I couldnt see any way to update the title of my original Incoming NGD, here:
http://www.everythingsg.com/threads/incoming-ngd.28571/#post-402502
It arrived Friday afternoon. Guitar only, no strap or bag. Looks like it had been sitting a while as the frets look kinda tarnished or had some fermented finger oily glaze. The strings were rusty and maybe a little discoloration on a couple of the pickupguard screws, its hard to tell they maybe just didn't match new.
Wiped it down with a little cleaner that has some rubbing alcohol in it to hopefully prevent tetanus!
There is a little pick scratching on the pick guard. No ding, no dents, no chips. One slight pock or little crud in the finish on the back of the body.
Pretty darn close to new condition, except as mentioned.
Tuned it up, plays nicely except for the funky sounding strings. Action and neck relief a bit high. Nut cut appears ok. The fret end tangs and bevels are the smoothest of any guitar I have when I first got it. The HB is too hot for my shi$$y playing, but the controls all work well.
Tuners are pretty crappy.
Frets pretty level, slight high on 10 and 13.
Cleaned her up, new strings, action and relief setup.
Keeper! I will be getting a Mean 90 and tuners soon.
What are the thumbscrews at the bridge height screws for? I loosened them to adjust the height but don't really see a need for them. I don't really see them as intonation adjustment as that would appear quite unstable.
