68- New Guitar Expectations (Jason)

I love my Gibson’s, I love my PRS’s, I love my Fender’s, I love my Kretzmann… but the expectations I have out of each guitar is different.

Every guitar company has their known quality control issues. From tuning stability, to fret sprout, to finish rejection, to dead on arrival electronics. Although this is an issue, we as players are willing to overlook these shortcomings each manufacturer or guitar has simply because of the name on the headstock or cost behind it.

But… Why do we have double standards? Are there any blanket expectations? What would it take for you to return a guitar? Does price matter? Should a case be included? How does customer service play a role in all of this? And… why is this group therapy session considered a tribute?

Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Jason, on the Tweed Couch.
