Here’s a little tale for all to read, especially the ones who are currently waiting for their delayed limited edition guitars… [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Back in the middle of August I ordered a black JS-30WR Warrior at my local music store.
They told me it should arrive one month later, since Fender didn’t have one in stock anymore.
Well, more than six weeks later there still wasn’t any sign of my guitar. Since I already had one bad experience with ordering a Jackson case (which I had to wait five months for!), I decided to ask Fender directly when my guitar might arrive.
They told me they expected the next batch of JS30 models sometime in December…
I really didn’t want to wait two more months, so I cancelled the order at my store and ordered the guitar from an online store; I even called them to make sure they really had this guitar in stock.
Then, 1 1/2 weeks later there was a box waiting for me at home… it seemed kinda slim…
So I opened it to find a JS30 DINKY inside… they had sent me the wrong guitar! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
It took one more week, the hassle with sending the Dinky back, a phone call and a mail (written in a very polite way, but with not very polite content!) until the right guitar arrived.
That was yesterday… [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Now to the guitar:
I’m really satisfied with it so far, for the money it seems to be quite a steal.
Nice neck with good fretwork, no fret ends sticking out, no bad spots on the neck even after I did a quick amateur setup (lowering the action and adjusting intonation).
The build quality reminds me of Japanese performer models I’ve tried… simple and solid [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
But time will tell how well the guitar holds up.
What I really like about it:
It balances perfectly standing up, and you can play it sitting with the guitar in classical position on your left leg or just on your right leg... really comfortable both ways.
The output jack is out of the way as well (the cable isn’t poking into your leg like on low end Rhoads and King V models).
What I don’t like: The stupid white plastic dots… they should just leave them out altogether and give us a guitar with no inlays. But I guess it would look too expensive without the cheap dots… [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I can’t wait to try the guitar through my rig at rehearsal tomorrow!
And finally, here's a pic I took at work today with a borrowed digital camera:
