I got two RG8s, both of which I had to send back due to production defects/flaws.
Apart from this guitar, I also had to send back many other Ibanez guitars in the past because of flaws or defects. And even if the flaws I am mentioning are 'only' cosmetic, that still is a flaw in my book. If I pay flawless cash for a new guitar, it should be ok also cosmetically, IMO.
As much as I love Ibanez guitars (when you do get a good one it will be an awesome guitar) , I do think their quality control might have some issues that desperately need fixing.
These guitars will go through at least 2 quality controls, one I guess would be at the Ibanez factory, and then another one at the distributor (MEINL, Germany in my case). I can't believe how it's possible a flawed guitar will pass both of these?!
I understand that in mass production you will get some flawed products, but if a guitar is obviously flawed, mark it off as b-stock and sell it as such.
Just my 2 cents.
sorry for going a bit OT here, but the frustration just got to me.....
