B HEFNER - EDENHOUSE

[ftlpope]

I bought a one piece mahogany jazz body from this company (based in California) and it was not cheap. It took ages to arrive in the UK and it was 2 pieces the second piece being the bottom inch of the body (dumb or what?). Rather than send it back I asked for a refund and despite promises to refund my $100, nothing. Great work on the body but I suggest that you do not use this company.

Advertising something that is false is crap. Unfortunately, people get away with it, and people suffer for it. I am sure many here will appreciate the info.

Thanks for the heads up!

Not to take away form your thread but id $100 what you payed? Aside from the wait time and condition you recieved it in thats not expensive. Body blanks very often go for more.

It looks like a one piece mahogany J from them would be at least $260... was it a clearance item or 'B' stock? GUITAR PARTS, JAZZ BASS BODY, BASS BODY, FENDER GUITAR PARTS

Thanks guys, the price for one piece was $300 (£200) for 2 piece $200. (I lost £50). I was making my dream bass. ftlpope

It sounds like your expectation was that the glue seam for the two pieces would be centered, and they just glued an add-on to one large piece to make the full blank. I've seen this practice on older or cheap builders. Unfortunately, the B. Hefner website makes no claims as to how they glue up their blanks. If you get anything out of them, you've probably come out ahead.

No, his understanding was he bought a one piece body (not glued) and it came as 2 pieces witht he second piece being a small section at the bottom of the body.

I purchased a B hefner bass neck and it was a total piece of $500.00 garbage. Berni is a real freekin IDIOT..
I coul have made a better neck myself..

 

[Beej]

What kind of neck? What materials? What specs? What was wrong with it exactly? Any pics to back it up? Help a guy out here. You joined today just to post this but no real detail...

I've got a claim with this company. No news about my Qsaw maple JB neck. The contractual delay is out since 1 month (6 weeks).
