Eddie Carlino, I call into question your testicular fortitude (ie manhood)

The Dean forums edited my complaint posts about a Dean V that arrived with a golfball sized chunk missing (not shipping damage, because it was painted inside of the hole).

 

Basically I posted:

 

"This is the last Dean I'll ever buy, it came with a {censored}ing 2 inch hole in it that somehow both Dean and the dealer missed."

 

The next day I came back and my post read something like:

 

"My Dean! Dean has an excellent reputation for quality and customer service. Does anyone know how this could have happened to my Dean?"

 

I couldn't believe it...

 

I kept reposting the real thing and they eventually banned me.

 

Somebody I talked to in the Electric Guitar forum here a few weeks back had an almost identical experience.

 

Doesn't surprise me that they'd ban people for questioning their corrupt dealers as well. Something about that forum is really off.

It was ridiculous. I was having my posts about the damage edited into "How to contact Dean customer service?" and "Does anyone have advice on proper Dean care?" and stuff like that.

 

I can see mods being harsh on obvious trolls but this felt like calling 911 and having the operator go "What? Chicken butt? Hahaha!" and hang up on you when it was a serious headsup for other guitarists.

Here's what happened:


Jon ( Soulfly38 at the ESP Board ) bought an LTD EC-400 from Carlino. Carlino took Jon's $600, and as with all LTDs, waited until the shipment of EC-400s came in stock. When they did, Carlino told Jon that they weren't the right color, and that he'd have to wait for the next shipment.


Fast forward about a year and a half later. Jon threatens to sue Carlino for theft and contacts the BBB, and Carlino finally returns the money. This is after 1.5 YEARS of trying to get in touch with him. Carlino wouldn't answer the phone or any emails until Jon had to send a letter from his attorney, certified, delivery confirmation mail. There's more to it but I can't remember it exactly and I would rather omit details than say incorrect ones.


Dean gets involved when Jon starts to warn other forums that Carlino actively sells on. The Dean Forum is one of those. He goes there, posts his story, and surprisingly quite a few people reported similar experience. In a matter of days the post is deleted.


Dean Guitars forum policy is now "Anyone that talks bad about any Dean dealer gets permabanned".


In other words, Dean Guitars were actively trying to cover up and prevent awareness that one of their dealers is a thief!

 

 

 

Holy {censored}. If that happened to me...let's just say I would be in prison for a very long time. I'm not joking.

On one hand, your experience was lame x infinity. On the other hand, your comparison made me spit coffee through my nose. Banned! :cop:




:lol:
