Thanks for the replies guys.
you and the guys on the kramer forums have been very supportive about returning it.
thanks for the confirmation of not accepting it at a discounted rate.
yeah, so they have said give us a couple of days. ill do that. will contact them thurs/fri and see what they have found.
the case is a generic one, i may just return it too, and hit up a pitbull one, i did have a look a little while ago, but thats all i have done.
so, ill get a full refund, and unfortunately wont be able to get the guitar signed by steel panther, that would have been a fun dream, but i want a guitar to play over just a gimic/souvenir factor...
