Hey guys i've just aquired one of these.
I put it into my tech last week to give it the once over and he has come back with a big problem!
The bow on the neck is not in the usual place i.e between 5-7 frets, its between the 10-12th.
The intonation is impossible to get spot on and notes above the 12th fret are out of tune slightly.
Also the action needs to be a mile high to eliminate buzzing.
Have any of you guys had/come across this problem before?
I gonna contact G & L direct as well but thought i'd get a heads up here too.

Thanks

Hi I knowingly purchased an L2k with a 'ski slope' at the 10th to 12th frets, I took the strings of and let the truss rod go (slackened off) and hung it from a guitar stand that supports the neck at the nut only for a week, restrung it with lighter guage strings and readjusted the truss rod in gently, let it hang and it seems to be around 75% better, its very playable now and almost un noticeable otherwise it would have need major surgury.
