That's a great deal... buy it! I'm a luthier/tech, and repairing or replacing a bridge isn't a big deal... probably under $100.

The 1:1 bridge reconstruction alone was 140 € ($ 160), German wages, while the old bridge had already been taken off by me (or sanded away, to be precise ride.Ah, you may want to review Cutrofiano's trials and tribulations with attempting to replace the bridge of his F150rce.
Oh - come on......when the factory shut down for Chinese New Year, they went home and did not return. The factory then would have an influx of new untrained workers hired to replace those that went "home"...
Oh - come on...I cannot speak for any knowledge of activities at GREE, but I know that for the Chinese manufacturing house a previous employer used, there was a notable turnover in the factory force every Chinese New Year period. Apparently many workers came from rural China and worked under a contract basis for a given time period. They would save most of their pay and when the factory shut down for Chinese New Year, they went home and did not return. The factory then would have an influx of new untrained workers hired to replace those that went "home". I would suspect that even with the best quality control, that type of shift would have an effect on the production output. That said, it would not have any real impact on design tweaks so the questions on differences from the original GAD series, to the GAD 1XX series to the Westerly Series is still out there....

Hey - now I understand why after Chinese new year's iPhones always suck :apple:Nope, it's true, it was a known problem...
Yep, I do believe Apple was one of those that was hard hit by the annual turnover....Hey - now I understand why after Chinese new year's iPhones always suck :apple:

I was only trying to be funny :tan:
With your help, my friend :kiwi-fruit:I know but when they turn out to have some unrealized potential factual basis they're even funnier.

The multiple short vertical lines in this top are very similar to the top of my 2014 Gibson J-15, which also has a fair amount of cross-silking. It was one of the first J-15s produced, and has a custom-shop label, which I've never seen on another natural-finish J-15. I've wondered if the custom shop aspect of the guitar was this lovely top, which also carries a more light-brownish hue.
Regardless of where the top came from on the J-15, it is incredibly responsive from top to bottom - notes literally leap off of it. If your GAD F-40 has any similar characteristics, it's gotta be a winner!

I know it was a joke but it's a little more complicated than one might guess.So much gushing over this guitar...you're not going to change your user name are you??
