Got my guitar back but.. I got a Vigier in the end too!

I was thinking should I trade in their own guitar back and hopefully get money off for a better guitar? Ha, that would totally screw them.. I think.

How/Why did he drill a hole through it by changing the pups?!

Which tech/shop was this?

When you screw the pickups into the body, they went right through the body.

Haha! Proper Devries job!

Rhythm in jump. Dancing close to you.

Yeah, unless the cort is exactly what you want, I'd say look, i dont want this, let me have money off another guitar in the shop. then see what theyre selling the cort for and get that off of something you really want!

Aye. That's what I think, like generally not interested in Cort. The only thing really is the fancy graphic on it but I'd trade that for the Parker they have in there!

think to yourself "what would lord ezec do?"

i'd go take whatever i wanted up to equal value maybe a little extra as compensation and tell every my story.
where is this place?

only cos he still wants buisness.
personally i want to know where and who it was so i never go there, and if i know anyone in that area i can advise them to maybe thionk twice about going their.

This means youre in the driving seat. I'd go as far as to ask for a replacement for your guitar (something of equal or greater value) if yours is worth much, if not, something around the price of the cort or that price off of another one.

If they get arsey or are unreasonable, id nicely remind them that word of mouth is a very powerful thing. not only in person but on internet forums as this one.

I'm pretty sure 99% of people on here would think twice about getting work done there if they knew what happened with you and then they got unreasonable about rectifying the situation.

I'd be going mental!

I'm not sure I would be that restrained. I'd be going f*cking mental and want to break stuff.

similar things happen all the time...

was anyone here put off with my tale of woe from Sounds Great Music?
Has anyone seen the thread all over the net about ear candy cabs in the US?

I'm not sure what damage the net does, but still,  if i went to tech and he messed up my guitar at some point id tell everyone i could think of. id feel bad if one of my friends went to the same place and got their guitar ruined too.

[Simon D]

Jesus, I'd be going f*cking mental if a 'tech' did that to one of my guitars! How the hell did he manage to drill through the guitar while direct-mounting a pickup? That probably ranks as one of the worst 'cr@p repairer' tales I've ever seen.

[Ian Price]

something of equal or greater value

Apart from material cost I am not sure what value you can place on a guitar. If someone broke (or damaged) my esquire it wouldn't just be a simple case of replacing it with another guitar or even another esquire.

Thats really a shame, I liked the look of that Ibanez you have, and I don't generally like that type of guitar!
Good luck getting it sorted though

[WezV]

its definately an amature mistake, but then not being able to figure out what switch you needed or how to wire it was also pretty amature wasnt it

but then i inclined am to say mistakes do happen to everyone occasionally and i always reckon you should give a company the chance to put the mistake right first... but then to me putting a mistake right goes far beyond just fixing the mistake!


so who thinks they got the switch sussed ages ago but just didnt want to face up to this.  thats bugs me more than actually making a mistake as its suggests extra dishonesty
