He won't sell you a guitar if you don't deserve it, he won't sell to handicapped folks, or to anyone but competent players. Sadly, the guy who built this guitar seems to be a jerk.

He coulda used solid plastic for the same effect... yep, and i kinda doubt the neck is made of the same pine, so claiming the

Pine isn't the most stable wood either, it might be interesting how well this guitar plays after a seasonal change or in a humid environment.
