charlie brown Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Well, we'll hope that your patience will be rewarded by a wonderful repair job, and an immaculate instrument! But, I know the wait is difficult! I've waited 18 months, to get my Gretsch Country Gent "restored," and just found out yesterday, that the guy that was going to do it, hasn't started it yet, and what's even worse, isn't going to. He's "bailed" out of doing it, entirely. (Lot's of different things (reasons) going on here, beyond his control...so, I can't really get angry about it. Just dissappointed, that I'll have to find another source, and wait even longer!) May send it to Gibson Repair/Restoration? Anyone have any experience, with them?

Well, he's a good guy, and has just had a terrible year, personally... so, I was kind of expecting this. I really wanted him to do it, because of his past work, on my guitars, etc. He felt really bad, but...just doesn't know when, he'd get to it now, with all that's going on, and didn't want me to have to wait any longer. So, I'm looking around again. NO ONE wants to rebind Gretsch's! OR, if they will, they charge the cost of a new "White Falcon" to do so. So...I don't know what to do, really. May just "punt" for awhile. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
