kinda just noticed that the 24 fret top markers are not exactly lined up together, but that might not bug most folks. :-/

I'll list the full spec's on it later today. I appreciate all the "HNGD" guys! I re-strung her and lowered the action a little bit. I'm gonna drive down south and have my tech take and look at her later in the week (he's a lot smarter than I am). If I find anything I'll be sure to post it. So far it sounds amazing...kinda easy to get caught up in the aesthetics but I've been walking around the house playing unplugged and she just resonates. I've got aftermaths in my Mayones too and this thing just sounds a lot warmer so far. Hopefully I'll have some videos up soon of everything. :yesway:

That neck is amazing... that top is amazing... ahhh EVERYTHING is amazing.

A scratch is a scratch, but it makes you wonder why he didn't just buff out the scratch in the first place if it is really such a simple task...

HNGD! Take it to a local luthier/tech and have the scratch buffed out. And definitely forward the bill on to BRJ along with the pics - you paid for a new guitar, not a reliced new guitar.

HNGD! Looks gorgeous. Kinda like the headstock, similar to a caparison.

The scratch doesn't look too bad from the photos, but you'd expect it to be perfect. At least its at the back!

Sounds better than a mayones? Damn!

HNGD man, glad you got a beast of a guitar. The scratch is a bummer but it could have been way worse. Also, you nearly put my work PC into a ....ing meltdown with those pics :yesway: Let's hear some clips once you get that killer axe setup.

Glad you have finally received your guitar. Fantastic colour!

Looking at that scratch I'd say it could be buffed out. If you want to try it get some Eternashine and give it a good work over.

Never thought I'd see the day of a freshly build BRJ. Congrats man, this is miraculous!

I know that a scratch like that would normally be unacceptable, but getting a build from Bernie at this hour in the shitstorm is more than most people can wish for.

The guitar: Beautiful man, stunning instrument! Like the headstock too!

Looks great overall (huge bummer about the scratch though). Gives me an iota of hope that I'll see mine.

Way to make a guitar look like a bass :lol:

Congrats, slight shame about the damage though.

The colors on this guitar all work together extremely well. I am glad that only scratching on the back is the worst of your problems.
