First post to the forum, hello everyone!
I recently purchased my second SE, this time its a black burst Hollowbody II (from sweetwater). (my 8th guitar)
My concern is the guitar has a lot of flex, like I can sharp notes just by my strumming arm resting on it a bit. I can get a 1/4 step just by resting on it / playing, and almost a 1/2 step when I apply a lot pressure. When I first got it there was some "creaking" around the neck joint, but that has mostly gone away now that its acclimated better. There are no signs of cracking or distress.
Is this normal for the SE Hollowbody lineup? I love the guitar, tone is excellent, finish is excellent, playability is great besides the tendency to sharp notes.
I have about 15 out of the 30 day window left to send it back, and I am going to if this is irregular. I will keep it if this is considered normal for these, and just get used to it.
Anyone else have a decent amount of flex on theirs?
