Picked up this second generation Grind delivered to my door for $269
Installing new pots, tuners and compression round Smiths along with a good cleaning and conditioner.
 
They're nice instruments, but I just couldn't bond with my six-string. Too heavy (mine was right at 13 pounds) and too dark-sounding, plus the 35" scale was killing my wrist. I ended up gifting it to a band director friend of mine from high school, and he loves it, so all in all I'm still happy I bought it. I made up for the loss by getting two more T-40s. :D

I just tuned up my Grind 4-string after replacing the broken bridge. It sounds great, and plays great. I adjusted the trussrod a tiny bit, and now the action is where it should be.
