That sucks Steve. !!
I was all the way in for the HNGD.

Some days you're the hammer.... And some days you're the nail.

 

[ninjaking67]

It seems that most days, I’m the nail!

Some days you're the hammer.... And some days you're the nail.

Or some days you're the pigeon, other days you're the statue

 

[Headache]

Some days the windshield, some days, the bug.

 

[Ozzie]

Well, that Bites! Sorry to see your NGD Ruined like that.

 

[Beagle]

You hit that on the head...

 

[Headache]

Any news?

Yes, yesterday I finally got a message on reverb that just said
sorry, we are mailing you a return label for a refund.

Ok then. I guess I'm mailing it back.

I sent them 3 messages saying I was ok to keep it and fix it if they would just refund part of it... They kind of ignored all that. It is what it is. I wonder what it sounds like ha ha didn't even get to plug it in.

That's where I bought it.

Active pickups, hot ! It looks like it would kick ass.

That's what I thought too!
I read something that said they had grounding issues and hoped they had been fixed.
So before I packed it back up and stuffed it in it's box, I plugged it in and just held it close to straight with my left hand and chugged some on the 6th string. I had to know if I was going to be buying another one with the refund or not...

Sadly, it sounded kind of if sluggish (as best I could tell) and there was a very noticeable grounding issue. So apparently they have not fixed that issue yet.

It looks hot, I'll give it that.

Worst case is slam some EMG's in it with their wiring kit.

Gibson scale set neck V for $269? Nice, but -
ouch!
At least you can look it over for build quality.
Can't fault strength of neck joint....
