My replacement Ibanez AZ2402 Prestige arrived - What would you do?

[HowieJams]

Guitar is on the way back.
Now to reach out to SW and see what they will do.

TONE = Why we Play

Chips = Character. And anyway, how many people PAY to have someone else relic their guitar?

Keep the one that rocks!

I have played plenty of guitars that were manufactured to be "identical", but one has mojo and the other doesn't. Mojo wins.

If the legendary SW 55 point somehow ( ) missed a significant cosmetic flaw and didn't tell you about it, they should give you some kind of compensation.

I am keeping the original, I will keep you guys posted as to how much they discount.
It is all about Tone and Playability.

Thanks...

You get it, it is not as easy as just plugging in and playing, lol.
I have to sync up the bluetooth for the backing track to my mini amp, of course it always tries to sync to something else, than I have to disable bluetooth on the other device, then my cheap Iphone stand has to be set up in the right position without falling over, then I have to position it correctly to make myself look pretty, etc...

The things I do for you guys, lol.

All that and the video gets 14 views, but if it helps 14 people select gear that is cool.

Sounds like a great plan and nice blues chops

Thanks, as long as I don't try to play fast I am OK. I still can't do triplets after 48 years, lol.
I already sent the replacement back, waiting to hear from Sweetwater about the discount.

 

[HowieJams]

Just heard back from Sweetwater.
They are refunding me $250, which is about 11%.
To get a guitar this good for $1949 after the refund is pretty good.
