What are the odds of both of these guys being from Indiana ??? What do you want to bet that they know each other ??? And am I being too critical of their spelling ???

No refund until you see the part.

I've had that tried on me, and they say give me my money back it's defective. I told them, send it back to me I'll evaluate it, and if it's not correct, then I'll return the money. I receive lot's of threatening email, but eventually they go away. Oh, and I never get the part. Also, I don't pay for shipping back to me unless in my estimation it's defective.

"No refund until you see the part."

Yup!
Take no action until the part is returned to you.


Also, and vent on me if you think I'm way off, that Bridge shouldn't have gone for over $45 and it is broken when the plastic part is separate.

The Buyer either doesn't know what they bought (too bad, so sad) or they set up to screw you over.

And while I'm on my horse, IF YOU COME FROM INDIANA YOU NEED TO SPEAK AND TYPE ENGLISH!


There now. I feel better.

I'm not familiar with these. What holds them together? Plastic tabs that go through a hole in the metal and then melted flat? If so, how many?

I normally don't like to see this stuff on the OFC, but when I see a language barrier, I send as many emails as it takes to make things crystal clear.

It looks to me like he wants to send it back for a refund. If you don't have a return policy, then it's up to you at that point. I would just have him send it back.

Thanks I am sure It just didnt fit on his 12 string and then he said I will just swap out some screws and stuff and send it back ....I would take it back if I had gotten more for it .go to a vintage guitar show and see what common parts go for there and online it is ridiculous I know but so are 24,000.00 stratocasters ......I was thinking I had to take it apart to undo the screws to get it off...its been so long I have forgot....I have had folks return stuff to me and then its missing things or things have been swapped out....Thats why I stopped doing returns ...and If you do it once ....well I think you guys know ....
