Are they willing to pay the extra costs for the shipping?

Yes they will. Because they wanted to know how much it would cost to send it back.

Ashley: Well I don't know if it was the right thing. Instead of this, I could've bought an ESP (the same as James himself uses). At this moment, it's the only thought that's haunting my mind.

A new one would've been yes, but I'm more comfortable buying used gear to be honest and a used one would've been cheaper. Especially last year, when the dollar value was insanely low.

hopefully you wont have a superglued bridge issue like i did on my first electric, lol. Snapped a string by accidently tuniing it wrong, and wnet to change the stings to discover that somehow, the ball of the D-string got super-glued to the bridge. i hope i got the technical term right, lol. :P

No ETA for that. But I don't really care. I just hope all is gonna be good this time. That's the only thing I'm asking for. Even if it takes them 6 months. But they said they're gonna give it top priority.

Hey, thanks for your concern. :)

After I sent it back, I didn't hear anything for over a month. Not even if it had arrived! Luckily I still had a tracking number and it told me it had arrived over there.
Then I finally heard from them that they received it and that they had it deconstructed and stripped down.
Last week I even received a pic of the progress. Last monday I got a message I will hear about current devellopments soon.

So I have faith that it's gonna be alright. I don't know how long it's gonna take them, but I'm just glad that it arrived there and that they are working on it.

Hey, just seeing this now.

Yeah it has returned here last december. They fixed it right this time. But unfortunatly, it is not my favorite guitar by a long shot, while I did expect it to be that way, especially for that price tag and all the personal invoice I had on it. It's not even in my top 3 of fav guitars that I own now. There are some odd things about it. The sustain (how long it rings out) is not impressive at all, and, the guitar is fucking heavy! Never felt a guitar so heavy in my life, which is very suspicious as well, because I ordered the guitar with lightweight wood...wtf!
So...it's just hanging on my wall. Sometimes I play on it, but it remains an object I could have lived without to this day. Another lessons learned: Don't act so impulsive anymore. I'm just not comfortable with the price tag. I could have bought a whole used car for it (if I wanted of course, which is not the case)!

I don't play it much because I like my others better BUT also, because I don't wanna damage it in any way possible and reduce the value that way. If I end up with money problems, I will sell it. And I will mostly likely lose money on it too, as it is not a widely known brand and the word of other disappointed customers (I've seen plenty now!) is spreading.

Thanks for your concern.
