Guitar Center is usually very friendly regarding returns and guitar condition issues. I only buy used, always try to get a descent price (I am school teacher), but after I get a guitar, I don't mind at all spending some money on it. In my opinion, yes, the D-55 is the best guitar ever made for under $5000. Because tone/sound is #1 to all of us, I would keep it, but I would call Guitar Center and say "hey, this guitar is not as described, the binding is coming loose and.......... and I want to either return it or have you compensate me with $300" (or what you think is fair).
Then accept their offer, if they offer zero, then still keep the guitar and pay to have someone fix it up. Or I might give you $100 more than what you paid GC, plus tax and shipping.....:eek-new:
