Re: OK, Ive had it! Guitar problems.

It's called "buyer's remorse." A common phenomenon for new purchases. I
agree with the comment about take a deep breath and relax. The repair issue
is no biggie. Take it in and get another or have this one fixed. Of course
you'll get some hum from the p90's in it and the switch is an easy fix. If
you like the neck and tone don't give up so easy. Let the store fix it and
try it again. Oh and don't use cheap cables. I really like the planet wave
cables I've been using for several years.
