I bought a guitarlele from Taisamlu on "that" auction site two months ago. It showed up quickly. I did have to do a bit of a set up on it adjusting the nut and sanding the saddle quite a bit. I've been playing it all the time, and have really been enjoying it. . It sounds very decent and is pretty darn well made. Yesterday, I noticed a new soundboard crack running from the bridge diagonally down the grain to the bottom edge binding.
I contacted Taisamlu and sent him a picture of the crack. He apologized and asked what I thought he should refund me. The instrument still plays ok, however, I'm afraid the crack is going to grow and get worse over time.
I'm not quite sure how to respond to him. Should I ask for a partial refund, a discount on a uke, a full refund, or ????? I only paid $240 shipped.
I'm perplexed as how to proceed. Any advice appreciated!
