Location: East Wenatchee, WA | Just took a break at work and pulled a shim (thing looked like a 2x4) and the action now easily rivals my W597 which was like a finely massaged electric.
No buzz (but again, no pick yet) with the action low, fast and smooth. |

I vaguely remember an earlier discussion about this, but I thought it was more of a shiney spot on a dull finish, rather than a dull spot on a shiney finish. You might do a search and see. You are right....it was asked about in the post on another '08, but the conclusion was that they were looking at the pick guard. However, I see the same discoloration/variance, on Dave's pictures (it was Dave right? :confused: ) so it must be how they applied the finish.
Not terribly noticable, but you can definately see it. |

My first HUGE shock that I never noticed in the pictures before is that it has no access panel on the back. :eek: Huh?!? Having used that panel to change batteries on my 1537, then to swap out the electronics on my 2080, I was quite stunned to see no removable manhole cover. How do they deal with repairs? Remove the top? That struck me as very curious. I suspect this also accounts for a lot of the weight reduction in the body of the guitar. It would be a tight fit, but perhaps they'd just pop out the preamp and the preamp can and work through there. |
