... I really ticked someone off in a former life or something.

I just got off the phone with the store I ordered my new PRS Tremonti Signature from, as most are aware this has been one long, drawn out guitar purchase. Good news my guitar has FINALLY arrived and they called to say they were putting it on the next flight to get to me. (Back ground... no guitar store where I live. Closest store is a 2 hr flight away. They are flying it up as quicker then mail) I was soooo excited and stocked so I asked if he had a look at it. He said he did and it is the most gorgeous grey flame top he's ever seen...

Hold Up??? Grey Flame top??? I ORDERED THE TRI COLOR!!!!!!!!!!!! Why oh why is this purchase being so darn difficult. My heart literally sank in my chest. And once he said grey top he even realized the mistake. Based on the fact that they screwed up the first time around I can honestly say I am not very impressed, and he literally sounded like he wanted to crawl under a rock and die. I know the color is going to have no effect on the tone or performance of the guitar but it was one of the things I fell in love with.

So what to do???? I've waited so long for this guitar and I hit road blocks all over the place. Here is what we have come up with.... they are still going to send me the guitar, should have it Saturday if it makes the flight tomorrow night fingers crossed for that... my luck someone will leave the cargo door open and the darn thing will fall into the atlantic. dry.gif If I am not happy with it I can send it back to them, no charge to me, and they will reorder the right one... or refund me so I can get it else where. They also knocked off another $300 bucks for a final discount of just over $1600 bucks plus they threw in about $150 worth of accessories which I had being shipped anyways. Doesn't really rectify the situation but they are at least trying.... I guess dry.gif

URRRGGGHHH why is this so difficult.... cue whiny voice here.... I just want my darn guitaaaarrrr!!! sigh....

Here is pics of the two guitars although they are both older models you get the idea. Difference with the grey... besides color tongue.gif ... is it has the outlined bird inlays not solid.
