Guest HRB853370 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 What I thought were 4 small scratches on the backside of my 137 after getting it back from the guitar repair shop are actually burn marks! Either from the soldering iron or from molten solder. You can tell because the finish looks kind of melted on those spots. If this doesn't prove they did it I don't know what does!
hotfordcoupe Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I'd go back and do what your name suggests to the guy who did it.

GuitArtMan Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Just another reason to learn to do your own work. I do just about everything on my guitars these except frets. Sorry to hear about your problems.

DetroitBlues Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Wow, that isn't right! Thank goodness you're moving to someplace far from there. So guess these 137 has lost a lot of value now it's shop worn. Maybe you should sell it to me for $250 and cut your losses...

Blunote Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Slammer, your not nearly as incompetent as you think you are. Buck up man!

barrymclark Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Quote Wow! I\'ve heard decent to good things about them' date=' but have never been. Good to know![/quote'] My buddy worked for them. He is a PHENOMENAL tech. He did up the Gretsch and, well, damn near every guitar I\'ve owned for the past 15 years. He left quite some time ago. Used to be Southeastern Guitar Repair.

Is your buddy's name Slaus? If so, yes he was great. He left to go to NYC.
DetroitBlues Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Done and over with Will. Time to embrace the extra character in that 137 and enjoy the life by the sea...

Still on that side of town.

Never heard of that guy Barry, Slaus was a good guy, he started with them and was there a long time. I know of a few professional guitarists in Atlanta that would ONLY go to him. I am going to take my stuff to Yoslate's shop from now on.

My apprenticeship continues, and, without exaggeration, I do learn something every day. There's no end to the dilemmas and challenges. Just finished my first bad broken headstock (second break; first repair poorly done). Hours "dry jigging" it trying to figure out how to balance the opposing forces required to set it correctly, once glued. Patience really is a virtue...especially when the jig lets go!
