My Story: I got interested in the Loog guitars about a year and a half ago. The Loog Kickstarter had three models, a rectangular model Loog I, the most popular (and common to find) Loog II, and a triangular model Loog III. I finally won the most common one (II) on ShopGoodwill about a month later. I’d never seen the other two models for sale, until last week, when I saw the triangular Loog III on ShpGoodwill. In the last hour, I threw a “large” number at it to be sure I’d win. Amazingly, two other people bid on it, bringing the price up from $19.99 to $35. Still not bad. I anxiously awaited its arrival.
Observation: I picked the box up at FEDEX Office. While walking out I rotated the box and heard the guitars and pieces shifting inside, sliding from one end to the other. NOT a good sign!! When I got home I opened the box and saw a wad of packing paper loosely filling maybe half the box. I pulled out the guitar to find parts of one of the tuners missing. I upended the box and they fell out. It looked like the screw and gear fell off, releasing the knob shaft. But why was the screw still in the gear?? It turns out the end of the tuner shaft broke off and was still attached to the screw! I attempted to remove the tuner from the guitar but the shaft wouldn’t budge. I had to pound the shaft out of the hole! I took pictures, thinking about sending them a nastygram about poor packing and asking for a partial refund. I had a customer’s guitar to work on, so I put it away until the next day.
