Agreed. They should do a quick visual inspection and a quick test fit of the body/neck joint for every kit they send out. It wouldn't take long. I ordered some additional parts and options at the same time so they must have opened up the box to put them in. It's a real shame that they didn't check it out before shipping. Now I have to send the entire kit back, order something else (ES-1Q is out of stock) and *hope* the new kit doesn't have same or similar issues.
