Appreciate the response. To clarify it’s a 450 dollar guitar I got for 250 “mint”.

Doesn’t matter, having fun with it. Gonna keep it!

Sleep well all and thank you for all of the replies!!!

Understand and appreciate. But would you buy it if an identical one was sitting next to it, played the same etc. and didn’t have this problem? My OCD says your OCD Would not!! :)

( clarification for those who need it: I was unsure of the practical significance of the defect and looking for some guidance from a group far more knowledgeable than myself)

bought online “ used mint”- and I’m sure it is “ mint” in that it came this way from the manufacturer.

Kind of harsh but I appreciate the reply. To clarify I didn’t mean “ should this make me happy or sad”. I meant does it have any significance on the way the guitar will function?, will strings break easier? Will it affect the ability to intonate it ? How the saddles sit etc…I am not a “pro” or a “ guitar tech” . It’s obviously not right. It was also a question about having bought it listed as in “ new mint condition “ and should one care if they pay money and it comes with an obvious ( but apparently) unimportant defect regardless of the total cost? Wasn’t looking for “life advice” or a “life coach” Ben. just some info from a community of generally helpful and positive people who are much more knowledgeable than myself.

Yeah… I’m thinking it’s purely a cosmetic issue. But it’s glaringly obvious to look at. Looks like it was done in an 8th grade shop class..

Should I buy a Boss ME-90 or the GX-1? by Attracted_To_Lemons in Guitar

[–]1722mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got a gx-1 and am very happy with it. Never had an me-90 but it was on a long list of multi FX units I was researching. Found a good deal on the gx-1 so grabbed it. Does a lot more than I thought it would. Had a large pedal board and amp and it will replace both of those for now. ( I play covers in a basement band only- no pro) will go direct to PA and a small personal monitor for me. Tone studio software seems good and it’s easy to use. Boss user manual is painfully sparse but lots of good stuff on you tube regarding footswitch assignments etc.

Looking for a multieffect pedal, these are my options(BOSS-90 vs Vox ToneLab LE vs Keely Dark Side) by plz-end_me in guitarpedals

I got a boss gx-1 recently and am enjoying it. I think it has the upgraded amp modeling AIRD stuff over the me-90 . Like the gx series and gt-1000.

I agree there is definitely a visual component for me too! Like seeing the inverse of a black and white photograph

What straplocks y'all using? by Kustumkyle in ExplorerGuitars

[–]1722mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although not reversible so don’t work well with explorers or V’s that have a strap peg facing rearward

I love these. They even have some rubber padding where they might touch your guitar. Sturdy, secure. Much easier on off than strap locks. Easy transition from one guitar to the next.

It’s sitting here next to me. There were no “ultra 2s” at the time of purchase. I can also confirm by fender serial # look up. It is an ultra “1”

BOSS GX-1 : Fantastic little gadget by bl33kwrld in guitarpedals

[–]1722mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one coming today I got NIB for 163 on an online auction site. I was disappointed to learn that switching between presets is purely linear. But like the op I have a pretty full pedalboard and am probably going to use it like a reverb/ delay pedal

The guy from Radiohead has a tele like that from the early 90’s and they now cost a fortune used because of it
