what is this?
I've ended up more confused after doing a few hours worth of digging on this... I picked out 2 guitars last week and had them shipped - a PRS semi hollow and a Fender thinline Tele, semi hollow as well. They were supposed to arrive this past Saturday and they didn't ship because a power supply - yeah, a power supply - for a pedal I bought was on backorder so the whole thing was held. $5600 order and it was held because of an $18 power supply... *rant over*
Now, instead of being delivered in 40+ degree weather, it's going to be dropped on my front doorstep in 3 degree weather (not counting wind chill) and the two guitars have been sitting either in a FedEx warehouse or on a FedEx truck since yesterday - pretty sure neither of those areas are climate controlled. I will be here to bring them in immediately but I have no idea how long I should wait to unbox them. Temp outside should be around 3 degrees and it's 67-68 in my house...
All I've read has talked mainly about urethane finishes checking but should I treat these like I would an acoustic guitar? I've been waiting since last Monday to play these puppies and don't want to wait longer than I have to to get them out but I don't want to screw the finish/structure up by opening the boxes too soon...
Sorry for the book (and bringing another dead horse to beat), I'm just freaking out a little. This order was easy to place but it's been a fiasco trying to get it... All help is appreciated!
