There's a reason quality guitars cost good money. Lately I've been getting Gibson knock offs to upgrade to something better. No matter what I do there is no way on God's green earth I'm gonna be able to do anything to make that Chinese piece of trash 1/100th of an original Gibson. I can change pickups until you've maxed out your credit cards. I can change hardware until you have enough scrap iron to build a tank. No matter what I do it's still a garbage chunk of wood made by some poor shmuck whose lucky if he's earning a buck a day. Save up your money and buy quality. There's a million used guitars out there that I will be more than happy to help you customize and/or repair. Spare me from telling you to save your money because you bought something for a campfire.

Have gotten in 3 broken headstocks in the last month. All have the same thing in common. They all got knocked off a guitar stand. There's a reason they make guitar cases and it's not for you to use a guitar stand. Guitar stands were designed by people that make wood glue and paint and clearcoat. (no, not really. But you get the point.) Hang your guitar on the wall or put it back in the case if it is not in your hands. It's not that I don't appreciate your business, it's just that I don't like your story about how your kid knocked it over or the dog did it or some other some other line of poo. Admit it. You're a klutz and you screwed up. So don't start whining when you get the bill. You've been warned. Klutz.

As i just found out, my email for the website hasn't been working , like .... forever. just got it sorted out. so if you sent something to the website and didn't get a reply a) you're not alone, b) ya shouda called, and c) sorry. just call me. it's much faster and you'll know i got the message. the phone has a very nagging beep to remind me to check messages. what happens after that ... your guess is as good as mine.
