I don't know that that post would stay up in that group.

I say do it. There are far too many shady dudes in this business that get away with shit because all of their blind followers. I've heard plenty about this guy to feel that he deserves to get called out. Only wish some of the other ones would get the same treatment.I’m thinking about posting this in the Modern Guitarist FB group. @ElysianGuitars do you mind if I do? I don’t want to drag you into something you don’t want to, but I’m thinking maybe this will shame him into giving you what you’ve earned.
“Mods, delete if inappropriate, but I figured someone needs to post about Guitarmory. While I don’t personally have anything on order with them, I HAVE been burned a lot by small guitar companies, so I always feel if there’s a business that has entered scammer territory, we need to look out for each other. Guitarmory is ghosting a number of people who have paid for pickups and not received them. And Adam from Elysian is apparently owed thousands for winding for them, and has not been paid. Anyway, buyer beware. And if Michael wants to chime in and clear it up with the individuals, even better.”
I added Patrick's post stating why he left them. It's not right and people should know. Fuck people in this industry scamming people. Needs to be made knownProlly shouldn't have posted it on a Friday evening.The cool kids are already half in the bag.
Really, I hope he can chime in, explain what is going on with the business, and make things right. I've talked with him before, and if he can right the ship I think things should be fine, but if this background chatter gets louder, people are not going to order, and it's going to tank. I hope he comes in and lays it bare, and deals with it head on. I get that running a business is hard, and that shit happens, but in a small community like this, you can't expect to ignore and burn people and continue to thrive.
Saw that, that's cool. Looks like Michael is addressing some of it on there, so hopefully anyone that has an order that he's ghosting, or not getting paid, etc., can chime in and have it addressed. Sounds like he won't address the Adam payment on there, though.I added Patrick's post stating why he left them. It's not right and people should know. Fuck people in this industry scamming people.

just saw that on there! i was like oh snap its holloway!Well, I posted in the Modern Guitarist group on FB, so if any of you are in the bunch that has been scammed/ghosted, please comment so it doesn't look like I'm some conspiracy theorist. @Berzerker7620 @ElysianGuitars @LeviathanKiller
I was part of the GOC Materia run. Checking my Gmail, by Sept-2019 I already had the guitar, and I got the pickups in Jun-2021.They did a “Guitarmory pickup run” for a small-time Chinese headless guitar brand GOC back in like 2019/2020. As far as I’m aware they didn’t deliver any? Maybe some people got theirs? Idk.
I entered my info when I purchased, then the guitar came without their pickups due to manufacturing issues. And after a while I requested a refund/didn’t get it. I chalked it up as a loss and a lesson. I mentioned it in a thread once and someone from there responded that “they were still being worked on”. So I let it be.
But yeah, it was an unfortunate situation in that I think order volume was higher than expected or something (I REALLY don’t care, I only care about my money). But that’s the last time I paid any attention to them.
I hope others got either the pickups or a refund off that “sale”.
Sure, but let's see what the kids in modern guitarist say.Prolly shouldn't have posted it on a Friday evening.The cool kids are already half in the bag.
The 'hotel room ring light sloppy editing' video says it all really. He's never been good at addressing controversy.
This was exactly my reaction when i saw that video. Also that belly cutaway on the 7 looks really uncomfortable.The 'hotel room ring light sloppy editing' video says it all really. He's never been good at addressing controversy.
And
Maybe I've been in 'the game' for too long now, but this is 1/1 an Ormsby body blank with a different stain and a non multiscale neck. What will be the appeal of Cerberus guitars? I just don't see how they will stand apart from any other brand.
Also he shows an incredible amount of deference to Michael. really odd
