Couple issues but man, what a blast to just kick back and rock out to. Kinda improvised the solos but kept a few of the original pieces (kinda!). Pulled the original guitars with the Moises app. I have a rhythm guitar in some parts that I didn't video just to give it a little more fullness...

Yeah, that makes sense based on what I saw when I opened it. If there is soldering needed, I probably wouldn't be much use there so while the shipping is a bummer, at least I know it'll be done right. Hopefully they can do that for the OP.
