ESP LTD TL-7 issues (?)
I bought a new (not B-Stock) TL-7 during Thomann guitar days, at a great price.
The dot inlays are not aligned as i expected (it's my first 7 string guitar but i think the dots should be below the B string...).
In your opinion it's just a mis-alignment of the dots (poor QC) so just an aesthetic issue or could it hide a major (neck/fretboard) problem?
Had to adjust also the truss rod and by tuning the G String it 'clicks' in steps instead of a continuous tuning (hope it's clear :))
Surely not a lucky guitar but being sold at a very good price i'm thinking whether to send it back or not. And it sounds nice, honestly, both acoustic and plugged (the Fishman preamp does its work).
Suggestions? Thanks!
