check your f holes answer

[Guest mgoetting]

I brought the 525 in per Ren's request. He looked at it a moment and rubbed him thumb through the f hole. He then turned to Bill Paige and said, "Bad paint job, Billy" Bill looked at me and said, "We can do better."

 

I asked what the stuff was on the side of the f hole- buffing compound.

 

I told them the f holes don't really bother me and what I want is a pickguard. They want to correct the f holes without charge anyway.

 

A pickguard doesn't usually come on the 525 due to the space constraints between the binding and the neck pup. I pointed out that I've seen it done before. They are giving it to someone else, I think Marv, to figure out.

 

I'll post follow up pics.

glad to hear they are taking care of it for you..It's refreshing to hear someone admit "We can do better" it seems to be pretty rare these days..
