In your position I really wouldn't go around dissing other people's work, considering NoHo has a pretty appalling record in the business you've done with people on these boards.
Not a dis. These things happen! :wink:

Go fix the problems with the mercury...like the tuners being uneven, the bridge pup being off center, then come back and talk shit like your god of guitar building.

I agree. I really like Fiesta. Specially without the clear. Without clear, it looks less like ladies nail polish.

I know it looks odd but actually that was a bit intentional. The neck didn't go in quite right, and it was adjusted to be at the right position which required the neck pocket and neck to be tweaked or moved a bit. I'm definitely not complainin because you cant tell at all when you're playing. Actually, this is one of the best playing guitars.

it has some shadmojo, too. Thats your control plate, knobs and output jack cup. I was confused as shit because the output jack had a nice epiphone logo engraved on and I've never had an epiphone. I remember eventually.

I say leave it as is... don't do a touch up unless it looks perfect, a noticeable cover up would be worse IMO

And I certainly wouldn't refinish the whole guitar because of it...

It looks fresh enough even with that scratch... awesome in fact !!

Great job...

I voted to leave the scratch, but it looks like you managed to fix it just fine.
I'm not a religious person, but I think Michelangelo once said,"To seek perfection is to rival god".
