Re: Comparing my current R13 to my starting E11 France

The biggest defect of the E11 France is how the posts are installed. They are glued instead of being threaded into the body and they can move or even fall out. I find that the problem is often exaggerated and as long as you are careful it should be okay(It's not like Buffet is the only company that did this). A good repairman should be able to fix any problems that arise.

If you like the E11 then play the E11 and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. No reason to play an instrument you don't like as much just because it's what all the cool kids play...

Edit: Also with the glued post it is harder to remove them should a problem arise. A good tech who knows what he is doing should be able to get the job done although it might be difficult. This is only a problem if your instrument needs repairs that require a post to be removed. Again I don't think this is something to worry to much about at the moment. If your instrument develops a problem you can always switch back to the R13
