Location: Denver, PA USA | My Elite 5778-4ES is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. And today has been so long waiting for the time to go by. And I work third shift so I have all night to wait. Then get up early and wait for the big white truck. Tomorrow is going to be like a month waiting for this guitar to show up.

| Just remember there is no guitar. The Matrix will make you think it is real when it gets there.
I think this is why all the other guitars sound the same.
It's like the taste of Chicken; The Matrix did not know how guitars are supposed to sound except for Ovations. That's why the rest all sound the same.
Why didn't I take the Blue Pill.

(three more and I hit 2k!) Nope. It is only 9:30. But I don't even want to go to the bathroom in fear they will come when I am in there and not leave it. I have to sign for it. Oh what a day this will be. |

I know just how you feel, William. Put some good music on, try to relax... Better still, play your other guitars. Once the new kid shows up, they probably won't be getting much attention for a while. |

Location: NJ | Bringing a guitar in from a 50degree environment and opening it in a 65degree environ is not gonna crack your guitar. My guitars get subjected to wider swings than that on a weekly basis and have never had a problem.
If it sat on your porch on a sub-freezing day, and you opened it in front the woodstove . . . yeah.
It was either sent that way, or it happened in shipping.
This an eBay purchase?? |

Location: Denver, PA USA | Yes ebay purchase. But I saw pictures before the sale that if it was craked I would have seen it. I didn't think after waiting an hour it would do it with that range of temps either. Unless he was able to photograph it in a way so it could not be seen. But I went to school for photography and it doesn't appear to be a weird angel at all. Either way my guitar has 3 cracks. But I will live with it. Once I take the kids to Awana at church tonight I will have 1 1/2 hours to play with her. But the little I did before she was sweet. |

Bill, good luck what ever you decide. But it was advertised as a new guitar, right? With worn frets? Don't think so. |

Location: Snellville, GA | All I can say about my purchase is swwweeeeeetttt! Absolutely no blemishes or defects besides a broken string and Al threw another pack in to cover that. The 6756 Legend LX is one beautiful guitar sound and
looks. I need to tell you I bought this through Al sight unseen and am not disappointed. This will probably be my last guitar purchase for a long time but if and when I buy another believe me Al will be my first choice for dealers. :cool: |

I took pictures of the cracks. And they don't show up on the pictures. I guess I got snookered. |
