Darn it. I got this at $299. My hand is wounded right now so I haven't been able to use it. it seems to have a nice playable neck.
If you can deal with the sappy color. I can. I like it

How does the gold guard look with the hardware in person? It looks yellow in pics

It's made of metal. It's like brushed steel, but a goudy gold colored metal.
Not sure how soft the metal is. It's likely slightly softer than a pricer metl, so it might scratch easier. don't know. speculating. I think brushed any-metal is prone to pick up scratches.

I don't take it that seriously. It has good action and manuverability. my use is for home practice.

The old bait and switch. I ordered it, and just now got an email saying it's not available as new, but as a open box display. I am seeing if they'll give me a further discount.

No further discount so I canceled it. They tried saying it's not "new in box" but it's still new. Dummies. No it's not. I've seen the condition of GC display items. That's not even close to new in box condition.

I didn't even get the choice. A used open box guitar showed up half taped in a damaged box.

Why did I think this would be any different? This is going back. Yet another waste of time.

I swore off dealing with Guitar Center in the past, but this is the last straw.

Had this in my cart at $299 for a week or two then noticed it was 10% off before I saw this thread and pulled the trigger. Got a brand new one. It's set up perfectly out of the box, sounds and looks amazing. Great deal. Plays and sounds the same as my MiM P Bass from around 2000. (looks far better)

Very happy.
