This is great. I mean it sucks, but it gives you a new chance! Try one of the other guitars, either of those will fill your guitar jones. You can have your local guitar center order them for you, if not in stock, try them, and then return them on the spot for a full refund. And you won't have to mess with the shipping! Please try them!

Guitar Center owns Musician't Friend and will usually match any online price. The one here won't take back a guitar bought off Musician's Friend, though. My daughter got one with a problem from MF and had to send it back. They got it fixed, but she paid a bunch for shipping 3 times.

Strange, the one time I sent something back MF paid the shipping. They emailed me a prepaid shipping label.

They said nothing about sending me a shipping label.

Well it was in January of 2003. Guess they've changed their policy.

Last time I returned something to MF they sent me a return label inside the box with the replacement.

Reshipment was also free. This was within the last year.

I have/had my share of doing business with MF. In the past, I normally purchase accessories (e.g. microphone cables, bulk strings) ... basically small items where I don't have to worry about returns and such.

1 1/2 weeks ago, I purchased a LX1E at MF as a present for my sister this Christmas. It arrived at my door step (via UPS) two days ago, and after nearly a day in room temperature, I took it out of the box to try it out. I was surprised at the sweet sound and playability of this little baby, and the set-up was nice and low fresh out of the box. No buzzes and dead notes either. Plugged in, it sounds like a full-size guitar. The only difference that the LX1E has -- compared to my current LXM -- is that is has a solid spruce stop and a Fishman preamp. It also has a much brighter sound. Other than that, the rest of the guitar's anatomy is made of the same composite materials.

Other than a receipt for the sale, there is no return shipping form attached anywhere. That means, if I have bad news with this guitar, I'm basically SOL and have to pay the shipping myself? *knock on wood* I must've gotten lucky so far.

I put the baby back in the shipping box, and just finished wrapping it with a bow as a finishing touch. My sister will be one happy camper in two weeks, when I hit the road to visit my family in Syracuse for the holidays. :)

They sent me out my RMA slip when I called to tell them I wanted to make a return.
