ok picking up after my almost NGD a quick what happened next story .
K so Friday me no pick up guitar from post office ! Post office girl nice ! says Monday me sayz ok but me still check tracking updates , updates say nothing !
Today Saturday , me and boy go to movie ... watch black panther it was good ! then we go to grand parents do some work , eat good food watch more movie , it was good 2
come home now it be dark 7pm find box in dark by mail box .
ok yeah so over not happy at the same time thank the guitar GOD it was still there as I had no idea it was there or going to be.
another lesson learned , make sure the seller requests signature ! I know to me its a Duh ! moment one that should not have to be asked for the love of !
ok my fault too .
lets move on . The guitar is beautiful 06 F40 sunburst in about as great shape one could ask for certainly the gentle man who bought it as new old stock in 2012 was truthful.
its pretty much factory fresh even the end pin is not in it and all what looks like original packaging components like the cleaner pads warranty cards and the likes are included with a case to match.
Ahhh but I theres always something right ? well at least with me , in this case theres finish cracks along the the top banding and splice block on the tail piece. do some of you remember that one guitar I do thing it was that NH F30 with the white crack lines in the finish around the head stock cap same thing here .
Now this just could due to expansion and contraction but I feel it needs to be addressed it was not disclosed either but it might not have been seen so we will see what the out come is later a email was sent out . in the mean just a few pics until i know if it stays or goes .
oh , I played her to at the moment I can say this F40 is not a NH F30 not that it should be but the tone and clarity between the two is way off . I can say this guitar has been played but very rarely as I can just about count the pick scratches on the pick guard there are none on the body.
That being said Adirondack takes longer to open up so it may not yet have matured. the top defiantly has vibration akin to Adi so I have some hopes if she stays but again bracing and top tuning is everything if the bracing is Adi from my research that could cause a conflict giving the top a more mellow tone then I would care for.
the banding looks like leopard wood or something like it , some thing they never should have covered up LOL
