NGD. Need quick advice ... see poll.

Yeah, this is the issue. Half an hour? Why does everyone come up with a different length of time?

 

The Firefly thread that @FenderGyrl started is what got me interested, since I have been wanting to dive into P-90 land for the heck of it. Of course then she posts a pic of a Grote jazzbox that is sold the same way as the Firefly. So, I uncharacteristically pulled the trigger. At least with using Amazon ....

BTW, I like your temperature concept.

 

Yeah, I know we can't all agree, I was just hoping for some sort of logical, time tested, universally accepted advice. Okay, I know that was a stoopid expectation.

 

Poll is closing in 12 minutes. Over 60% is saying one hour or less, which I have already passed.

This is getting very exciting.

 

Okay, I liked the idea of allowing warmer air into the box. Being the nature of the beast with all sorts o issues with these guitars and thus a good chance of returning, I didn't want to cut or drill the box. So, I cut the packaging tape all around the the seam.

 

Actually, I was hoping to hear that about two hours ago. It makes total sense to me, but I am a retired engineer, so what do I know?

 

The box came perfect and it was carefully on top of other boxes in the UPS contractor's 4WD SUV, so I am very hopeful.

 

That is exactly what I am wondering. Of course, this is all your fault ya know. Although, I must spread the blame to all of the other TDPRI enablers as well. I am not @blowtorch buying every darn pointy guitar out there that I see. This is the first cheap guitar I have purchased since ... my first guitar many many moons ago. Once I got my MIM strat, I have never gone back to the dark side.

 

Oh, so now you tell me this after waiting patiently for a couple hours.

 

Poll is closed. Over 59% of responders say 1 hour or less and it has been about 2 1/2 hours since delivery.

Let the TDPRI poll rule the world. I'm opening it.
