My Jackson is shagged :(

[mupps]

Not fair, my Jackson is being a funt.

Now I have a replacement JT580 on the way (been 8 weeks and still no word from the european end of FMIC [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] ) So thats going to be fitted soon.

At the moment I need a new nut and locking bits, as the strings have indented themselves in them (after 9 months!) and on a side note, I wouldn't mind knowing where I can get that and some Dimarzios for cheap in the UK.

Any help would be really nice....

Andy!

Re: My Jackson is shagged

Didn't know shagging your guitars would cause so much damage [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Try out www.coda-music.com

They sell dimarzio's for around £65 and they ship any where in the country i think.

Also as for the new nuts etc maybe you should look into getting locking nuts etc from Fender distributors (sp?). It only took me around 3 days to get an Original Floyd Rose from them.

Re: My Jackson is shagged

Well my local is a Fender dealer and I ordered it from them just before Xmas and it still aint here [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Re: My Jackson is shagged

Some companies are being arseholes lately and seem to be way behind with orders. For example, my drummer ordered a drum hoop from Tama about 6 months ago, she was told it would take 4 weeks. She finally got it but it was in a wrong colour so, she had to go to london to pick up one. So something must be wrong with distribution.

I think the best thing to do is keep on bugging your dealer about it, they'll get their arse's moving if you complain alot [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Re: My Jackson is shagged

Ahh aren't we brits unlucky with parts etc. My KV2 has gone to Fender Service to be fixed....found a huge crack down the neck under the truss road. Still under warranty tho. But I dont expect to see that for an age or two.

As for pickups I always buy my pickups from KGB MUSIC I have always had very good prices and excellent service. I have bought 5 DiMarzio's from there all arrived very quickly and cheaply.

Re: My Jackson is shagged

At least FMIC stepped up to the plate, and is fixing yours.

Re: My Jackson is shagged

There's absolutely no valid reason for you guys to be having trouble like that.

I mean, seriously, how much physical labor is involved in putting a tremolo in a box and taking it to the Post Office? Or maybe they're waiting till the entire UK dealers' have a large enough order that they can ship cheaply. [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

It's a little more expensive than the 580, but if you can find a Schaller Floyd over there, you might wanna go with that, as it's an exact fit and a better unit.

As for Jeremy's KV2 - when did you send it?

Newc, trying to find a Schaller Floyd would be a whole different story [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Re: My Jackson is shagged

I left it in the care of the dealers last week. And when I asked how long it would be they all chuckled and told me not to hold my breath........seems Fender over here isn't the force it should be.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">finding one of those can be a pain in the ass as well. I waited 3 bloody months for it and finally they sayd it would take at least another one. I then said they could stick it up and I went to find another one, what actually also not that easy was.

All the distributionchannels in europe suck, whether it is a european co or elsewhere positioned.

Re: My Jackson is shagged

I imagine anywhere out of the US it must be a ***** to find those Schaller floyds. I shipped one from here to Italy.

Re: My Jackson is shagged

I`ll get you Schaller Floyds if you want them. I`ve got enough parts to make a couple in my Spares box (All new as I try to stock as much as I can get which can be a pain!!) Please e-mail me at [email protected] (work e-mail) or call me on (023) 9282 6466 (PJ`s Guitar Centre, Southsea. Hants) and I`ll try to sort something out. Also, I`ll do Di Marzio`s (or Duncan`s) at £65 each (depending on the model of course).
Cheers

Re: My Jackson is shagged

I'm in the UK too and there's a guy I know who will be doing things like that at good prices in the near future. He deals a bit as well (www.privategeetar.com)...
Of course, Schaller floyds do come up on eBay every now and again!
Cheers

Re: My Jackson is shagged

I order my schaller floyds at www.rockinger.de (germany) and they get to me (in the netherlands) in 2 days (cost approx in british pounds is 114,00 for a chrome one)
