NawlinzVoodoo Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 She came in yesterday, everything looks great...except one thing one of the volume knob pots is crooked. So, now I need to decide to live with it or send it back and try another one!!!! AHHHHH!! Still, I am enjoying the hell out of it. Funny thing, it's amazing how jealous women get over a piece of wood with strings on it, LMAO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Common. Look closely, is the knob pressed on crooked? Or is the shaft actually bent? You can fix the knob yerself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 ^ What Neo said. I'm sure if you play with it a little, you'll straighten it out. Just don't scratch that beautiful top! That's real nice! Is it actually that dark around the edges, or is it just the way the pics turned out? What's with all the Desertbursts? When I first joined the forum, I think I had the only one...now everybody has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson CS Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The tone knobs on my standard look crooked; I'm pretty sure it's the way the body curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NawlinzVoodoo Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks guys! Yeah she sounds real sweet and warm. Man! I will mess with the knob a bit and see what I can do. Its gonna be really hard to part with it now that I have it, espically over something very minor. Also, thanks to EVERYONE for their help and advice on the chose that I had to make. I feel 100% satisified on my selection of the Trad-Plus!! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjimdom Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Sweet guitar but why is everyone going for the same dark burst? Everyone has their own perspective and own idea of what is nice looking. Personally I prefer the solid colors and the plain tops over heavily flamed bursts. In a traditional I'd go Ebony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NawlinzVoodoo Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Tim, it is quite dark, not black mind you, but a very dark shade of brown. ^ What Neo said.

FennRx Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 THIS from a guy with a BFG in his avatar? :-) touche. my BFG is an ugly *****. but i love the P90 +HB combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yeah, but that's all part of the whole compromise thing - something I refuse to do. Get a Les Paul with P-90's and another with humbuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjimdom Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 THIS from a guy with a BFG in his avatar? :-) Which is why I said to each their own. I don't dislike flame tops and bursts. I just prefer something less refined I suppose. Which is why I have a BFG in my avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
