Looks legit to me. I have one of the newer versions with the edge pro and rounder neck profile. It plays like a champ and I love that thing. That being said I also have a uv7bk that I love little more.
I mean I guess it sucks that it had really minor issues, but i definitely wouldn't send the guitar back. That is just me though. I almost get the feeling that you weren't super stoked on it to begin with and had buyers remorse. Either way I hope you get the guitar you want at the end of the day.
I am a bit of a cubing enthusiast. The one you pictured is actually my favorite cube (for speed). Overall feel and solidness I actually really like the MoYu ghost cube. I am in the same boat as you, all of my friends tell me that I should do cubing competitions and I have to explain to them that...
I feel bad for whomever sold that guitar to them. I mean maybe they weren't attached to it at all, but yeah they must have given them like 200 for it. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Can't wait for the new album. It says Kris is helping with a couple of songs and doing some guest soloing, and it doesn't look like lonestar is going anywhere. In my opinion their albums keep getting better, and I am sure this one will be no exception. They have hopped labels a lot so I am glad...
