He did some work on my DV-73. It plays great and sounds even better, but I was frustrated with the line of crap he kept feeding me on the status of the repair. When I asked him to ship my guitar back bacause I was tired of waiting for him to even start, he finished it up, but I think he was rushed, because he put some indentations around the bridge that weren't there before. When I asked him about it, he said he stood by his work, blah blah, but I sure wasn't going to ship it back. Plus there was an ever-changing story of what he thought needed repaired..first he said I needed a new bridge plate, and I was interested in getting a new maple one, then later when under the gun, he didn't replace it. I got the feeling I was getting smoke blown up my butt.
I wouldn't use him again. I wouldn't buy one of his new guitars either. Not sure why it's a common theme for it to take so long with repair shops. If they are up front about it, cool. If I call, then they should say, you're number X in line, I'm going to start on yours next week etc etc.. I hate sending a guitar for a repair, and the guy tells you it will take 6 weeks, then 3 months later you're still sitting at home wondering how long 6 weeks is on their planet. I have another guitar in the shop...and it's seems to be the same deal. I'm the best, 6 weeks, I'll fix it right up, sent it right over. Once they have your guitar....Dead air....grrrrrrr....at least shoot me an email letting me know whats going on.
Rant over!!! :lol:
