I really don't want to re-write this debacle, so here it is:

G,
Sorry to see that happen...the pics made me angry and its not even my guitar.
Even worse is that with the proper amount of wood glue it is fixable but you can still see a chip in the wood.
A good warning for all of us who buy and sell gear online not to use UPS - I'd stay away from DHL as well (international only now) _________________ When someone asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?"

Thanks for the sympathy
She's on the bench already getting fixed. Tony and I have a plan of attack, so hopefully we'll get it all straightened out. The part that pissed me off the most is that it was shipped without the neck to avoid damage. They either dropped this from 300ft or put around 500lb of stuff on top of it.
It's a really weird place to get a massive crack like that too, so whatever they did to it, I guarantee you it was not standard procedure. _________________ Newest addition: RMO ES-335 Custom Build

Knowing UPS they probably backed over it with their van. _________________ When someone asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?"

wow thats such an odd place to have shipping damage, it looks as if they took a hammer to it or something, but wood glue and clamps and that should be good as new |

People at UPS are a bunch of eff idiots. They're not getting any of my business again.
As for the guitar, it's already in the bench getting fixed up. Should be ready to go tomorrow. _________________ Newest addition: RMO ES-335 Custom Build

Glad to hear it's fixed. I saw your thread on AGF about this. What a crock... makes me pretty certain of not shipping via UPS, especially after seeing that video. Sums it up rather nicely _________________ ᛊᛈᚨᚱᚨ ᛟᚲᚢᚱ ᚠᚱᚨ ᚦᛖ ᛟᚠᛊᚨᛒᚱᛇᛞᛁ ᚨᚠ ᚦᛖ ᚾᛟᚱᚦᚢᚱ |

Yep. I wonder if enough of us got together if we'd be able to start a class action lawsuit. I'm sure AGF alone has enough evidence. _________________ Newest addition: RMO ES-335 Custom Build

I love this, sounds awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on my fixed at sometime before Halloween. It'll be fun. For those wondering, all clips recorded using GarageBand and Guitar Rig 4. _________________ Newest addition: RMO ES-335 Custom Build
