More on guitar

I still like the guitar, but there are a couple issues I thought I shoud mention...

FIRST PROBLEM
A string broke. OK I know that is no big deal, but I wasn't doing anything at the time to make it break. On examination I found a burr on the bridgeunder where the string broke. This is fairly easy fix and one I've done before. A couple light passes with a small file and I'm ready for new strings. This does appear to be an issue with Epiphone guitars though. I've only had one previous Epiphone and it had an identical problem.

SECOND ISSUE
There is a switch to switsh from neck pick-up, to bridge pick-up to both. The center position (both pick-ups) works intermittently if at all. I figured that was an easy fix and called guitar center to see if they had the switch. When I explained the problem, the guy on the phone said they' just order me a new guitar! (The one I bought was the only one still at the store and was the demo. I'll admit buying the demo kind of bothers me, I like NEW, but the demo you know the sound before you buy)

I don't have new one yet so Guitar Center may screw me around, but so far I'm hopefull.

THIRD ISSUE
This may be a non-issue, but I figured I'd mention it... On surfing the net trying to find more info about my specific model (Epiphone DOT Deluxe VS) I stumbled across how the pickfups are supossed to be set. Assuming the article was right, the pick ups are way to low. Also the posts are not adjusted even closde to the way they should be.

Since it looks like this instrument is going to be replaced anyway, I'll probably play with it myself and see if I even hear a difference. If I screw it up on this guitar and mess up the sound, I'll take the replacement to a luthier.

NEW TOY!!

Not a great picture, but better than nothing. It wasn't expensive for a guitar, only $400, but I needed an amp and stuff also so it was all I could afford. Plays nice as far as I can tell and it does have a nice sound. I think I might need to work on the intonation a bit, or I could bite the bullet and take to a luthier, but I think it' good enough for now.
