  1. Do Epiphone management have a presence on this board? One way they could deal with this problem would be to enable people to order the free stuff online after registering a new purchase. Obviously that wouldn't solve the problem of people not receiving gig bags or cases at the time of purchase...
  2. I wouldn't feel too bad. As you've already read the stuff that comes with the Epiphones is not terribly useful. GC had to order my Dot so I got to unpack it right there in the store. It had all the paperwork but no cord. The only thing I considered useful was the box itself since I didn't have a case for it yet. I know how you feel about having to take a guitar out the door with no protection though. The shops really should have some kind of cheap wrap to throw on them if nothing else.
  3. Wow, rough ride. Seems that not receiving a cable was the least of the problems. Your story is an example of why I had my new guitar shipped to the store instead of my home - I checked it over and played it and made sure it was perfect before I took it away.
  4. I picked up my new Epi at Guitar Center a couple of days ago. It was also in an unopened box and had all the materials except the cord, so it seems the cord is no longer bundled.
  5. I have to disagree. I recently bought a different brand guitar that didn't come with any documentation. I learned months afterward that in order for the warranty to be valid it was supposed to be registered within the first month by sending in the card that was supposed to be included. I only found out by accident because the guitar had an electrical problem and did need warranty service. Fortunately the warranty was honored, but I was not happy about the missing materials. It is not typical for warranty and other documentation to be thrown away for other types of products and I don't understand why it should be the case with guitars, or why it is tolerated by the company and the customers. And by the way, in addition to the truss rod key I feel the guitar cable is of significant value. I have a new Epi on the way and I'm going to ask about these things if they're not included.
