I haven't had a chance to go back quite yet, but I think I'm going to keep it. The model doesn't matter truly, in the end I like the way it feels and plays, so it stays!
I'm thinking of stopping by tomorrow, getting the money back, a pot fixed, and maybe adding some pickup covers? Who knows! But having 300$ in that store could be a bad thing haha.
Unfortunately I think I'm trying to find something with p90s in it to village the void I have here without them haha. I night give one of those epi specials a try!
