OK folks thanks for all the really great input.
Im keepin 'er. Cranked her up last night and decided I just cant let it go. After reading all the responses, I think the scuffs on the front AND back are just worn through VOS "gunk", and even if delivered pristine, probably would be a matter of days before i added my own.
The headstock scratch, though- looks like a "real scratch". And Im just going to put up with that. The guitar is otherwise perfect and sounds/plays amazing, so thats just gonna be the way it is.
I spoke with the dealer yesterday (Saul), and when I told him I was considering sending it back, he sounded disappointed of course- but didnt argue. He just said "you need to be happy at the end of the day". I can tell you this is NOT the response I expected, and it immediately put me at ease.
Thanks guys!
Nice of Saul!! Just make sure you sleep on it before sending it back. All those scuff marks and what not could be a non-issue after you get a newer one but turns out to be a dud. Lotsa disappointment at the end of the day knowing that the previous was the one instead and had just gotten sold.
Maybe ask for a little discount or something in effect. Down the road you would've probably given it a more real scratch or so. Unless your planning to baby the thing. Your call. I'd a&b it first with the other replacement if i were you.
Cheers and Good Luck!!
Peace!eace2
