One of the pickups on mine went bad 2 years ago. I ended up sending it to Rewind in Utah, after two trips to Lindy, who couldn’t fix it. This put the fear of god in me, and I’ll only use it on safe local one nighters. Mine has the locking tuners, and with the 9’s -no neck pocket crack. It’s a great guitar that I don’t ever see myself selling. The triple soapies get me close enough sonically.
