I Am Very Angry Right Now! Options

[Praetorian]

Ok...long rant here. So, about two months ago I sold a car trailer that was sitting around and I didn't need. I went up to Guitar Center with a pocket full of money and had a blast! I bought a set of Texas Special pickups for my strat, a set of EMG 81/85 Kerry King edition pickups for my Ibanez and my Line 6 Spider Jam amp. Everything was ok in my world! I dropped my strat and Ibanez off to the local guitar shop to have the pickups installed. I got the strat back after a couple of days with the new pickups and they were awesome! There was a problem with the tone pot though. It acted like a second volume knob instead of altering the tone. Anyway, he still had the Ibanez. A couple weeks later...he goes OUT OF BUSINESS!!! He still has my Ibanez...and the store is empty! Now...fast forward TWO MONTHS!! I just got my Ibanez back from the guy...and it doesn't work. There isn't even strings on it! He routed a battery box and installed the switch that comes with the Kerry King set of EMG's. I have to admit, he did a great job routing out the box and installing the pickups and switch. No complaints there! But he said he couldn't get any sound out of the pickups and he didn't know what the problem was. He said the wiring was over his head! Now, I had to bring my strat to another guitar tech who did a proper setup and had to re-wire the whole thing to fix this guys screw-up! It cost me $75! Now...I have to bring the Ibanez to another guy to once again...fix his screw-up! I guess it is no surprise that he went out of business!!!

Sorry about venting...but I am NOT pleased!
