Lazy assed Luthiers

And about 4 days after giving it to him

Old truss rod removed, new truss rod MADE, new truss rod installed, he is going to leave it a few days to completely harden, then fret it :-)

I'm confused. This guy screwed up one job, and so you left another guitar with him for three years whilst he did another?

I'm completely baffled to be honest.

They guy in question (assuming it's who I think it is..) is well known for very long "waiting lists" for instruments.

I guess some folks see that as making the instruments (and repairs?!?!) more exclusive, personally I see it as a sign of an ineffectively run business (if someone can't deliver a product in less than a *year* they don't get my money, simples! )

I played one of his basses a while back. Looked nice, but nothing special IMHO.

Glad you're making progress with the new luthier!

My local luthier is excellent. Bigger jobs might take a few days but most stuff is done really quickly and something he even fixes on the spot when I see him so he doesn't have instruments cluttering up his workbench

Well, 3 weeks and 1 Day after giving it to Tom Anfield of Cornwall, I picked it up today!!

[font="Calibri"]Suffice to say, I will never be going back to Chris Eccleshall, which is a shame, great nice guy, but lazy as sin[/font]
