for similar issues. I guess I am kind of shocked that G&L is letting this go out the door.
I thought the first one just maybe got overlooked. Now the second with the same issues.
I have seen the post on the string alignment issue. Its still happening in 2016 and no not ever guitar
is knocked out of alignment in shipment. I took the first one to my guitar tech guy to ask him what should
I do? He was not sure the alignment was possible, 1/16 + to the high E side. Showed him the fret edges.
Are you gong to send this back? he asked. Said he could smooth them and file frets for $150, plus a $50 setup.
Here are the pics (ignore the pick guard pics) 3rd and 4th to last pic is the first guitar I sent back. Plus scratches on chrome around pickup selector.
G&L needs to know about what is being sent out. What do I do? Guitar sounds great.

You may have copy it and post into your browser depending on browser you use. I use Chrome.
I understand fret sprouting, I think. But this is a brand new guitar and I got 2 in a row like this.
My others guitars do not have this issue with rough fret edges and never have to date.

Anyway this is about to be fixed. I contacted Ben in repairs and sent him the pics. He has agreed to fix the guitar and issued an RMA. I will ship
it to him on Friday and he exprects about a week before shipment back to me. I feel like G&L Guitars have steped up to the plate and I feel much better as a customer and can keep my Guitar to play. Thanks for all your comments, as I will keep you posted on this.
