nicobravo Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I just received my new IBJL Revolution Casino today. It looks like there's a problem with the finish on this one. I know it's not supposed to be glossy or look as refined compared to other finishes but it doesn't look like it was done right to me. There are some "chalky" areas around the edges, both on the front and back and also some random chalky spots on the back of the body. You can actually only see the random spot ones from certain angles but the edge ones you can see from any angle. I'd like to find out if this is a typical issue with this model or if I just have bad luck. Thanks again guys...Nico PS...didn't have time to get any pics yet....maybe later..

White marks in the top coat typically are from poor prep - dampness, etc. They'll peel or bleed out eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Graves Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yup. Gonna have to send it back. Bummer. Besides that, how is it? I love those things. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I had some minor finish issues with mine too, but nothing like you describe. Here's the link: http://forums.epiphone.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=12932 Make sure to take and post some pics before you send it back, very curious to see the problems...

nicobravo Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 OK, here are some pics of some of the more obvious spots. There are other smaller areas besides these. They don't show up as well in the pics as they do in person but I think you kind of get the idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
