Bullet dodged! Feel bad for those who lost their guitars. There has to be legal ramificationsThere is another thread in the Backstage somewhere.
TLDR; He "closed" his business while still having a lot of customer's guitars with the work not completed. He then disappeared. He never sent back any of the guitars, except I think he sent one back because the forum hunted him down on Facebook. But after this I stopped following the developments.
I considered him as well until I found that thread...
I hope you filed a police report and maintained a paper trail.I have officially given up (actually a while ago) on the hope of getting my R6 back. This thief took my $3000 guitar and $500 deposit, closed his shop and all his contact avenues (phone, email, website, etc) and has seemingly disappeared. It’s been a year and a half now so...
Bud youre FAR better than me. I would have gave him 2 times to not respond then took two days vacaction to go sort him out. I dont think that option should be off the table. From what I read someone knows where he works. Id organize a group field trip with the other jilted buyers.I have officially given up (actually a while ago) on the hope of getting my R6 back.

Who's WB?Funny WB is the first name brought up in that thread because thats EXACTLY who I thought of when I read this. That move will forever be know as WBing your customers
He was a very popular pickup winder. Was... Loaded up on orders and even jacked at least one forum members guitar and vanished. It was so heinous every forum essentially Voldemorted him. They wont even say his name. At one pointI think even bringing him up was punishably forbidden.King of the Damned .Who's WB?

Yup. Like thinking about this dude, especially while all the legal proceedings were happening could get you a ban threat. Over the years weve had more than one wtf moment with well known members. Ahhhh good times.
Yep. You couldn't even type his initials.
