Me again !
Bought some bodies from a guy and as you know, I am not happy with the holes that were drilled for the neck plate. That problem I can fix.
New problem.
I received 3 bodies. 2 of them are 2 piece and the other is made from 4 pieces of swamp ash. The seams where the pieces are glued together are in the exact center of the guitar body running almost dead center from the bottom and right on through the center of the neck pockets. Is this going to be a potential strength problem due to the glued seam's critical location in the neck pocket? Seems I read about this somewhere before, that the seam should NEVER be in the guitar's center.
I bought necks licensed by Fender and they don't fit the neck pockets either.
The guy advertises money back guarantee with shipping.
Should I ship them or try to work with them ? Please help.
