Re: Kevin Easton

Jack! Great to see you at the show!!
I'm sorry we couldn't take more time to talk.
busy ya know.
But I did have a detailed conversation about your specific guitar today!
And PS: that was kind of matt to step in.
thanks matt-
I also offer my services to step in and get involved esp. since I'm IN Texas and have a lot of contacts here.
HOWEVER, after the conversation I had today about your guitar, you will not need Matt's help nor mine (Vwall Guitars) though I hope EVERYONE here KNOWS that Matt's Music AND Vwall Guitars are here to help you guys in any way we can!
Many of you know Matt and I have had our rivalries and we may always will.
But I would jump out to help Matt if he needed it without hesitation and I'm sure he would do it for me.
These are very type of things we all need to brother up on!

I just want to let you know that your Custom Shop is being taken care of my the absolutely finest representative for Jackson guitars and you will
be taken care of on it.
As for your deposit 1300 was it? with KE, you have legal ground to get that back, and further, KE is liable to Jackson on personal guarantees.. its a standard biz contract and all dealers sign a personal guarantee so KE is hung by the nuts no matter what he pulls
for that order he signed and placed.

I'm sorry it all went down for KE this way, he is a nice guy at heart but as matt and I know, running a biz and taking care of the customer is well more important than good intentions!

Again, rest at ease, you will get this all worked out ASAP and have the top folks working on it!

Re: Kevin Easton

Thanks Matt and Scott. I talked with Edel briefly today and he has asked me to give him a few days to staighten some things out. I know I'll get the guitar through someone but this whole process is pretty dis-enchanting right now.

Re: Kevin Easton

Surely if KE has lost Jackson, he'll loose all the other FMIC products as well?...

Re: Kevin Easton

Good Q Nelli, not sure about that one... I would think there's "some" seperation there, but who knows... What will he do if he can't sell "Strat packs" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Kevin Easton

From the small bits I know I think it was the other way around, he lost Fender. I talked with him last night and he maintains he is still a Jackson dealer. Which is what he has maintained from the start. Still waiting to hear back from Edel to confirm.

Re: Kevin Easton

Well, I heard at NAMM that he was NOT a dealer for Jackson anymore. So if he's still saying he is, it just goes along with everything else over the last 8+ months...

Who knows, certainly a waste however you look at it.

Re: Kevin Easton

alright just had a phone call with KE, and he's gonna send me a cheque.
great, huh?

I really can't believe it...
it's about the worst thing that could have happened to me.

I took about all the money I got, had a horrible living standart for almoust a 10 months to get that thing payed, I waited for about 15months and now he tells me they didn't even start building that thing!!!!

"I'm not gonna deal with anybody of this company again"

I don't want any money, I want that frickin guitar!!!
that's why I gave him my money!!!

I'm sooooo damn pissed to say the least...

I must say it is not Jackson's fault at all.
It is Easton that never forwarded your order to Jackson and decided to keep the deposit until now.
He basically stole your money and kept it with him until you found out about the whole mess.
I hope he is not going to do this with other people who are buying other brands from him.
This is getting to sound like Ed Roman who has been ripping people off by selling fakes and treating people bad when calling him up on phone but taking people's money and not even ordering the products is even worst because you are not even getting anything but lies and BS.

Now I really hope you to get your money back ASAP and very sorry to hear after waiting for so long and your order was never placed with Jackson...that really sux..

I am really sorry to hear this. I was hoping yours wasn't going to turn into this. I still haven't heard from Edel as to what is going to happen to my order. Talked to him for about 30 seconds yesterday and he didn't have time to talk. If you don't get your money let me know. I live nearby and from what Scott posted he is on the hook for your money.

Talk to Matt or Scott and they can get you hooked up. It's not Jackson's Fault.

I am glad I posted about my problem now. I wasn't sure if I should or not. At least you know what is going on and not waiting for years to get something that will never show.

Re: Kevin Easton

thx guys.

ya, it was a good idea to start this thread.
I always had a high meaning of easton, he was a great guy to deal with in our earlier transactions, I'd never have thought of this kind of hazzle, without reading your post.
and I really wonder, when easton would have given ME a call, if I didn't call him.

what sucks is; easton offered that guitar, that had pretty much exactly the specs I had in mind with my dream guitar, and ordered it in a small run, for a quite cheap price.
if my order didn't arrive at jackson, I have no deal with them. and I doubt they will offer me the price again easton gave me, when he ordered a few of them, ya know?

I just jumped into it, reading that he ordered these guitars, since I new I would hardly get it that cheap again.
I took all the money of my alternate service, since I new during studies I wouldn't be able to lay anything back since somehow I have to have something to eat at least in these years.
I wanted to do some studies in music and thought I'd take the chance and the few months I earn some money, to get me the best instrument I could get for this.

I know it's not jacksons fault, but I'm so disappointed and not really optimistic to get that chance again.

so far, I'll let you know how it ends.


thx for your support, this forum and you guys rock a lot!!

Re: Kevin Easton

Fuck it, sue him. I think you have grounds for a lawsuit.

Easton was good to deal with until he got all my money. Then I never heard from him. It took me nearly a year just to get a USA select he told me would take 3 months. He's a dick.
