Hello Everybody I’m new to this site and this is my first post on here. Shakedown. I feel your pain I had a languedoc copy (from a different builder) that turned out to be a bust as well. My advice is to get rid of it and express your problems to a new guy who builds better replicas. I am writing this post because you gave a different builder you may get one from, I would encourage you to check out http://equatorinstruments.com/homepage.html This guy’s “mini” is basically a Languedoc. Load the pic’s of both side by side, even his neck joint is the same! I was thinking about getting one from him (I heard prices are extremely reasonable), but have recently decided that I don’t really want to play anything but strats. I’ve found my personal sound through them and really feel comfortable playing them. Anyway, Sorry about your guitar I know how it is to be really excited about a guitar only to be let down in the end, and feel ripped off. Hope this helps. Peace.
