I had a nice telecaster neck purchased off me by a young guy and his dad, i asked is there anything they want me to do, install the tuners, the nut, fret level? but they said the boy knew what he was doing.
Last week the neck was returned for repair, he had drilled the tuner anchor hole all the way through, then proceeded to try cover it up with bog and the stain from hell, it didnt work, he filled every tuner hole with timbermate filler, and didnt get the hole to covered up.
I have spent over 4 hours on the neck, i asked his dad did he want me to keep going, its going to cost more than a replacement, he just came around and got a new neck, tuners installed, i gave it to him at cost.
I now have a tele neck i am going to have to finish fixing up, i have reamed out all the tuner holes and cleaned out the truss rod slot, that was bogged as well, and i will put it on one of my new project teles i am doing here.
This wreck was caused by the boy not having patience and then losing his cool.
If you stuff something up, put it aside, think about it, find a work around, then when your nice and calm go again, i could have done something about the drill through for a few $$ but not after hes been to town on it.
Anyway gives me something to do, my other 20 projects can wait :rolleyes:
