I've got 2 new Gotohs here and while not quite as bad they are similar to yours.

To be fair, only one poster decide to tell him to get fucked. That said, the OP's trem is totally pitted and the worst I have seen come out of their factory.Damn OP asks a reasonable question and then gets fucking eviscerated for no reason. I definitely would be asking the same thing if my "Floyd Killer" looked like that. This thread is weird
Everything okay at home, Champ? Ya doin okay, Slugger? Ya had a little outburst today...you a little upset there, Buddy? Wanna hug it out, Sport?Seriously,
If you have to zoom in with your iphone, it is not a fucking issue.
Customers like you, who want unreasonable perfection, are annoying as fuck, and part of the problem of western society wanting everything perfect and immediately.
Get over yourself. It looks like you haven't even installed it on the fucking guitar yet.
EwwwwwAttaching a pic of my chrome gotoh 1996
...though it WOULD make me wonder if what I had bought was really a legit Gotoh and not a knockoff sold as the real thing, from a third party seller.I literally just ordered a Gotoh 1996 7 string trem for my E-II arrow 7 to replace the Floyd that it has now. Seeing an imperfection on the edge like that, which does not affect performance or feel would not encourage me to go to a forum to question if it was a return or not.

Was my first thought actually. Upon further inspection, mine was a return sold as new. The bag for the screws was opened among other signs.
Coz that's a B stock factory 2nd, fam! Don't nobody want that shit. Send it back do they can sand down the edges smooth and replate it.Was my first thought actually. Upon further inspection, mine was a return sold as new. The bag for the screws was opened among other signs.
Ewwwww
Is that a new ecosystem growing what I see?
Yeah, they're definitely usually better than that. Looks like a QC miss.Worst I've seen on one of these.
My 7 is definitely not quite as nicely finished as my 6 is. They're about a year apart, so maybe this is a recent cost-cutting move?I got my 1996T 7 string bridge in the mail today. It does have some pitting on the side, consistent with the shots of my other two guitars with Gotoh bridges. I still don't see it as an issue being that it isn't a funtional problem nor a highly visible spot to any casual observer.
