Dan called me at 8:30 this morning saying MY GUITAR IS READY TO COME HOME!

Oh man, I cannot wait! Gave him my credit card number and will be here tomorrow! The cost was under $300, which is cheaper than what I anticipated.

For the record, I had my Ernie Ball Music Man EVH model sent in for re-fret and dressing, nut replacement, PU switch replacement, volume pot replacement, neck sanded (cleaned) and tremolo blocks replaced.

He said I wont even recognize it, it's in so much better condition, now. I'll believe it. It was in bad, dirty shape when I sent her in.

Again, thanks Dan, and EB for the great service. I'll report back here tomorrow when I get my hands on her!

Ha-ha! It was a welcomed gouged!

That reminds me, I gotta pay the jerks who are really gouging me. Digitron Electronics for my Roland 3000 Delay. The 'Mothers' can't/wont fix it for me without charging me outrageous prices.

Now they want $87 for four transistors and a integrated circuit. I paid $300 for the unit on eBay, and spent the same amount to these idiots.

But, it wont take away my fun tomorrow!

Thanks BP!

On a few occasions I've scrached my head and said "that's all? I can't believe they did it for that price!". Waaay less expensive than any of the bench time at my local shops, and about a zillion times better workmanship.

I had EBMM do a re-fret on my EVH last year & when I got it back it felt brand new. They did a tremendous job. You are going to love the results.

It was funny too, I didn't think my neck was all that dirty, but when I got it back I was blown away by how much nicer the neck looked after they cleaned it up.

Expect only the best when you send it back to SLO. When I had my AL, (it now belongs to Beej) I sent it back for a refret and was completely blown away by the price and workmanship. Nothing in my area could touch it for that price. You'd be crazy to have it done somewhere else.

I just got my guitar back today!

Absolutely amazing difference! I have other new guitars so I know what a new set of frets feel like, but none of them feel like this guitar. I guess that's why this one's my BABY!

Without a doubt, this guitar has NEVER felt this good to play. I'm really beyond words. I cannot describe how good I feel. I played for one hour, neglecting my boys, so I guess that best describes how I feel.

Thanks so much Dan, and Ernie Ball crew! I'm never going to let another soul touch this guitar, except you guys. This is... beyond my expectations.

THANKS SO MUCH! I love you guys! You're the best!

Oh, thanks for the Ernie Ball stickers. My boys got one each. Perfect.
