Sat down to play my week old Gibson Songwriter and heard something heavy rattling around inside. Got a flashlight and could see the battery box was loose. That was an Oh no moment.
Put it on the table, removed the strings and tried to see how to fix it. The battery box was wrapped around the wiring. It took almost an hour to untangle the mess. The battery box double sided tape was not even sticky. So, a trip to the hardware store for some double sided tape. Back home I put the new tape on the old Velcro strip and remounted it in an easier location to make battery changing easy. Then, restring the guitar, tune it and two hours later it’s ready to play. First, plugged it in to test the pickup. All okay.
You spend 3k on a guitar you shouldn’t have to fix it the first week.
I guess the upside is that it wasn’t a major repair.
Later, I sent a note to Sweetwater where it was purchased.
