I am disappointed that my new guitar seems to have come with a low battery...

Stupid question part-- If my battery is Low, how does having a little light stay "On" help the situation?
Don't that, like, use-up the battery?

[also, I didn't get any extra shims... Should I have?]

The red light will stay on for hours before the battery becomes so weak the pre-amp won't work. I've played for at least three hours with the light on & the OP40 was still working. I don't know about the shim deal regarding non-US models. All of my US guitars had at least one or two shims. Do you need to raise the saddle?

Aw, No! The action is perfect. Which is good.
I'm kinda disappointed with the Battery tho'...
It is the same kind of No-Name (Songle) Battery that I got with my GC057... another Chinese Celebrity. Can't have sat around that long. Probably just a crappy battery to start with.

About the shims... My Korean Balladeer 4861 came with two shims, and the previous owner still had them after 9 years (and he was the 2nd owner). But my GC057 was Factory Reject "Used", so no shims. I can't remember if I got a wrench or not.
This CC44 came with tags, case, and a wrench, but no shims.
They might be in there already... Who knows.
I haven't had to RAISE the action on any of my guitars.

edit-- Thanx Jason, but I don't need any really. and it has the thin saddle. The only one I've got the has a thick saddle is the USO.

2nd edit-- Oh yeah, I still got one shim from the 4861.
So I'm cool :cool:
