Well, here ya go folks...
I was included in the JCF02 series "Big Red" I paid a $1000 "deposit" for the guitar last December. ( The $1000 has no bearing on the price of the guitar, it's not any specific denomination or percentage )
Anyway, as many of you know, I decided to get rid of the bulk of my gear, all the pro and expensive stuff anyway. Well, when I did this, I talked with the admin's, 2 of them anyway and told them I'd like to back out if I can, and open a slot for someone who wants in, they can simply take my number over. So we discussed this, they decided to seek a member to assume my number, thy did. This person also paid a deposit for the same guitar to Easton Guitars. This was in July, so I waited a few weeks thinking Easton would simply send my deposit back, or this new person would simply re-imburse me for my deposit and assume the number/guitar.
Well, I talked to Kevin at least 4 times via telephone, I've sent numerous emails, at least 15 at this point. The first email I sent, I got a response the next day, basically stating that KimE would cut a check and get it out tomorrow, great! No prob!
Well, a few weeks went by and I followed up and again, got a response the next day, perhaps 2 days later stating the check was sh!t on or sumpin [img]/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img] and to resend an address and he'd use UPS or something, well that was the 24th of August, I wrote again and called the following week asking for a tracking number, again, no response... I've called and I was told that it would be sent, at least one admin has talked to him and he said he'd call me, well, the phone never rang. Even today, iw as to get a call, had I and was assured that a check would be sent and I get it by tomorrow or even Friday, this post wouldn't exist.
It takes a lot for me to come out with something like this, especially since KE is looked up to by some because of his history with Jackson, well I'm not a afraid to make it public after countless pleas and waiting and waiting patiently. If the majority of you were in my shoes, I know for fact you wouldn't have waited this long. I'm certainly glad I really haven't needed the cash for something important like a house payment or an Echo for my son or something. But either way, there's simply no excuse for this type of thing to happen to anyone.
So here I am, out a $1000 and can't get a response from the guy, WTF??? What to do? WTF should I do??? [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
I firmly believe at this point that Easton is using my money to help finance something and I certainly hope it's not the JCF02 or the 29/30 others who have paid deposits or even paid in full for a guitar that they "may" owe a full invoice for. That's a whole lot of cash hanging around there.
And I will say this, if there's a JCF03 and Easton is sponsoring it or doing the ordering, I'm out permanently.
With much regret...
