Why you never deal with Strangletooth...!

[fett]

Bob Newhart had a great act. He was a shrink and had a person that kept talking about the "Problem". She kept talking about it and what she should do. His advice was, "STOP IT!!!!!"

I am just saying, Admins here for the most part treat everyone with respect.

I treat you with respect? I'll hafta rectify that

FWIW~ Pat and Kev

I have another theory as to what happened to the guitar. Pat chimed in and well he seems convincing .

I think Ians wife coulda busted it up. If she hated him buying guitars that bad maybe she went postal on it after discovering it? Just a thought

This occurred to me too. Also, you know, if for any reason she got to it before Ian did, it could be that she wasted it and Ian really thought Pat did it!
If this has been an ongoing problem between them for years, as it sounds like it is, that's quite possible. Destroy the guitar and let the seller or the shipper take the blame. Classic passive-aggressive behavior and if her hubby's rep got ruined over it, maybe he wouldn't have access to buy any more of these!

I know, we already have one Dr. Phil on the thread!

That was one helluva drunken stuper that night.... Ahhhhh, the many faces of NAMM...

Claim? Yes, I would have to think there was.
Were the police called after the shipping? Not that I'm aware of.

And good to meet you to Dave!

Personally, I don't think either guys would do that to *THAT* guitar (in particular). If Pat packed it like it they were originally shipped to us then it is easy for me to see how this damage could have occured.

Look at the pictures, the case was unlatched. That means that guitar could rattle like crazy in the box. That also means the whammy bar and whatever else was in the compartment could rattle around and scratch the shit out of the guitar. I know about this from first hand experience being on the receiving end on of a guitar that shipped with a loose bar in the case.

I think Pat should have included the plate and other case candy because it belongs with the guitar - that was a petty thing to do. At the same time, I understand his frustration with Ian.

Hey. I was thinking. My JCF02 had a latch that would pop open a lot. I got it that way. It even came shipped to me originally from Kevin Easton opened. And it didn't have that much packing in it either as Pat had stated before too.

I think we should blame Kevin Easton for this.


What do you guys think?
