  • It is so nice to have a good dealer on your side

    We know because we have Matt and others that are so very helpful and professional in dealing with us.
    But listen to what just happened to me this week.

    I've had this Fender CS '54 Strat on order for over 10 months now. You know you just have to forget about those and live life as usual until they show up.
    And showed up it did this week. My dealer (and I won't mention his name since this is not an advertisement) calls me on Wednesday P.M. to tell me its here. I went holy shit!! for real!!
    He talked to me for a good 20 minutes on the phone telling me about it as he inspected it. I told him to be caraful shipping it to me this week (from Chicago) since there is a huricane coming my way. He told me he was going to try to get it tome in two days to beat the storm.
    We hung up and he told me he was going to check into it.

    Next morning when I come into the office there is a message left by him, late the day before, telling me that the guitar is on its way, that it will beat the storm and that whenever I had a chance to call him to do so to settle on the payment and stuff!!!!

    The man shipped it without getting final payment and I owed him a LOT, and I mean a LOT on it ($2K+). Who in their right mind would do such a thing these days!!??
    This guy has scored major points with me, not that he wasn't super cool before. But this just blew my mind away.

    THIS is how you win customers for life. Two major thumbs up from me.

    That sounds like someone with serious interest in customer satisfaction - just what I like [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] Enjoy the guitar when it arrives, and lets see some pics!
    Popular is not the same as good
    Rare is not the same as valuable
    Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

              Of course I did, first I did Thursady A.M.
              Hey! you've go to take care of the hand that feeds you.
              This guy's got a customer for life.

              BTW, I will figure out how to post pics but tis guiatr is incredible, it really is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
              Plays like butter and so comfortable. It was built by Todd Krause and if he cab build axes for Eric Clapton, he can sure build them for this schlep.

                    Nice story to here and glad you got the guitar! Do you have flood insurance by the way? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Sorry, I just finished watching Jeb Bush do a press conference once again!

                      Thank goodness there was no flooding up here, heck there wasn't even that much rain. Feel bad for the guys on the other end though and those guys waiting to get hammered.

                      I kinda hate summer, these f%#@ing storms.

                      BTW, spider I am also planning to order a one-off as well to commemorate the birth of my second daughter. I did it for my first, gotta do it for the second.
                      I am working on the specs and guess who is getting the order?...
