Ok, as some or many here may know I got that black 83 Charvel Star from Elderly a while back. It's been hacked with Kahler and Floyd conversion, added neck hum, and the misaligned (but functional) neck or pocket holes.
I emailed Elderly and asked if they could have the guy they got it from contact me as I wanted to trace it back to the original owner and see when the mods were done.
They (Jerry) email me back and say "the guy we got it from wasn't the original owner" [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img]
I'm thinking, "Yeah, and...??"
So I email again, saying "that's understandable, but can you have the guy get in touch with me?"
Then he says "We can't give out customer information"
So, assuming he thinks I want them to give me the guy's info, I re-mail to clarify that I want them to give him MY info, not give me HIS info (I'm thinking I've just given them permission to pass along my email address, which is fine).
I get the email back as undeliverable [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
Would this be a sign that I'm on their blocked email list? If so, I think that's pretty damn sh1tty. I told the guy twice I didn't want the guy's info, but that I wanted them to give HIM MY info to research this guitar.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing? Do they do this to people with vintage Fenders and Gibsons, or do they happily act as agents to pass along contact info for those?
Again, I did not ask them to give me any information about the guy they got it from, rather I wanted them to give the guy they got it from MY contact info so I could ask him about the mods and such, and if he didn't know about them (i.e. it was that way when he got it), then maybe he could put me in touch with whoever HE got it from.
Anyhoo, I just thought it was pretty strange to get the email back as undeliverable.
