Maybe I will try and bring you more of these. They may prove interesting and informative and give you a real insight into the quality standard I aim to provide my customers.
Todays example is one of those borderline areas where I think "Is it just me being "me" or is this just not right?" Frankly I am past caring as I tend to urr on the side of "If I don't like it, nor will some of my customers!".
It is a G&L Legacy in natural ash. A wonderful guitar which at £479 online is staggering value and puts the Fender Standard Stratocaster to shame.
However, this model is in 2 pieces but the 2 sides are in my opinion very poorly matched. I don't think the photo gives you the sense of "difference" as much as it felt when I opened the box and the distributor could easily argue I am on dangerous ground but I don't think it is too much to ask for a guitar that looks like one guitar and not 2 stuck together!
My distribution partners are well aware of my quality control and are always happy to oblige in returns - thankfully!

You can discuss annoying wood grain on my forum. Thought it would make an interesting topic!!

To ensure anyone can benefit from this highly personalized service we subsidize the delivery costs from our pocket - not yours, resulting in the following delivery charges*
Any delivery to Western Europe £15.
Eastern Europe £25

Every guitar is packed personally by Richard. We purchase especially strengthened outer cartons and pack each guitar in a way that guarantees the guitar will come out the box as it went in - perfect.
If you bought your guitar from an alternate source it would cost you at least £50 to have it play to the standard that we set our guitars AS standard.
Why would you want to buy from a faceless online store if you can buy from someone who values every customer and their personal needs?
I do hope we can help you further as we provide the service you wish you could find locally!
