The 357 Customs / Zakk Wylde Guitar Offer!

I think they're hideous, personally, I think they should make nickel-covered ones like people have been asking for from the beginning instead of those hideous crap-jobs.

 

[malufet]

this promo still open? Did you get your LP?

Personally, I like the look... and if you're going to choose a nickel cover over the style EMG uses, suit yourself. Just know the effects of using nickel covers, such as excess ringing, acting as an echo chamber, and completely changing the sound on high distortion.

I think they're quite humorous (and cool), in synchronocity to the release of the camo Zakk Wylde LP! Oh and lets not forget to mention the camo Gator bags and cases that just recently made their way into the market!

Well i got a email today from 357 here it is



Hello everyone. Thanks for being so patient on the delivery of the Epiphone guitars. Here's the deal.

We are waiting on delivery of the Epiphone guitars for you guys FROM Epiphone because the guitars that Epiphone has in stock do NOT have working pickups!

That's correct...for whatever reason (and people....please don't send me 100 emails and posts here asking why the pickups don't work...I'm not working for Epiphone) the pickups don't work. So rather than send you guys a guitar that doesn't make SOUND through an amp, we want to have Epiphone remedy this situation and send you WORKING guitars.

That's the reason for the wait. I didn't want to say anything until I had permission because NOBODY want's to make Epiphone or EMG angry.

THANK YOU.

-Chad

Also so what if the pups don't work? isn't everyone ripping them out and dropping real emg's?? lol

 

[darren]

I find it hard to believe that a) Epiphone would have a whole batch of guitars that somehow got through quality control with non-functional electronics; and b) that they would tell 357 Choppers' webmaster.

It sounds like a bullshit excuse for, "We don't have the cash to actually pay for the guitars we promised to ship out."

 

[nyck]

How can a pickup not work?

Let alone, that many pickups...

 

[Allen Garrow]

LOL,,, what the hell. I'm not sure what to make of that,, we literally get 100's of epi's and we don't have many issues with pickups not working, and when we do it's typically on LP Jrs.

Mr. Wylde spent all your guy's money on beer.
I'd be one for going over your original sales receipts to make sure you didn't sign something stating that you can't sue the crap out of them when they don't send you the guitar.

 

[darren]

Maybe they're trying to find the right way to say, "Congratulations! You just spent $132.05 on a toy motorcycle!"

 

[Kagami]

well it was still a $100 gift certificate with the bike, I think most people forgot that part or want to leave it out to say they got ripped off.

The thing is, you didn't actually BUY the guitar, it was a bonus.

 

[Jason]

haha lame

"Just to let you all know, all guitars will be to your doors in the next 3 weeks.

EVERYONE BE PATIENT!

If everyone can just chill out and be patient, it will help us ALOT more. We're spending SO much time answering everyone asking 'WHERE IS MY GUITAR?' that we're taking time AWAY from shipping things out!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!

Chad sure isn't the master of public relations.

1) Cut and paste. How much time can it take to answer the same question over and over?
2) Set up an auto-responder with answers to the most common questions, like "WHERE'S MY FUCKING GUITAR?"
3) Quit making excuses. Blaming Epiphone for an entire shipment of guitars with non-functional electronics, and then blaming the customers for taking time away from them shipping the guitars just makes the whole operation look mickey-mouse and not worthy of further business. Be honest with people, tell them what's REALLY going on, and don't let your webmaster be your PR spokesperson.

 

[Scott]

I got that email aswell. No clue why, seeing how I didn't buy a guitar.

Be patient? He's late as hell delivering a product that he spammed all over hell, enticing people to buy shit they don't want from his shop, and he has the audacity to post something like this?

 

[darren]

It looks like this promotion is blowing up in 357 Choppers' face.

 

[Steve]

Chad seem more and more like little brother Mikey, on "American Choppers", with every message..

That's enough out of you, Mr. Negative Pants.
