Got profanity back from Guitar West when I advised the retailer that the TRC on the DE-500 was upside. He said "Go F***k yourself. Stay away from Guiitars West!

I think I bought something from them. Guitar came with a t-shirt. It doesn’t fit. Should I light it on fire?

I wonder what would happen if every LTG member emailed them about the TRC? :glee:

looks like the D40 on their main page may have a similar issue.
As a side note - one would think that with today's nearly instant message sharing a seller would think twice about making such a statement to a potential client....

More profanity from Guitars West:
"Dick"Cohen,
Again, go f**k (asterisks supplied by me) yourself again, and again.
I've done close to 3mil. on Ebay and so I don't need some smart *** circle jerk telling what's what.
Please tell your colleague the same thing I've told you... If you can say any thing nice keep your ****ing mouth shut...
And have a blessed day, Gary

Guitar West has three Guilds listed and TRC upside down on two. Suppose arrogance and ignorance go together in his case.
If I had unlimited funds, I would fly to CA and visit GW. Betcha I could make him a nervous wreck. Cannot imagine anyone feeling comfortable playing any of their guitars.

I was right. I bought the '66 Starfire from them. No complaints from that transaction aside from the fact that it was chemically induced.

From their Ebay store:

In our over 30 years of business, Customer Service has always been of the utmost importance to us. Every call, email and inquiry will be answered.

I guess that's if you don't ask the wrong question . . .

No, I'm pretty sure they answered.

The guy cares about the MONEY, not getting little details correct. To be honest, how many sales has he lost by not caring if the TRC is wrong on any guitar ? Probably none. You may as well say, " Those bridge pins are the wrong color " . That being said, to go all expletive on someone who has CLEARLY looked at some of his inventory and has more than a passing interest in them is just moronic.

As my Uncle would have said, maybe the TRC is correct and it's the guitar that's upside down!

My goodness; what a ridiculously offensive response to a benign comment, Rich. Hey, some people have no sense of etiquette or humor for that matter.

I see the ‘77 S-300AD on the front page has the Humbucking pickups! (In the description) How rare is that? Could be a misprint. Maybe he meant Hum****ing.
