Curious about these. Definitely post.

If that's from Pro Audio Star, there's a 50/50 chance that headstock arrives mashed because the guitar is single boxed (unless it comes with a case)

Whoops meant to reply to the parent comment, grover- sorry!

They said that it comes with a gig bag, so we'll see. And yeah, it's from ProAudioStar. It was like...freakin 50% off of the new price. At 1000, much better value than at 1850.

I really hope you get a good one. I look forward to the NGD. If it's in a gig bag I'm sure the risk of damage is very minimal!

Put a tremolo in there and piezzo switches and you got yourself a Jackson EBMM Petrucci hybrid. lol

Was gonna say, the horns in particular are very reminiscent of a JP. It's like if the DK, the JP, and an RGD had a baby. I can dig it.

Comes with a Gotoh 510FX bridge too. Super comfy bridges. Similar to the Hipshot ones, but they don't dig into your palm as much.

is it me or prices are getting more logical vs what we saw the last 2 yrs ?. Even the baritone new models have features that could have gone for 2k...

I feel like they kind of are? I don't think prices are going down, but rather that they finally aren't going up. The new Fender Player IIs brought back rosewood boards, and now have rolled fingerboard edges. Same price as the old ones instead of a price increase.

Did the thing I ordered on Friday at 5pm ship yet? Real excited for that orange 7 string lol.

Yeah, I think this is really what's happening. The yearly price increase seems to be flat this year, probably so they can sell something.

The used market is definitely starting to trend toward sanity.

Not in Poland. Mfers are trying to sell their old shit for more than you can buy one new.

This came out of nowhere. The CS version was just posted a couple months ago. A Vogg sig cant be far behind.

This is gorgeous. Great price too.
But the main thing is, the Vogg sig seems to be getting closer!
Awaiting Merry Voggmas!

Ooof, def gonna call ProAudioStar tomorrow.

It arrived in one piece, but wasn't exactly packed well.





It was used, but it was listed as Mint. Unfortunately, I wouldn't exactly call a chip in the finish "mint."



It came de-tuned (ok), but string broke as I was tuning it today lol. So I can't even give a great impression. I foolishly did not order any replacement strings and don’t have any good replacements for the low end on hand.

Finally...I'm not really sure what to make of this dead fret? Is it a dead fret? Is the action too low? Does the fret height need to be adjusted?

[Video Processing]

All in all, I wouldn't have bought it had the listing described a chip in the paint and mentioning "you can't play it as is." So I'll call them tomorrow and see what my options are.

Cat likes it though:
