Location: Brisbane Australia | In my experience the first port of call should be the selling dealer!!
It is the dealer's responsibility to look after his customers and keep them happy.
He should be the one directing the traffic!!

It only works with dealers who still give a rip once they've got your money. |

And I still think bearclaw looks like stretch marks.... That was one of my first thoughts when I got my 07C.
And like was said... That 1578 may be a Really Purdy Import, but it is still an import.
Here is an interesting dilemma...
I have my T-12, 2058T... I bought it new, I am the original owner.
They don't make these any longer, what happens if it suddenly self-destruckts! :mad: :eek: :confused: |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Tough situation here. Not sure there can be a win-win outcome, but it has to start with the dealer who made the original sale, likely a full refund or at least a credit towards another purchase. Its then up to the dealer to make peace with the factory. I don't know how this works, but Brother Bobby seems to represent himself as being a heavy hitter with Ovation and ought to have some influence in representing the interests of his customer. I can't believe any successful business can remain afloat very long if they blow off customers.
On the other hand, if it was me, and I just had to have this guitar, I would ask Brother Bobby to negotiate a repair with the factory (we know the factory can pretty much rebuild just about anything), then I would negotiate with the good Brother as to whose responsibility it is to pay the cost of the repair, which ultimately might have to be split three ways. Again, tough situation. |

No, thank you!
I wouldn't do business with that guy if he offered something to me for FREE.

Choose your dealer accordingly. |
