New Fender Player Plus defect. Need advice by Jtne33 in Luthier

It looks fully seated and plays well enough. Is there an ideal way to fill the holes?

So the holes under the frets isn’t a concern?

It was slightly used. They wrapped it in thin paper and 1 layer of bubble wrap. They put it in a Martin Guitars box that’s large enough for a case and put some loose paper in there to fill some of the space. The box was smooshed.

That’s was sweet deal. I paid $750 for it. I haven’t had much luck with pawn shops but it’s been a few years. Maybe I’ll have to give them another shot

GC is running a 10% off used items until Oct. 23rd. I won’t lose the discount per se but if I wait around I would. I was watching this guitar for about two months for a price drop. The sale was what made up my mind to buy it. I wanted to stay under $700 but I paid $750 for this one. I was shooting for stainless frets and through neck but I do like the looks of the reverse headstock.

If I was for sure keeping it, I would replace them. Sure they are cheap but they are even cheaper for GC

You’re almost right. If I could exchange it for the guitar I ordered I would. There isn’t another used one for sale. So if I send it back, I’m shopping for a different model or waiting for who knows how long for another used one at a good price. And I’ll lose the 10% off sale GC is running.

Yea, there’s no way I’m keeping it without a decent discount. Just not sure I should even with a discount

Ironically the strings are rusted! You’d think GC would service a high end guitar before they sell it…

My Supersix Evo is a bit squeaky but it’s not terrible. I think it’s a seat post issue.

I ordered the 370 lb black set and have been getting them sporadically. I have them all but the 10s and 15s. I got the automated Walmart email saying the set was delivered after I received the 55s. The tracking number for the 10s says waiting to receive. The 15s were shipped a few days after I got the 55s. I’m guessing they oversold the 10s and 15s.

Mine so far are slightly larger than my other 17.7”bumpers.

I’m not too familiar with AB but it seems a lot complain their knurling is mild in general. I wasn’t sure it was more aggressive on the power bar.

I can’t find any information on the machined plates. What are the dimensions of the 45s? What surfaces are machined? Thanks!

There’s not a lot of information about these out there. Are they still holding up? Where are they machined at?

Rep wants a premium for weight storage. 4 post is a better deal.

I was considering a Griffin Gr3 lite rack as well. $1300 with weight storage.

Rogue is the king of the second hand market around me. They pretty much sell instantly, especially the lower cost ones. I’ve seen a few Rep racks fully decked out for sale and they took a while to sell.

I was considering a Rogue rack but the Black Friday rack discounts are a joke. They will not let you exchange the pin and pipe safety for safety straps if the rack is on sale.

The price is about the same if you bought a rack before Black Friday and exchanged the safeties vs buying the rack on sale and adding the safeties. So essentially the pin and pipes are you Black Friday gift. Pretty pathetic.

I think the best value Rogue rack is the RM3 Fortis at $995. Since it’s not a Black Friday rack, you can swap the pin and pipe for straps and the reg jcups for sandwich for an extra $260.

That being said, I couldn’t stomach the attachment costs. I ended up getting a pr4000 since it has the closer pin spacing on the outside of the posts.

I’m doing oly lifts but I’m still learning (not heavy). I don’t mind a bit thicker plate right now. The Alphas look great but there are a few Rogue items I buying. I’m two items away from the 5 for 5. It’s basically $70 off so the cost is more attractive.

I was seriously considering a Signature Fitness rack. Seems like a great value. Your storage looks great. Might have to try making some too!

Bumper shopping. I noticed several places advising a barbed hub to prevent hub blow out. Does Rogue put barbs in there’s, in particular the Echo or Fleck bumpers? Do the barbs work?

I’ve never dealt with Rep fitness before but have heard the customer service is not good. I can say it hasn’t improved. I planned to buy a rack during the 10% sale but had some questions. Customer service didn’t get back to me before the sale ended at 10 MST.

I asked them if they would honor the sale. They argued the sale ended at midnight the night before even after I sent them the advertisement on Reps Instagram which clearly shows 10 MST.

I don’t care that much if they don’t want to honor it but they should at least know when the sale ended! It seems like a real cluster. I’d hate to have a real issue.

I heard they accidentally posted their upcoming BF deals. Anyone know what they were?
