bongofury Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just picked up my Ace Budokan and its pretty much the last one to be had except for some floor models in Canada I really love this guitar but I have noticed a few flaws in the finish ones a dimple near the cut out near the binding and also the neck near the top fret seems alittle squareish and slightly not as round as the oppiste side up top. I know its a c type neck and three piece has anyone else noticed these type of things. and is there anythin epiphone could do? I know it's made in china and that makes me crazy. but I do love the guitar. I really dont want to return it because then Iwont be able to get another. when we pay top dollar for these sig guitars the should make sure there 100% thanks Bongo fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Adelfio Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 When you say "dimple" is that alraedy in the wood grain - or is it a ding-type thing in the varnish ? I have a natural dimple within th wood on the top - it dosn't bother me at all. As far as your thought of returning it for that reason, I would think twice before you do it. These are going for over $1,000 on Ebay - as they are very much in demand due to the great features, ( eg. 3 Dimarzio's, ebony fretboard - the overall construction ), even with the flaw that you have - I would keep it. It's a great guitar. Mine arrived not perfect - the sodering of the volume pickup had a bubble in it - and my tech had to re-do that, and there was not a reinforcment nut on the input-jack-plug, so he applied one, ( which is really imortant - as if you keep turning the jack-nut when they losen the wires can rip apart. Epi is know for not putting an inner nut there ), but I am very happy with the axe ! I love Ace too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
