    How would you react if you bought a brand new car and the dealership acted confused/indignant when you asked if it was all ready to go and if there was a tech on staff to make sure the alignment was correct and there was oil in the engine? Most people wouldn't even think to ask, assuming that a brand new car is in fact ready to drive. They certainly would not accept that it would be 2 weeks and cost additional money to get the brand new car functional. Guitar Center told me they'd be happy to put me in the queue and have their "luthier" look at my brand new guitar within the next few weeks at their standard labor rate. So, out the door I went. Well I was having intonation and tuning stability issues almost immediately. Luckily I found a wonderful local luthier who pointed out all the things completely wrong with this guitar that should absolutely not be present -- remnants of glue and oxidation on the fretboard; oscillating tool marks on the fretboard from shotty sanding in the factory; the 2 pickups putting out different output volume; low and high E strings totally out of whack at the bridge....Let's not get started on this terrible bridge design that will go out of alignment with a slight bump of the hand which completely screws up the intonation. $75 later, the guitar is set up and working properly. Next step will be a custom mod to get a Bigsby style bridge to replace the current abomination. I love the tone and playability of the guitar. In that regard I give 5 stars. The 1 star rating is specifically for Guitar Center letting brand new guitars leave their store without even a 5 minute check over. This is absolutely unacceptable and terrible customer service. Never again.
