Recently i bought a EX-5 and a EXA-7 kit.
Whille the Bass was almost perfect ( frets were good everything fit and was working) , the guitar well no so good is an understatement...
it's been over a month of work now and it still isn't playable..

-2 tuning pegs were faulty ( they kept cutting my strings )
- the heel of the neck wasn't straight/ flush with the body
- 2 pretty big dents in the neck (from shipping i presume)
-the radius of the fretboard is wrong ( difficult to explain good but if you look at the fretboard one side is higher)
-Frets are not to the edges of the fretboard ( had to replace 4 frets that were too short)
-5 frets were not seated properly into the neck ( they were done so badly that i had to replace 2 frets)
-volume pot broken( could infinitly turn)


I have very mixed feelings, the bass was perfect but the guitar ( especially the neck) was complete rubbish.
Does it happen alot that there are factory mistakes? or is this an exeption?
The worst part is that the guitar was on back order so i had to wait long aswell before it could be shipped.
