They only put the image of the headstock on the box since chances are good it will not be attached to the rest of the neck when you open it.

man as a new daughter owner I get it but that's tough to wait

just coming over here to double check that someone posted the Mike Campbell insta post. Agree on all the comments about how great of a guitarist he is - I'm realizing he's one of my favorites, for the same appreciation of his parsimonious style

Ahhh, the ol’ funeral tour. My spot was Jimi’s grave..before they built the tourist trap. The sign in book had thousands of names, in multiple languages, from points around the globe. It was a fun book to flip through.

Had to Google Rhoads’s cause of death at such a young age. Certainly did not fade away. 

Completely unnecessary tragedy. Heartache and poor pilotage don’t mix. Yet that which cannot be defeated remained undefeated.

I would want to get my hands on it to give it a once over before making payment.

I got mine for a good enough price that it didn't matter if it wasn't all original.  But it was priced to sell that way.  This one certainly isn't, so your point is well taken.

I’ve asked for a wellness check to be performed at the Bogeywon place of residence. Hopefully pics of guitar soon after. If the police shoot him, I call dibs on our new guitar. You guys can have the Tele and the amps.

Take your time man. Sorry you are dealing with that right now. 
 

I’ll step up and post something to keep the wolves at bay.

 

Blue balls? No. Blue bass!

Got to be honest it wasn’t packaged great. Hopefully it looks good when I get it out. I’m not having great luck

Well, you've got to give the delivery people a break. 

How are they supposed to know what's in the box?

That’s a showman’s bass.

I’m back. Will post pics today. But I’m gonna post a unpopular option but I may want another PRS or that taylor instead. The AAA top didn’t blow me away. Also I’ll just gonna admit it I think PRS are my favorite guitars to play. Very versatile for what I like to do.

Personally, I think it looks amazing. It's definitely not the perfectly lined up flame or quilted PRS top. I like the character of the grain you have going on there.

However, you basically answered your own question with your first impressions. It's too expensive for you to be disappointed. 

 

Beyond looks, how does it feel/sound?

Plays good. Action is a little high. I’m gonna screw around with it today and see how I feel. It’s cool don’t get me wrong but I’m just unsure tbh

Does everyone immediately get a setup on their new guitar?

Expand  

Depends who I buy from.  When buying from Wildwood, they set it up to my spec before it ships and they are reasonably similar to my environment (Denver is arid and within a couple thousand feet of elevation to where I’m at).  Everywhere else, I’ve needed some adjusting.

As others have said, though, return it if it does not speak to you and demand to be played.

Edit:  My Tele from Austin Vintage guitars didn’t need a set up, either.   Guitars from Sweetwater, Chicago Music Exchange and a couple other lesser known new guitar retailers on Reverb needed set ups.

No that wasn’t me. Have 3 LPs. I may look into some PRS’s or honestly may pick up a nice amp. Just kinda shopping around.

You've sent me down the 914ce rabbit hole. I'm waiting on Wildwood's Taylor guru to get back from vacation.

Your “R” will not lose value. You could strip it’s electrics and case candy and still get $4500. 
 

I have bought and sold guitars for a long fucking time. A LP with a figured flame top will make people write bad checks.

Yeah that’s a real thing. Like I just bought that R8 back in March and I picked up a cherry burst R9 yesterday at Sam Ash just to feel the difference in the necks and I had this visceral “I need this” reaction. Like when I first smelled strawberry shampoo in a young woman’s hair. It gave me tingles.

Since we are talking about R9’s, my brother just bought this new Murphy Labs light aged R9 from Norm’s Rare Guitars in LA.  He claims it is the absolute shit.  I haven’t had a chance to steal er, play it, yet. He sent me several pics and its pretty.  Not overly reliced, maybe a little light chequing is all I see in pics.

Begun the guitar wars have.

So Sweetwater called they have a Noel Gallagher j150 for me! But it’s got a ding on it. Said they can demo it for 10%. Haven’t seen the pics of the damage. Will post pics when I do

So, the Sweetwater executive that previously stole your Gallagher is done playing with it and ready to pass it on to you for a discount?

Sell some plasma or put on something pretty to work the streets for a night and keep both!

I forgot to post this. I know some real wierd people, I seem to attract them. One guy came up with this. I tried and couldn't come up with a good use for it. I dont think im far enough outside the lines.
