It was all standard,
with baby blue body and satin gun oil tint finish on a maple neck.
Its been less than 5 months since then,
and I've moved back to New Zealand.
When I first got the guitar,
I was stoked beyond belief at the playability, pickups, the looks everything.
Except that i noticed a tuner misaligned with the rest (yes i'm a bit picky) and also that the edge of my neck where the flat fretboard meets the semicircle of the back of the neck was very very pale (looked almost like bare, untreated wood).
I didnt think much of the faults at first,
because they didnt effect my playing,
But after 5 months of usage the edges of my fretboard was getting very black and deteriorated,
very fast (and its starting to become more and more noticable).
Is this supposed to happen? Or am i just whining?
I had to work for nearly a year to save up for this guitar (my dream guitar),
and i was assured that the quality of G&L is second to none,
however i am starting to doubt the workmanship of my guitar (mainly the neck).
Is there anything I can do about this?
I brought the guitar brand new (still has plastic on it + i have the receipt of purchase),
and it has always been in the hardshell case.
Every other aspect of the guitar is in perfect shape.
this is the pic of the first fret where i hardly ever play, so its basically untouched.
You can see that the highlighted area is whiter than the other parts of the neck. And this is how the whole neck looked like in the beginning.
Fast forward 5 months and i get the following happening.
You can see the difference here between the fretboard and the headstock. Same edge, different color and angle.
, etc.). The neck sure makes it look old beyond its years. Good luck.
