There is good point of a personal store.

I had the acoustic guitar bridge cut. It was 2000 yen for the next day delivery. I was asked to confirm the neck, but it was a service because there was no adjustment. The guitar became easier to play, and I was taught various things through chats. However, I felt like I shouldn't stay long because I seem to be busy.

It was delicate from the response of the phone, and when I visited, the store was narrow and my customers were always there and I was constantly listening and I was delicate. I asked you to adjust the neck. I was told that the parts are going to be broken "Is it possible to exchange? " I don't know. The answer seemed very subtle. By the way, about two weeks later, the sound started to chatter again. I wonder if they adjusted properly. There was a cheaper and nicer workshop in the neighborhood.

I asked for a bass (Fender USA's Jazz Bass) that had been left unattended for many years, and it came back incredibly easy to play. It's a level where you really think "I was so good", so if you want to have a happy illusion, you should consult with us. A few years ago, when I consulted with a chain musical instrument store because the neck was so warped, I was told that "I can't fix it anymore. It will be a large-scale maintenance", but that was completely resolved within the scope of comprehensive adjustment. He did (half of the original budget). If it's an important instrument, I think it's best to have a proper technician look at it before making a big move. It seems that the shop owner manages the work by himself, so it is natural that the customer needs to consider the timing of consultation and delivery.

I asked Dimarzio to replace the rear pickup (ham, direct mount) of the guitar with Duncan. This is because the shape of the pickup was different and the pickup cavity and / or the pickup had to be processed. A few days after the request, I was notified that the work was completed, and when I went to pick up the guitar, he said, "I didn't need to process the pickup cavity. Well, I can't adjust the height of the pickup." Looking at the guitar, the rear pickup that pops out strangely compared to the front. "It's okay because it doesn't hit the strings." When I played it lightly on the spot, it certainly didn't seem to hit the strings. However, when I went home and listened to the sound again with the amp simulator and headphones, I heard a sound from the bass strings that I hadn't heard before replacing the pickup. When I measured the distance between the string and the pickup when I pressed the last fret, it was a little less than 1mm. Didn't Maekawa know that there is a proper distance between the pickup and the strings (it doesn't mean the only correct answer, because there are some settings you like). Or was it troublesome to process the pickup cavity because he said he was busy with the work? I have to say that the former has a problem with the ability as a craftsman, and the latter has a problem with the way of being as a person. Also, less than half a year after I bought it, the back of the body, which had no noticeable scratches, was scratched in the area of ​​the tip of the first joint of the thumb of the hand. It was like putting the removed wood screw on the work table, putting the guitar on it, and sliding the guitar around (I don't know how it was actually scratched). In a chat on the day I brought my guitar in for a request, "How do you cheat if you accidentally make a mistake while working and the paint is peeled off, the wood is peeled off, or the customer's guitar is damaged? It's important, "he said, so he didn't apologize for scratching the customer's guitar, didn't mention it, didn't repair it, didn't compensate, and still received the full wages for the work. , "I see, this is what it is." It was a case that I learned that the slight discomfort with the other person that I felt in the chat should be more important. In exchange for the crappy treatment of expensive guitars. 【postscript】 After posting the comment, I received an email from Mr. Maekawa. The content was the same as the line that people who hit and run liked to say, "This time, I ended up hit and run, but I didn't notice it, so I'm sorry if I died." .. After all, the email was just an excuse, so when I asked if I was willing to start over, or if I was going to erase or compensate for the scratches I had made, I was completely out of touch.
