I brought my solid body, left handed electric guitar to Parsons on a Saturday afternoon for an overall fix up. My guitar needed a professional setup and also some fixes to the frets in order to alleviate some pronounced fret buzzing. Upon arrival to the shop I was told over and over by the shop employees that my guitar only needed a basic setup. That seemed fine to me but I stressed to them I wanted the fret buzzing fixed along with the basic setup. Money was not a factor in determining what I wanted fixed on my guitar as I was willing to pay way more then the 60$ they were going to charge me for the basic setup. I was told my guitar would be ready the following Thursday.
When I arrived at the shop at 1pm on Thursday to pick up my guitar it had not even been touched in the 4+ days since it had been left there. I was asked if I could wait 30 minutes so the work could be done. I agreed to wait for my guitar. During the 30 minutes I couldn?t stop thinking??Is there really any way they can fix my fret buzzing in 30 minutes?? After waiting my guitar was ?done? and I was on my way. I will just say that the fret buzzing on my guitar is actually worse now then it was before I brought it to Parson?s shop. It is obvious very little work or care went into my guitar and I was simply just another 60$ in their pocket.
I take some of the blame with my bad experience at Parson shop because I did not test my guitar before I left?but it is obvious they didn?t either.
