_Team Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 So you used your guitar and expected it to be like new years/gigs later. (Ie pots and nut issues with out addressing them) Just like driving a car you're going need service. Wonder how long a car would last with no oil change. And just like a car with no paint exposed to the elements , you "hastliy" stripped the finish off the guitar and never finished the job. Somehow all this is the guitars fault and it never lived up to a Fender as mentioned in the "article/review " I guess carbon fiber guitars weren't around then but it sound like that's what you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't my fault. Granted everything else was. I should have taken better care of it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Where did the finish start peeling away? Was it all over the guitar or just in a certain spot? That stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlovesgin Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Where did the finish start peeling away? Was it all over the guitar or just in a certain spot? That stinks. On the top on the edge a little down from the endpoint. Honestly when the eboby finish peeled off to reveal the maple top it looked horrible. I literally had my sandpaper out the same night. I'd had the guitar for around 8 years prior to this so you can't say it didn't have a chance to settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
