Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

It was professionally set up at the music shop where I bought it 40 years ago!

LOL Well, that's a nice bonus. By that you mean they set it up after you bought it, or it was on the rack and already came 'set up'?

They set it up after I bought it. They sent it to the luthier on staff and actually had a meeting with him and I where he explained some of the nuances of that particular guitar to me

That's cool. Many shops don't do that - or charge extra for it these days. It's usually about $100 extra.

Sweetwater has a 50-something point inspection, but only for guitars over a certain price - and it should NOT be considered a set up. It's nothing of the sort. It's just basically making sure nothing's broken.
