  Johnson horror story

I just heard the worst one yet about johnson resos. A guy found one in a pawn shop . The neck was seperated from the body by an inch and the cone was off center so that the strings wouldn't run off the neck. Even for a Johnson, thats bad. It sounds like it must of fallen off the back of a truck. I am always amazed at how popular johnsons are when I hear all the problems,returns and mods that have to be done to make them playable. In what other line of guitars would quality this low be acceptable.? I guess they get away with it because there is nothing else in that price range. I guess I should keep in mind that every now and then a johnson will come along that plays well right out of the box and I guess thats what all those buyers are hoping for. I would only buy a johnson from a dealer who would trouble shoot them and set them up before he shipped.
