My main issue is with their tech. i had my Gibson SG std refretted with his recommended fret material. He suggested a type 'superior' to the std stuff and since he said he used to work on planes or something I went along. Th repair took fr longer than it was supposed to and my hardshell case was wrecked when I got it back. \r

To be fair I should've bitched about it but I was in shock. Got it home and it sounded like garbage, like another guitar altogether. I guess I could've taken it back to see how much more damage he was capable of but I decided against it.\r

Beware of letting the 'nasa-tech' near your guitar. \r

Another time when I purchased a Boss (I know, not boutique..BOOO!) I asked the guy to pricematch guitarcenter. By his reaction (little short chucky dark blondish haired guy) you'd think I said the N word. Mr. Nice 'N Chunky also flippantly (rudely) told me the coated tips for the george L cables sound terrible so he doesnt carry them...Uh....ok....glad he's not letting inaudible hype influence his business practice and customer service. \r

I'll stick to the internet for highend stuff. \r
