I was hoping to post a NGD earlier this week but it’s in a shipping black hole. Now I’m concerned about possible heat damage issues.
Default was kind enough to get me a phone number and I confirmed with the PO branch in PA it was shipped 5-Aug to the Philadelphia processing facility. No confirmation it arrived, no tracking, and the “assumption” is that it’s sitting in a container waiting to be processed.
What really concerns me more than the delay it that the guitar has essentially been in an oven all this time during a prolonged heat wave on the east coast.
I intend to have it looked at by a luthier if/when it arrives for visible signs of heat damage. However could there be long-term problems that don’t surface right away?
It is, but it isn’t a common model, being a one-off custom, so I really would hate to have to send it back. Then again I don’t want to have to pay for heat related repairs down the road.
