the quality issues are disappointing. i'm going to go over my guitar carefully and make sure it's up to my standards. on my intrepid, there were setup issues that required filing of the nut, truss rod adjustments, and adjusting the action to make it play decently without being a buzzfest, and to get rid of dead notes. also, the fretboard was spliced on between the nut and the first fret, instead of being one continuous piece of wood. there were weird blotches and flaws in the satin finish, and there were globs of glue on the fretboard both between and around frets here and there. still, with a setup and some care, it played really well, and sounded good.

so i'm hoping these aren't global mistakes, but are isolated incidents. as for the frets, i only care if the pitch is off when playing them. i'll also have to steel wool them if they are rough.

so yeah, i'm prepared for inspection.
