Ouch. It's a shame you can't play before you pay as with most instruments I'm familiar with. I've played some very expensive guitars that were utter crap and would've been ready to kill something/somebody if I had purchased blind.

You'll most likely be able to have it worked on (right?), but thats more $$ of course.

I feel for ya BD. I hate big money purchases.
