The more I read through older S7 threads, the greater feeling of mine, and others', vindication.
Remember, if you see the following on here from a company, fucking run:
- Too good to be true pricing.
- Rampant endorsing.
- Guitars being sold in a very short span of time.
- Guitars being sold over and over.
- Builders going "production".
- Majority of NGDs and support posted by super new users/blatant shills.
If you see at least two of those circumstances, run. Really. There's not a single builder that has used those tactics that didn't turn out to be a fucking loser.
Yep, I posted my feelings about several S7G guitars that hit the board based solely on what I could EASILY tell from pics as well as the specific issues noted by the folks who had the guitars in their hands and received blowback from several guys on here (many of which still had their S7's in their possession, and strangely enough had ended up listed said guitars within the next few weeks/months... rather bizarre, and completely unrelated, turn of events, eh?! )... I feel much better about saying what I had said back when I said it. Often times pricing that is too good to be true usually is, and when you're paying $2500-3K to a builder who at the time has less than 1-2 dozen builds under their belts, you're likely making a huge mistake. Live and learn I guess, but sometimes folks are pointing this stuff out to help YOU out so you don't get burned months down the road.
Also keep in mind what I posted above is not directed at you Leonardo, I sincerely hope either you get a refund or they send you a non-flawed body if you're okay keeping the neck they sent you. Hopefully the other guys waiting on S7-build Boden's don't get the "SURPRISE, ARTSY WORMHOLES!!!" attempt from Curran on their guitars when they first open the box!
