RockinJim Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Well, received the Custom Classic from Guitar Center (thanks to you guys) but the volume knob bridge position doesn't work. Rolls down to zero and volume is basically unchanged. GC is shipping me another one to my local store for a swap. Beautiful guitar and plays better than my gold top Classic but I was disappointed with the defect.

BigKahune Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 . Great lookin pair of LPs. Good luck with the replacement. . B) .
Voodoo Monkey Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I have a cream Custom Classic LP coming in on Tuesday. That's beautiful in Wine Red. Congrats. I really like the baked maple board. I have one on my sg vintage burst and it's great. can't wait to have it on a LP.
RockinJim Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Creme was my second choice. You'll love it, great LP.
charlie brown Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Might be a dumb question, but...did you look inside the back panel? Sounds like a loose wire, which could be quickly soldered...or, at worst, a bad "pot?" Easily fixed/replaced. Seems like, if you love everything else, about it...fit, finish, playability...why risk that, on another one, "sight unseen?" But, whatever....good luck, on the replacement. CB

CB Thanks, I did consider having it fixed, since I am not a DIY tech guy, but ultimately decided to let GC replace it. I doubt I'll be disappointed with the replacement and will look it over before taking it home.
AlanH Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I'm with CB. Can't your local branch fix it for you, Jim.
Willmkent Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 The classic custom sure does play well, I have played a couple of them at my local guitar center, I do have a question, does anyone feel disappointed that only none neck size was offered??

Well, not in my case. I love the neck, on mine! But, it might well be a consideration, for other's, who don't care for that style? As I've mentioned, many times previously, I have guitars with all kinds of neck profiles. So, it takes next to no time, for me to "adapt!" So..??? CB
Murph Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I've grown to love the red wine, I have a Studio that looks almost black from a distance.
Willmkent Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I own One les Paul with a 60's neck and one with a 50's I prefer the 50's but I really think I may have to I'm up one of these anyway. I am really impressed with them

Beautiful guitar and plays better than my gold top Classic but I was disappointed with the defect. I'd try the replacement and if it wasn't as good I'd have the pot changed. Shouldn't this have been checked before it left the factory? It may be a lower model but it's still a lot of money.

I personally love the 60s neck so no worries for me but can understand the disappointment if the other is your preference.
