Yet another bitch about Jackson thread

[hippietim]

The way stuff is going is total bullshit. Plain and simple.

Out of a run of 10 fucking PC1s, 4 that I know of have had fucked up sustainers and 2 that I know of arrived with lock nuts flying around the fucking cases - mine was scratched as a result - I'm not sure if the other one got it's scratch attributed to the lock nuts or not.

Every few CS guitars I hear about has something not right but the owners say "but it's not worth sending back for" - myself included. People just give up. It sucks.

I know some of you guys will call this screw counting or say folks are being to picky or whatever. But these guitars cost thousands of dollars. There is no excuse for the volume of fuck ups - a 40% fucked up electronic ratio in one run, big neck pocket gaps, "premium lightweight alder", misaligned bridges, misaligned pickups, poorly painted headstocks, wrong logos, cases that do not fit guitars properly, etc.

There is no way everyone is really getting their money's worth. Everyone is just sucking it up.

My guitar went through final inspection at the end of November as did the few others I heard about. Why the fuck didn't they arrive until February? I suppose everyone was "too busy building the guitars of our dreams" to pack up guitars and leave them out back for the UPS guy.

There is no way I would have bought the limited PC-1 I received for the price I paid if I had a chance to try it out first. I am NOT a satisfied customer on this purchase. In fact, I'd have returned it for a refund if I could.

It is going to be a long time before Jackson/Charvel gets any business from me again. And apparently I'm not alone. Several folks that have received recent customs have said the same thing and some have even canceled orders. And several prominent dealers are no longer taking Custom Shop orders because they're tired of the bullshit too.

And they want to charge even more money for this crap?
