First time and last time to buy a guitar body from GF. I think a second grader could have done a better job cutting and drilling holes in this thing.

Like many folks my age we don't trust the interweb a whole lot and for good reason. People tend to use misleading bait and switch wording to get you to buy their products. I purchased one of the factory 2nd $100 off guitars from them. Its very pretty I'll say that. The ad says they use kwikplug pickups in these so I bought a different kwikplug pickup from them to experiment with. Turns out you have to convert the guitar to the kwikplug set up yourself so that was a bait and switch another thing that is a bit tricky is the presidents day sale they have going on 13.5% and 35% on various items. One if you use just the 13.5% on an item you get 13.5% off... perfect! If you use the 35% on an item you get 21% off that item... lie.. you're supposed to be able to stack them. When you stack them you get 35% off. 35+13.5 = 48.5. I spent 6 years in high-school im no dummy. Do your research, ask them as many questions as you can before you buy.

The rest of the free world is figured out how to ship more than one guitar in one box at a time Guitar fetish can’t seem to figure that simple thing out. If you order two guitars from they gonna put them each in a separate box and charge you double the shipping Buyer beware don’t order anything from these morons. Most of the stuff that they sell is garbage anyway.

Washers and nuts that were included with the pots weren't the right size. The switch said it included a wiring diagram and didn't. Ordered on a Wednesday, didn't ship until the following Monday. I usually like to support smaller companies, but in this case, just order from Amazon...

Do not buy anything from Guitar Fetish. Their products are subpar at best, and they will not stand behind their own mistakes. I purchased a tailpiece and a bridge with matching studs and mount inserts to "upgrade" my son's Epiphone Flying V. The inserts for the bridge were correct, however the inserts and screws for the tailpiece were not the same as the bridge. They were too large for the holes on the guitar. The black screws were the same thread pattern as the chrome ones I took off, but were much much shorter. I attempted to use the black screws in the existing mounts but they were too short to grab enough threads. The black plating also scratched off with very little pressure on the screwdriver. When I emailed them to get replacement studs and screws, I included pictures of the difference in the stud mounts and showed them the screw. They replied with a 2 paragraph email telling me how to properly select and use a screwdriver, and since I scratched the screws, they couldn't replace anything. Instead, I was given a link to purchase the correct stud mounts and screws....even though the description for the item clearly says "from inexpensive imports to pricey USA guitars". BUYER BEWARE

They send you a body that looks nothing like the photograph and then you have to pay to send it back and you paid shipping to get the piece of crap! The worst do not buy from them . $50 in and I have nothing! Never again !!!

I ordered 8 guitar pickups from Guitar Fetish to install into guitars, each costing around $30, and then I had to pay for shipping on top of it, making the order $271.60 total. Installing these pickups took a lot of time, as I've never done it before, and was part of ongoing projects. One of these guitars I had bought for this project didn't work so I had to return it (to a different seller), and no longer needed the pickups. I submitted a return request for them to Guitar Fetish. I was told that the return period was only 7 days (which was nowhere even near long enough for this kind of thing, as even if I had taken it in to my local guitar repair shop they would have taken 7 days to do the repair on just one guitar, so even then it would not be long enough of a return window...and who knows if they'd need more time to do this many pickups, I sure did). This was news to me as I hadn't seen this return policy anywhere on his site, but I didn't want to argue with him about it as he offered me store credit and I figured I might need more pickups for my ongoing guitar projects, so I took that offer. I then had to pay $13 to ship these two pickups back, so I ate that cost.... Then when installing other pickups I found that one didn't even work. I confirmed that it didn't work and wasn't just be installing it improperly as I took it in to my local guitar repair shop and they tested it and found that it was defective, which they wrote on a receipt for me. I then submitted a return request for this, and at first he wasn't going to accept the returrn unless I could prove to him that it was defective, and he said the receipt from the repair man wasn't enough. Then he said that he would let me return it at my own shipping expense, and would offer me store credit again, and if he tested it and found it defective then he would reimburse me for the shipping. At this point I've installed the rest of the other pickups and found that they do not even sound better, but are actually worse than the budget pickups that came on these super cheap guitars (that cost between $95 and $160). Two of these pickups have an annoying hum, so while they work and aren't defective enough for me to uninstall and try to send back, it's annoying that I've paid for a product that doesn't sound good (in addition to so many other products). Also, I'm already out over $100 due to this bad business man, and now he wants me to return this product at my own expense so that he can test it, and I'm not sure if he will actually make good on reimbursing me for shipping or not, and regardless, I've lost too much money and at this point am worried about over-drafting my account so I can't afford to spend more to send this back. I also take issue with this "return policy" of his, which seems predatory because not only is it not enough time for even a professional to do the work, but he claims it is listed at the bottom of each sales page I bought from, and I returned to them to find that he had lied, and I took screen shots to prove it. I tried filing a charge-back dispute with paypal, and he lied to them about his return policy being posted at the bottom of every page on his site, and then paypal denied it because their new policy states they only deal with charge-backs the same month the purchase was made, which again, is not enough time for a big project like this, sometimes it takes time to learn that you've been sold a defective product. Anyways, I cannot afford to lose this $100 but I have to cut my losses at this point instead of spending more to try to return this just for store credit to get more bad products that will cost me more time and energy (as well as money for the guitar repairman), and then potentially more money to ship them back. I'm a disabled person and have to live off of $1,000 a month, so I had to save up all year for this project, only to be ripped off! And I've also read reviews that say that their pots, and any wooden guitar parts are even worse. So obviously I recommend avoiding them and not buying anything from them. They definitely are selling cheap crap parts, cheaper and crappier than the ones that come with the cheapest guitars possible (like Glarry), at a high markup and they charge too much for shipping and don't pay you for return shipping and have a predatory return policy. Don't subject yourself to being ripped off like I was.

Parts not correct, when contaced them they basically say this is how it is supposed to be, if I want can return it (at my expense) and they wil deduct their shipping charges they paid and refund the rest. A case for my Credit Card company dispute!
