My JTV-89 is a dud :(

I had it ordered in 'blood red' by the shop. I had a quick play on it before charging the battery. Everything worked fine. However, since I charged the battery, the guitar has started behaving erratically. The alternate tunings don't always work when they are slected, and the virtual capo function doesn't produce the correct tuning (and sounds horrible, to boot). I can't programme tunings using Workbench either, so I'm pretty disappointed.

 

It's going back to the shop tomorrow and I'll be seeking a working replacement. I'm incredibly disappointed. I had a Variax 300 which I loved, but which had no end of problems. I was hoping that I would not be adding to the internet horror stories I'd read about the JTV models. Alas, it wasn't to be. I love the technology, but really wish Line 6 would get their quality control sorted out. £950 was a lot of my hard-earned money for me to spend on a guitar.
