Make sure the warranty card is filled out.

Yeah.
We opened the case in the store and saw the crack.
But I didn't know about the pots until I took it home.
The dealer called RIC while I was there and we left a message.

I picked mine up today from John at Old Boise Guitar. It is a real looker. I really like the unbound look. Sounds great too. I will get some pictures in the day light by itself and next to the 360.

Sorry to hear about yours Mark. I hope it gets resolved quickly for you.

Mark: Congrats on the 330! Very sorry to hear about the issues - unfortunate indeed but I'm sure it will be sorted out.

Brian: Congrats to you too. I'm going to attack mine with Scratch-X and Zymol today and take some pics. Like you, I like the simplicity of the unbound look but I think a 660 might be something special with the checkered binding. Looking forward to seeing one. I think Darren Trott has one coming, so I might get to see it 'live'!

As promised, pics of the 330 - all polished up with the 'PW' treatment. There are a few specks and blemishes but they are bits of dust and reflections. The finish is pristine!!

Looks superb, Aitch! It's got a very functional yet elegant thing going on. Kinda has the vibe of an old Jag or Bentley sedan...

My thoughts exactly, Paul. Straight out of the walnut-panelled and leather-lounged environs of a "Gentlemens' Club". It has a different smell, too.... a little less 'coconutty' and more 'chemical' - if you can dig that!

Unfortunately it has the classic 330 series 'clubby' neck but it's probably going to end up behind glass anyway, so no real problem.

Congrats, Aitch! She's a beauty. Now, if I'd just hear from my dealer that mine is in...

Thanks, Kris. As they say, "all good things......". Hang in there, mate! I actually feel a little guilty having mine when so many 'locals' are still waiting. Luck of the draw, I suppose, but it does feel odd......

VERY NICE Aitch! Very nice!

Wow, Aitch.... That is truly gorgeous!

Are you gonna send some of those pics to Paul in a bigger format for the calendar? I wouldn't mind looking at that one for a month straight, LOL!

Congrats again! I'm sooooo jealous!

Very nice Aitch. I can't wait to view it (under glass).

Nice , Aitch, great pictures!

Mark, you have my sympathy. I had something similar happen to my 381JK, but thankfully it was only the lower PG on it and not the signature upper guard.

Got to have a look at this personally on Saturday, before it got the treatment. It's come up a treat Howard, great job! Got a nice reflection of yourself in one of the shots too.

I'm sure you'll get special privileges Brian, I think Howard would prefer people handle it, (with care of course), rather than having to continually clean the finger marks and dribble from the glass top case.
