Who's painting guitars nowadays?

[ZXIIIT]

About 2 years ago, I had a local guitar shop paint my guitar in a solid color finish for $450, their price is now $600.

Sims is painting an RG7 body, matching headstock with custom logo and filling some cavities for $665.

What's wrong with Sims? I've never used them, but the work that they show on FB looks really good.

Nothing wrong with his work but dealing with him was a pain in the past and it took months to resolve which had to be done with bank disputes and stuff. I see a lot of other stories about him too of others having issues still. The more I think about it I may just build up an rg7620 body I have, save cash and get more gear too! lol. Paint is so expensive, for obvious reasons. That's a lot of work, time, and potential issues, so I get it.

Sims is notorious for not completing projects anywhere near on time, withholding customer gear, refusing refund requests, not responding to messages etc. I wouldn't go anywhere near him.

Still? I read that the issues were resolved lol well, I'll know once the proposed lead time runs out.

Still. Dude has never, and likely will never, change. Hopefully you don't become one of the horror stories.
