How long to wait....

[DISTORT6]

Hey, nice box!

Since I'm in South Florida, any guitars from out of state take about a day in Florida to get to me, anyway, so I never wait.

Must be hard for all of you up north!

Hey, nice box!

I got slapped last time I said that

Context matters.

Open the sucker, it's sealed in laquer.

The lacquer is the problem - don't want finish checking.

Moderd finishes , not a problem that I have ever seen.

It's a common problem with nitro. PRS switched to nitro in 2019, but are unable to say which guitars have it as it was a rolling change. As this guitar is a 2019, I'd prefer to be safe - I have a 50/50 shot of it being nitro. As mentioned in my first post, I've seen (and heard) it happen first hand. It was, in fact, a guitar made in the mid 2009, on which it happened, so I'd say that was a pretty modern nitro finish.

I can be patient to be safe, as others mentioned, it's one night.

It never gets cold down here. Heck I already have grass shooting up and a few strawberries already.

I really need to move someplace like that, for a variety of reasons.

This guitar was just in South Florida over the weekend...

I think Tom said it best, "The waiting is the hardest part"

You get your wife to open it. If it checks, you guilt her into replacing it. If it doesn’t, you get to play sooner. It’s a win-win!!!

It's good living baby. Crawfish season is just about upon us. The sugarcane is sprouting up, which means Spring down here is a few weeks away. Mercy! If not for all the Covid BS, the music festivals would be in high gear starting this week with the French Quarter Fest, followed by the Jazz Fest. You know, the ones that were around before the California BS festivals. They have nothing on the party, groceries(food), and spirits at Louisiana Festivals. Oh and there is the music also. Don't just take my word for it, Hans knows a thing or two about this neck of the woods. I am completely convinced the worlds problems can be solved with food, sprits and dessert from these parts. If I ever get a hold of that forum guitar, it will never be the same. No diggity No doubt. Now go open that box already. That guitar is fine!

If the guitar shows up, I’ll bring it to you.

Indeed - there's an NGD thread
