As I expected - complete denial and unwillingness to admit what happened. C'est la vie. I'm done posting on this as well. Buyer beware. It's time for me to shut up and play my guitar

I think I would stump up the airfare, fly over and smash that firewood into his face until he paid up in full!! That should have been scrapped before it was even finished let alone actually reaching the customer.
I know comments like this don't really help but FFS look at the damn thing, Alaxender you most certainly and not a Class act!

Do you really expect people to believe that you were unaware of those issues ? Butchered fret tangs, crooked inserts and unfilled wood pores under the finish don't just appear like that during the shipping (and nuts don't disappear either)...you let the guitar leave the shop with those issues. If the guitar had only arrived with issues that are likely to happen during shipping (like breaks in the wood) I wouldn't blame you but come on, most of those issues just scream "this wasn't quality-checked"
thank you for this, i was thinking of eventually paying the money for one of these, now i'm incredibly hesitant and won't i bet

I see what you mean about customer expectations. I didn't rage or insult him in my post. Just to clarify. I wasn't being nice but I was trying to be as respectful as can be with someone who, I think, just scammed a customer.
Typically what I'll think is, for 2500 bucks I can get a flawless high-end production model. The builder *should* (in my opinion, of course) build his guitars with the quality at least on par with production models in the same price range (or would you spend 4k on a custom that plays like a cheap asian import ?)
One thing I've learnt from being on SSO over the last years is this : NEVER. EVER. pay 100% of the price up front. it's an invitation to this kind of situation. I've said this before and I'll say it again in such threads because it's something more people need to be aware of.

Legit problems or not, this is completely unhelpful![]()
As such, that's one less customer for Claas and one more reminder why taking care of your customers (in business transactions) is important to maintaining business.
Anything I can say about the guitar itself or the way the situation was handled has already been said... So I'll just leave this here... It's what your comment reminded me of...This forum is loaded with guys who jump straight to murder fantasies over bad business transactions.
