If any of you own a newish dolphin, one of the plastic body ones, could you do me a favour and stick your finger through the sound hole and feel around the underside of the top.
I just did this with my blue dolphin and was gutted to find that all the laminate layers are separating and there are wooden shards and splinters and lose flappy bits of wafer thin timber all over the bloody place, I checked my green dolphin and it's fine so maybe this was just a bad build or something, the top is still intact on the outside but i feel now that only the paint is holding it together.
I will try and somehow get my webcam and a small led light inside so I can show you some pics (good luck with that i hear you cry lol), but I want to know if this is just a one off so if all you plastic dolphin owners could check yours for me I'd much appreciate it. also as no bits of timber have fallen out of the sound hole since I bought it and it feels like some bits it the laminate are completely missing I am assuming it left the factory in this condition.
Seeing as it is only a cheapy and I've owned it for a year and never checked the underside of the top before how do you rate my chances of getting a replacement from the music shop that sold it to me ?, I bought it online from a music shop in Melbourne.
Thanks people
