    Help me decide, please.

    Okay, my previous thread was about the frets being flat. We got over that; it's supposed to be like that. BUT my guitar is very lacking in quality through all these minor details. Here are the pictures:

    The fretboard is also scratched on the sides, everywhere. Seems they didn't use a machine or something to smooth the edges of the neck. Look closely at this; you'll notice.

    So my question to you guys is....

    Should I contact Schecter and ask for a replacement? I've been having a very tough time deciding, so help me out. I already had my guitar replaced once because of a floyd rose problem, and they sent me this one. Honestly, my 200 dollar fender starcaster doesn't have problems like these. So should I? Yes or no?

    Oh and, my guess is that they most likely will replace it for me seeing as they already gave me a messed up guitar once, and this is their second time.

    That seems like a very minor flaw to me, to be honest I probably wouldn't even have noticed if it doesn't mess with your playing. If you want to have it replaced I'm sure they would send you a new one, but that's a very minor flaw imo and not worth the effort.

    I know, it is a very minor flaw and that's why im having trouble deciding. But the thing is, I'm a perfectionist and things like that really bother me; I feel like the guitar's not worth 850 bucks if it has a defect like that. I plan on keeping this guitar for years to come, and that flaw is going to constantly nag at me.

    Good luck dude. With the recent quality issues you could get one that may have other flaws. Just keep the guitar and rock the hell out of it!!!!!!!!!!!

    i wouldnt but if you think you should give it a try then go for it


    worse case scenario is that they send you an even more f'd up one

    Lol well seeing as though this is the second f'd up one they've given me, I think they'll check it for any problems before they send me a new one (if they do). I'd ask just in case anyway. It's such a hassle though >.< I'd have to lose the guitar for like two weeks :/ It's a tough choice, I still don't know yet.

    Thats true, but at the same time the more you ask for replacements the more fed up with you they are gonna get.

    I think I'll keep it for now, but if it really keeps bothering me, I'll call em up.
