I called his local police and they knocked on the shop with no answer. There wasn't a sign on the door and the windows were tinted black.

I came so close to being in on this mess. I'll keep it short. Can't believe bjr jr. did this. I could never believe another word from him ever.
Years ago I had something just like this happen to me on ebay. Though for a lot less cash, it was the principal which I need to explain to nobody here.
1. Property ownership is public record in the USA.
2. If you sent money through the US Postal Service or received or were to receive goods through same, the US Postal has a very good fraud unit. They got my problem guy shut down on ebay saving other at least.
My guy was the same. First the stories and excuses. I did visit his home, nice gated community. I got my money back.

i'm going to try calling my bank again today to try and get my money back... this is just ridiculous hopefully they will do something and we all should file something with the BBB we shouldn't be sitting here wondering what is going on and having third parties giving us updates.
If the guy few back back truely called the police and there is no sign and windows are black that is messed up.

just got off the phone with my bank. They said that since this transaction has been over such a long time frame that I need to write a letter listing all the transactions dates, reference numbers on statement, and detail explination of what happen. I also need to fax all emails that I've tried to contact him, sign the letter and list my number to be contacted. They will contact be back within 48 hours and let me know if I have a case or not. They said it could be 2 weeks before I got my money back but hell beats 2 years on waiting for a guitar.
Just thought I would share the info, I would suggest others contact their banks to see what they can do for you also.

So did JPMike get his guitar? I thought he said it supposedly had been shipped.

I'm-a-gonna' go out on a big fat limb here and say no, JPMike did not receive his guitar. Otherwise we'd have known and he wouldn't be posting in here talking about how he is getting the "email down" message like everybody else.

no i doubt JPMike got his guitar because i'm sure he would have posted pics or linked to NGD thread here.

If you look back, he was just quoting a date that Chris G gave him for when one of his builds would be done.
Him saying that his guitar was supposed to arrive the next day was just a sad acknowledgment that it wouldn't happen.

just called the metal shop that according to google maps is beside bernie and they had no idea who i was talking about lol oh well worth a shot. Also noticed on http://www.la.bbb.org/business-revi...rnie-Rico-Jr-Guitars-in-Hesperia-CA-100120144 that someone has filed a complaint (wasn't me)
This is going to a serious (well, more serious) shit-storm in a hurry. Been a month since I payed, and I have not heard anything back after I payed. I have tried e-mailing too, and like everyone else, I get no response.
I am going to send another e-mail this evening after work, if I hear nothing by Saturday, I am filing a charge-back and seeing what I can do about the $500 deposit, I don't care anymore.

Just another train of thought here fellas. Who can ring the case company (G&C I think) and find out if any orders have been made and when was the actual last time that they sent out cases. May be a way of finding out a date that he fell off the planet. I'd ring but I'm in Australia.
Also, I'm gonna message Jed Simon on facebook (now I couldn't give a rats who he is or what he does), but he obviously has some form of contact with Bernie, and stuck his neck out with a post on facebook, telling everyone to stay cool, when things a red hot now, so I think you blokes have a right to message him as well. He'll either reply with some bad news (then at least there will be some sought of conformation), or just refuse to answer anything to do with the subject (aka Bernie like).
I'm willing to bet my left nut that Bernie and ex-employees read this thread from time to time, and Bernie plans his next move with what has been written. It's about time this bloke is taken down, and the mood here I think is starting to suggest this. A few are starting the ball rolling, while a few on the other hand still hold a belief. It's gonna be one way or the other, and some are gonna be butt hurt, but at the end of the day, I would rather see 90% of you with your cash back than see a couple with a guitar or two.

I wonder if some one tried to get a quote for a new guitar, would bernie get back to him?
Just a suggestion fellas.

So collectively, from this forum alone...how much money has he taken from everyone roughly? How many orders?
