So I recently bought a new (or Zzounds said it was new at least) Jetstar JT
The unit came with the bridge pickup almost completely sideways
One of the springs under the bridge pickup was bent, the other was broken
Chunks of paint around the fretboard and neck missing
Various scuffs and scratches in the finish
This is the third time Zzounds has sent me a returned guitar and told me that it was brand spanking new.
So far I really like my first Guild product (besides what was clearly a Zzounds mistake) but I'm planning on swapping out the pickups. I tried them for a few weeks and they just weren't for me. I play heavily overdriven/distorted music and really would enjoy something hotter.
I'm swapping out the neck pickup for a GFS Dream 90 and the bridge is being swapped out for my favorite pickup.. the Dipinto P1000 (good luck finding information on that one)
Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. I will update you with my progress.
