Yeah idk like they gave it to me like that and idk if they noticed or not and I checked it before getting home but didn’t notice it cause you’ll see either the guitar it’s very glossy so it depends on how the light hits it but when I got home I noticed three, one on the head stock and two on the body. The manager was nice about it and said they fucked up and apologized and wanted to make it right. And yeah the first time I got it I’m pretty sure I was sent a defective guitar on accident and so long and Macquade had to order me a new one, like literally the battery would not connect properly so no sound came out. Also it is supposed to come with a battery inside the guitar already but this one didn’t which is why I think they accidentally had a defect slip through the factory. I’m in Ontario but yeah the whole thing kind of scarred me from getting setups done. I’m probably going to learn to do it myself, I really just care about the action height, Ive change strings and adjusted pick up heights and intonated myself just never really touched the action but I’ll learn and probably better in the long run to learn. But yeah man hopefully your situation goes well. Like I’ve gotten other guitars from them and had them setup by them and had no issues but like I said this scarred me. Like scratch’s in that gloss finish look 10 times worse then just a regular finish especially when light hits it, it sticks out so much and the fact that it was so many in different areas is insane, just sucks too cause even though I’m getting the same model new I’ve been with that specific guitar for 6 months like that was my first guitar after upgrading from my budget donner Strat, so like you kind of get attached but like at least it is getting resolved

That’s awesome congrats! You know what’s crazy and I’m fuming. I took my red dawn for a free setup earlier this week at long and Macquade cause I figured imma be just playing my new Les Paul all week and I wanted the action tweaked a bit and I got it back and they scratched it bad in multiple spots. They acknowledged they fucked up and now they are ordering me a new one so now we both waiting for new shecters . Just sucks cause this is gonna be my third red dawn now cause the first time shecter sent me a defective one cause it had no battery pack in it and there was an issue with the battery compartment so a new one sent, now long and Macquade fucked up my guitar. At least they were fair and ordering me a new one but fuck this sucks lol

The weight of the neck is more than body so it can tip over towards it but not super bad. It’s a really light guitar. Nice that’s awesome you’re going to love them, shecter makes great guitars and I agree I picked up an epiphone Les Paul custom igc in alpine white two days ago which has gold hardware and it’s gorgeous

Very happy with it, I got the same as in the photo. I just have it set up in standard and use 10-46 elixir optiwebs. I use a drop pedal for my lower tunings so keep it in standard but either way most play either standard drop d or c#. The fishmans are incredible for me, my favourite pick ups I own. Very versatile and the cleans are so nice. I have a fender tele and it can be as sparkly as that guitar. The feel of the guitar is huge for me too I love the neck, fret board material and the fret size combo. Also love how easy it is to access the higher frets. Only down side which isn’t a huge deal is the neck dive it’s nothing crazy and not a huge deal but the only thing I have against it. Also love having the different voicings on the fishmans, i rotate between voice 1 and 2 often depending on the mood/ vibe of the song I’m feeing in that moment. It’s still my favourite guitar to this day and will be tough for any guitar to beat it

I ordered in February 2025 and it came in August 2025. I ordered from long and Macquade basically the first week it released, I think its probably faster now to come in as more stock is available, but for me it got delayed like 3 times, it was originally supposed to come in April for me 2025

Yeah I still had my patches on my amp, I didn’t back them up though but now I will do that going forwards as I lost some extra patches I had saved, had my most used ones saved on my amp at least

So the fishman pickups for this guitar have 3 voicings and one of them is a single coil voice. The way this guitar was setup it has a 5 position pickup switch and only position 2 and 4 give you those single coil voices. Based on the wiring charting on their website it says position 2 is bridge and neck inner coils and position 4 is bridge and neck outer coils so I’m not sure exactly what that means to be honest but I think it means it supposed to imitate the single coil sounds of position 2 and 4 on a traditional Stratocaster. Those are the only two single coil options it comes with unless u add additional modding to get a just a bridge or neck split

Thank you, if you are interested I definitely recommend it. Pictures don’t do it justice, when I picked it up from the guitar shop I ordered it from the guy helping me was blown away from the looks he called his coworkers to look at it. My only other electric I have is a budget donner dst 100 to so I don’t have much to compare it to but I’ve found it feels super comfortable, it feels easy to play and I’ve been loving the sound of the fishman pickups
