If there is something wrong with a guitar you buy, you raise it with the seller in the first few days & try to agree on a solution to the problem. After you have owned the guitar for a couple of weeks it becomes the responsibility of the buyer, & it's far too late to expect the seller to resolve any problems that may or may not have arisen in the time since the sale.It was only a set up too John, i am the once bitten twice shy type, i now have an excellent luthier, he is a little expensive but i know guys with Vintage Gibbo's that won't take them anywhere else......suits me just fine.JohnA wrote:If Leadguitar123 says Tyms is not the best place to take it, then why take it there? I would also say that if simple stuff like checking the relief on the neck require you to take the guitar in to a repair shop, then perhaps you are not really qualified to make a judgement on the state of the guitar.
Ah I see...the only error I made here, was mentioning who the seller was....stratman323 wrote:What an absurd thread.
Or does greco-burst expect a lifetime guarantee with a second-hand guitar?

No, the mistake you made was saying that the guitar was fine when you bought it, and then later claiming that it was faulty all along, even though it took you months to notice the apparent problem.I'll just restate the obvious. The beginning doesn't make you look good, Grecoburst. It's ridiculous to start complaining about a guitar two years or so after you bought it. Try it with a new one, sometime, and see how far you get. But it's especially ridiculous when the guitar is so old, and after you were so effusive in your earlier praise.greco_burst wrote:Take another good look at the beginning here?
When you made your statement "buyer beware" earlier on, it might be that you were talking about Cat's Eyes or old guitars in general rather than about DaveWW, but I can certainly understand why Dave would have found your comments insulting.Mickdal wrote:You had that guitar for over 3 weeks, nearly 1 month before emailing me with a concern?

Some folk even seem to think that a month would be too long to leave it.

Better late than never.
