I'll try to keep it short...

The Line 6 Service Department Manager (Mark) called me directly today. Mark explained that the only thing Line 6 would do for me is try to repair the guitar again (for the 5th time). I told him that wasn't an acceptable answer. At this point, I either wanted a new guitar or a total refund of my purchase price. To me, that's a load of crap. I'm sure Line 6 has enough money in the back to issue a refund. The guitar is only 14 months old and it's been in the shop for 10 of those months.

I thanked Mark for his time and called Music123.com, the internet site I purchased the guitar from. The first customer service representative that I spoke with said that Music123 couldn't do anything because the guitar had been purchased 14 months ago. I asked to speak with his supervisor. I again explained my situation and again, they explained that couldn't do anything because the guitar had been purchased 14 months ago. I asked to speak with his supervisor. At this point, I'd reached the top level of customer service. I quickly explained my situation and she asked me if I would return the guitar for a store credit of the full purchase price. I agreed. Music123 has already e-mailed me a UPS return label and she said I'd get full store credit within 4 days. :w00t:

Great, should be the best solution, next to a cash refund, that is?
But I can't help thinking, how many people are not as persistent as you, they make a call and hear it's not possible for a refund. They'll never ask for supervisors.. They would probably keep sending it for repair, until they get sick of it and just keep the thing in a wardrobe somewhere?

It pays off to stand your ground!

I'm thinking about getting a Variax 600 instead. Part of me say that's a terrible idea and the other part of me really liked the way the Variax worked.
