I’m moving out west this summer and am not looking to bring all my gear, at least on the first trip. So I decided to pull the trigger on a travel guitar. I ended up going with the traveler vaibrant deluxe, it’s their take on a steve vai jem. I really like the way it looks and price wasn’t too bad, got 20% Presidents Day coupon for GC. I got it a couple days ago and am actually surprisingly impressed with it, even tho it came out of China. It’s got a full scale neck and almost zero body to it. I think it’s just over 5lbs. Floyd 1000 which isn’t too bad. The pickups aren’t bad either for being only mid gain. The neck and board feel a little fake to me, but over time I’m getting used to it.
My only issue is it’s a brand new guitar, fresh out of the box. Within 60 seconds I noticed there’s a crack at the neck pocket, probably only finish, but for a brand new guitar? Has anyone dealt with an issue like this before from GC? Don’t really want to go thru the hassle of bringing it back to a store to exchange and have them ship me another one. I’m kinda hoping they’ll knock some more $ off of my purchase price, what do you guys think?
