Next time you get it out, you'll have to get some pictures posted, 'cause ya know what they say, without pictures, it didn't happen.lovecity wrote:Ok, I cheated!
I popped it open to take a quick peek (I'm horrible I know) and while I did felt the guitar (on the front and inside the soundhole) and it was perfectly warm!
Upon a quick inspection... the guitar is amazing and lived up to, if not exceeded, my expectations on the finish/grain!
It's safe back in it's case.. didn't want to push it.
Hi Jerry,thanks for asking.I took it out of the shipping box last night but I haven't cracked the case yet.It's been about 24 hours now.Don't know how much longer I will wait. If I touch the metal hardware on the case it still feels cool,however the metal hardware on my other guitar cases feel cool also and they have been here for years.Everything feels cool in Minnesota.hjarnett wrote:did you open her up yet mitch? my 360/12v64 jg is on the ups truck i hope it gets here soon but like you i have to wait to open it since its coming to indiana from LA
Wow, looks nice! I'm guessing a few seconds of exposure to take a peek and a pic won't have much chance to do damage. After all, the case and everything are at some temperature and a short whiff of air of warmer temp won't be able to change it all that fast.octagon wrote:Hi Jerry,thanks for asking.I took it out of the shipping box last night but I haven't cracked the case yet.It's been about 24 hours now.Don't know how much longer I will wait.

I know what you mean about it being cool, we're supposed to have highs this weekend around -10F here in Montana, just a few miles from Canada...
Agreed, when it comes to stuff like this the only time I would alter from what is considered the accepted norm,jingle_jangle wrote:Whoa!

+1, as much as I love the FG example I have, I'd really like to have a JG version.gregga41 wrote:Suddenly my R.A.S is playing up on me!
I absolutely adore the JG versions of the V64. Great stuff Mitch.
