I got a super cheap Epiphone LP Junior second hand for £40. Not a think wrong with it (well the tone knob was working as a volume pot!). Then I got to strip it and paint it and it's been no end of problems! I will have another go at painting it again this year. Maybe the stuff will dry this time? Good lucky, i never buy this model, i believe that i will continue with epiphone almost for les paul model but if can chenge any is too many easy make it. Thank you for info However don't will sell my hb I'm curious to see how they will be in 10 years, but think not to buy others in the future.

You are not a lucky person, ttmax! What I find particularly sad reading this is Thomann could not guarantee that a replacement T-20 would not be free of a similar defect. This is probably because nobody in the warehouse would have the time to inspect it and the Quality Control card that you would find when you open the box would possibly be put there by the factory in the Far East. Call Thomann and ask to speak with Jack So what do we do with this guitar? If you do not wish to contact the seller for a refund then the only thing that I can suggest is make it playable and try to forget about those blemimshes under the lacquer and the little cracks on the binding. Then complete the relicing job!

I remember that one but forget how it ended. So the paint is still wet, sticky to touch?

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

I dissolved and scraped all the paint off at the end of the summer when it became clear that I was wasting my time waiting for it to get touchable. It's still in pieces and I'm not beginning to think about spraying it again till UK humidity drops and sun stays out. I began it last February or March. This time I'm waiting till May.

Anyone know if on sc-450+ tone pots are linear or logarithm? Thank you Mine had one of each. No joke They should be log but still mostly take effect between 0 and 5. The linear one worked between 0 and 2.
