Help: Before the Lynching

[NickZ]

There are 2 inherent problems with this type of post:

1) You are always best served dealing with a company directly and not coming to a message board for customer service. From what I can see EB has tried (according to your own words) to provide you with follow up service and take care of your problem. It should stay in this channel and not here.

2) You are coming to a place where these folks on the board take pride in their association with the company and are clearly very loyal - so you are not going to garner any real support (even though some have tried to offer helpful advice). The minute you start sounding frustrated and sour towards things - they will turn on you and it is to be somewhat expected.

To be perfectly honest - I don't understand the problem you are experiencing - in one post you talk about the guitar resonating in a odd manner acoustically and in another post talking about how the lights and outlets affected things - so I cant make heads or tails of whether you are experiencing a structural problem or an electrical one.

Sometimes it is best to cut loose from something - maybe that would be something to consider? Even at a small loss? Some things aren't worth the aggravation and you have to ask yourself if it is worth the aggravation and if this is the hill you want to die on. I don't think you would have any trouble unloading a JP model - they seem to be in high demand.
FWIW - I have a couple of chambered guitars and one in particular resonates like crazy in the neck and body - even the fixed bridge and tuning machines - but I happen to like it a good deal - to each his own.

Hope this helps in some way,

First of all, Thanks for all the ideas, and help- like I said before I'm totally impressed with the amount of customer service from everyone, and again I'm sorry for the rant...

I told AJ that I was giving up, and that I was even quitting guitar, but having played for the last 28 years ( O.K., so not so much these last few months ) I'm not going down without a fight- I really do believe that this is the end all be all of guitars- It has to be. I'm headed to a guitar store and buying every set of strings I can find, and try every set up, with every trick mentioned here. I've moved the amp, plugged directly into the damn thing, I've got a hair band ready, the piece of foam is in place, and the fluorescent lights, and fan will stay off-

Stay tuned....
