Guitar Fetish/GFS = Buyer Beware

Shipping & Handling

Guitar Fetish, Most eBay vendors and other assorted Online Vendors.

No!
I personally will not pay the same price for the Item and the same price for S&H.
And I "Most Definitely Will Not" pay MORE for S&H that the Item costs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gezz, Get A Grip on Reality!
Yea I know there is a "Sucker Born Every Minute"

Guitar Fetish, GFS, Buyer Beware

Guitar Fetish, GFS, Buyer Beware

Guitar Fetish = Buyer Beware

A Personal Experience: Guitar Fetish/GFS

First let me state that this is not about their "Product"
Although that is what got this all started in this in the first place.

I purchased a "Crunchy Rails" pickup from Guitar Fetish.

When it arrive, I use one of my meters to ohm it out.
My meter reading was telling me that this pickup was 15.02K

Guitar Fetish "Advertises" this pickup at, and I Quote:
"A Scorching 16.2K"
But when I emailed them about this, I get the following:
 "Song and Dance"
Well, we cannot guarantee that all of our pickups will measure out exactly and that there will be some variance in coil winding

Ok !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then "Do Not Claim" that this pickup measures in at 16.2K.
And Then Tell Me to "F'off"

And this is where I want to state:
That "Oops"
You actually have to have something called "Customer Service" before it can be called:
Abysmal, Abhor-able, Crappy, Non-Existent

---
I am not going to tell you not to buy from Guitar Fetish.
This is just a warning, that if "Shit Goes South"
GFS will "Dump You", or is that "Dump On You"

In short: Guitar Fetish = Buyer Beware

---

Both Di'Marzio and Seymour Duncan!
Do guarantee that the pickups are wound to a specific specification.
And will actually apologize for any problems you have with their product.

Now to the part that has made me "Never Want To Buy From Guitar Fetish, Ever Again".
Or in other words, it is "Worth It" to buy Name Brand Pickups from a reliable Manufacturer.
Thanks to Guitar Fetish I have gone back to buying Di'Marzio pickups.
The cost difference is not more that $20.00.
$50 to $60 for the GFS pickup
$70 to $80 for the Di'Marzio's
$80 to $100 for the Seymour Duncan's

---

And while I have several guitars that have GFS pickups in them.
I am not going to go and "Rip Them All Out"
They will all be replaced eventually.
I want to state that when they are replaced I am going to trash them.
I will not resell them, yea I know it is still money in GFS's bank account.
But the way they treated me, One less GFS pickup on the market the better.


---

This experience has lead me to believe that Guitar Fetish/GFS is nothing more that some dude or dudes.
Selling Shit from their spare bedroom., Who's only motto is:
Make A Buck, Make A Buck, Make A Buck !!!!!
And If You Are Not Happy With Us, Who Cares?
We Don't Give A Shit!

Seems that if they wanted to keep me as a "Customer"
Happy or other wise.
They could of done something other that tell me to "Foff"
