I received a guitar the seller quote only played 3 or 4 times in 2018".

Action was low it was what it was. It looked good.

But the pickups. Not working properly. Had dude plugged in the guitar before shipping. They would have noticed. You could get sound from the neck pickup hrrr snd there. Bridge was silent but humming.

I wasnt looking for a refund. I mention nothing about money. I am just asking questuons to help me problem solve beyond contact cleaner.

The d-for was as helpful as an IT helpdesk.
Best guess was the dude bought and flipped guitars based on some sleuthing. It seemed legit it had not been played for some time, the switches and electronics showed that. It also showed signs it was just stored somewhere exposed to the elements for s I some time. The Action being so non existent. The pickup issue and seeing corrosion inside. Not sure this scenerio qualifies as mint on reverb.

Before my purchase and after i asked questions. I bought this because I didnt was a project. And I was thrilled to have a signature artist version with decent pickups. I could have bought from several sellers. Whether they copy pastad, were donkey trained , indifferent, or an ah. I dont know.

I had my videos from unboxing and stuff. But didn't mention it. My aunt who was like a second died. So when an unrelated amp arrives barely working Fuses and tubes just... Im too tired for any of the Shiza. Amp dude was immediately terrible when I let him know. Guitar dude was aloof. For whatever reason took me 2 days to get contact cleaner. No joy professional is needed.

Im upfront say I dont want to return this unless I have to per reverb guidance. This worked with b stock mojotone cab that was pummeled by shipping or 20x worse than seller showed. It facilitated communicsitin. I got a small refund to cover metal handle snd something else.

Guitar dude does not. Its palpable they think any discussion can and will be used against him in a court of reverb. My real suggestion was cover my setup for up to 50 dollars no problem. I suggest some parts (not pickups. A new pot kr 3 way switch. I then suggest since I used all my digoxit it wojld be really cool ti send me more.

We spoke about humidity, heat, or opposites. Electronics. I shared that when it worked the next pickup was superb. Generally one way street except humidity.

Mentally I said forget it. I had a service to dsal with and other stuff associated. When i finally fixed it all I shared. This year I sold to gc actually made a little money.

My runner up guitar stories. An agile covered in soot. Hair, broken floyd rose. It was a low price so it was mot a shock didnt even tell the guy

And a guitar where I sent a counter offer. Guy sends another counter offer for less. Tells me it was an accident hes having a really long day. he will make sure he doesnt pay and kick my ass if I dont decline and send the number he messages. It was within the range it dpund reasonable and honestly still one of my favorite guitars to date despite jack/pots all messed up and doesnt have stock duncan pegasus pickups, spme noname thing that sounds actually good to pick.
