jjrpilot Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi All! Well I'm sure you all remember my post about 1.5 weeks ago: The old NGD Here's the update. I had worked with a gentleman by the name of Rick who works at Leitz Music in Pensacola, FL. His store is an official Gibby dealer. When I received the above guitar with the "ridge" I called him the next day and let him know what I had found and why I was concerned. He didn't ask ONE question, nor did he say or even HINT of accusing me of some wrong doing on my part. That was such a relief. He said to ship it back as Leitz has a great return policy. Rick paid for the shipping back and promptly sent out another new J-45. This one arrived today and is perfect. I can't recommend Rick and Leitz Music enough. If you are looking for a Gibson, and are willing to buy site unseen, trust me, Leitz Music will take care of you. Places like this deserve business. Below are pics of my new J-45 and it sounds like dark chocolate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliasphobias Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Glad to hear it worked out well for you. A nice looking J45. I thought chocolate was reserved for rosewood? Oh well, my newest sounds like peanut butter and jelly but I'm getting used to it. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Glad to hear a good end to the story, and a great looking guitar at that! Just wondering, did you get any input to what the cause of the line in the first guitars finish? rgds - billroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Glad it worked out. I have not been able to bring myself to lay out my hard earned scratch on a guitar I had not held in my sweaty little hands first. I have, however, bought basket cases which were unplayable so also required a leap of faith. Not sure about the "choclatey" thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Now THAT is service! And that is a stunning J45, so happy to hear this story has a positive ending, and your J45 ownership journey now has a 100% positive beginning 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Davis Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Bet it sounds as handsome as it looks. For a dealer like that, it wouldn't pay to look anywhere else on your next purchase. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Thought the dealer name was familiar. I purchased my J-45 from them at a Bee-Three show in 2014. It is the 5-star dealer “custom” model for that year. I meant to stop in last time I was near the Panhandle but never did...next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
