Hey everyone! I received a schecter km 7 artist series in lagoon fade. It’s a beautiful guitar and sounds great but I did notice some little cosmetic issues like some white spots as pictured and looks like possible paint splatter? I’m not too bothered by it but was surprised is all. My main concern is that I noticed that the 22nd and 23rd frets are lifted up slightly from the fretboard, enough so that you can fit a piece of paper underneath them. Looking it up it seems like possibly an easy fix? But I’m not sure if I should return it or not.

I just got this Ibanez alpha (bought new) and noticed some small cracks near the neck pocket. Other than that the guitar itself feels and sounds great. It seems to be just cosmetic and personally i’m not too worried about it.. I also got a really good deal for this, so I’m not trying to be too picky.

I’ve also bought 3 or 4 guitars the last few months including Schecter, Jackson, and Strandberg and all had QC issues from the frets popping off the fretboard to some of the electronics not working properly. It just seems to be the norm these days.

The company I bought it from said I can return it or get even more of a discount on it. What would you do?

I’ve been trying out a few different 7 strings and honestly this has been the most comfortable one yet. I know some people aren’t a fan of the neck but coming from a Strandberg I quite like it. I also really like the ergonomics of the guitar and find it comfortable to play in any position!
