Members valentsgrif Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Tech returned my squier with tool marks around the screws and a 1/8" ding on the front. This annoying, but new squier has been back to the shop 2x before this, and I suspect the cheaper the git, the less care you ultimately get?Never had a problem with my American strats.

Members sohc1971 Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I have a gentleman I go to when there is something I just can't quite take care of (like the recent issue with my wife's hollowbody guitar. I was NOT digging around in that thing to replace the jack). He treats all guitars equal. Who is he to judge how much a guitar is worth? He wants to make players happy, and hopefully return to him if they need anything else. It would be bad biz to be a jerk about gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many techs are like that. Thats what drove me to become my own many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Ya know, I see all you guys griping about your techs and I really gotta be grateful for the guy I have. He works out of GC, and does wonderful work. I've never had to leave my guitar overnight, and the longest wait I've ever edured has been a little over 2 hours. Gee, 2 hours at GC, whatEVER will I find to do? =) But seriously, I wish everyone had a guy like I go to. He's an old school fella, who keeps a frickin white Marshall half stack sitting there as his test amp.. How awesome is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather be playing guitar than working on them but if I can't find someone who gives a {censored} I have little choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChihliDog Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Nope, I have 2 places I trust that I can go to, and theyve always treated me like gold even though most of the guitars I have taken in are cheapies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bruce Bennett Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Well, for what it's worth.. I don't treat any guitar better of worse than any other.. If I accept your job, then I will do my best... if I DON"T accept your job . it's most likely because the instrument is not worth the amount of money neccessary to do the repair... And I will usually say so. I hate to see folks throw "good" money after "bad". sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
