Guitar Center is the last place I would go for a pickup install. A real guitar tech would be in business themselves, not working for an hourly wage at Guitar Center.
BBB complaint will do nothing. Talk to the store manager and then reach out to head office maybe via Twitter.
Nice. Now unfortunately you have to find a good guitar tech to fix your guitar still. LOL.
EDIT: After further troubleshooting the issue I had written here turned out to be a faulty patch cable. It's always a damn faulty patch cable lol. Time to solder!
Hadn't used my amp in a while, went to do some recording and suddenly had a severe loss of volume! Isolated it to the effects loop and tried a bunch of cable combos but did not think to plug a spare into both send/return until after I took the amp apart 😂 always troubleshoot starting with the cheapest potential issue y'all.

I'm going to look at a very specific guitar. A guitar that's very hard to get in this configuration, and very very expensive. The used market for this particular model is sparse and asking prices are often extremely high. This is my chance to buy a new one.I usually never buy a guitar unless it absolutely speaks to me. Have two that I got over a decade ago for cheap around $200 each at a local music shop and they've served me well gigging around the region. Need one for drop C.... and maybe one for open tunings.... oh lord I don't have money for this hahaha
Maybe you'll find something!
Is there some sort of controversy with those guitars or something...?Impulse bought an epiphone Les Paul custom pro silverburst, did I make a mistake? Lol I can still cancel my store pickup
No just wondering if there are any issues with them. I don't get off work till around 7 so I've been researching it all morning before u pick it upIs there some sort of controversy with those guitars or something...?

Wow, what a beautiful collection! I'd kill for any one of those guitars.My newborn and my two year old went for a quick nap, so I busted out my guitars for a quick picture. Forgive the mess and poor picture quality. Time was a factor.
Just the customs.
Still feel like I'm missing a goldtop with p90s. Despite making "no new guitars for 10 years" promise to my wife, I might try my luck after I pay her back what I owe her for my new acquisition.
Not that I'm aware of. But make sure to play and carefully inspect the one they give you before you pay for it. There might be no issues with the model line by itself, but that particular guitar could be a good or bad one. You won't know until you see and play it yourself.

I figured I'll let you know this though, the action on the guitar is awful out the box and you'll prolly have to replace the nut it comes with, but yeah everything else is great
Friends, I've been itching to get back into guitar after about a decade and will probably start with a relatively cheap acoustic to get back up to speed on and see if it sticks before getting something a bit more expensive.
any word on the Rogue RA-090 Dreadnought Acoustic? It's on sale for like 60 bucks but I don't want something that's so janky it will put me off wanting to play.
if that's not great, then any suggestions on what I should look at? Thanks!
Would you advise going electric instead of acoustic to start?The advice I've heard from many people is to do whatever gets you playing. So if $60 seems like a low-risk entry back into guitar and will get you playing - go for it.
If you can't spend more than 60 I would recommend electric. I'm sure there are exceptions everywhere but the cheapest acoustic I've used that I'd recommend is a Yamaha in the $200 range. You can probably find a used electric in the 60-100 range that will at least be playable.
I can spend more than $60, I'm just looking for something on the cheaper end until I'm sure I'm interested in sticking with it, then I'll drop some cash on better equipment.If you can't spend more than 60 I would recommend electric.
