Don't go by the amount of views.

Those pictures show a shockingly bad level of completion for any guitar at any price let alone one costing that much green.
And "All sales are final" tells me this builder knew what he was doing and figured it was a chance worth taking, shifting this substandard guitar onto a customer who in all likely hood probably won't make a fuss because of the name on the headstock.

Really? What law, exactly, does threatening to sue someone without doing so violate? What period of time must pass between the threat of suit and the failure to sue before someone breaks that law?
That's not the OP's problem. If AC is in that bad financial straits that they have to scam customers with junk instruments, then they're on the verge of going out of business.
You cannot threaten to sue someone if you have no intention to do so. As told to me by an Illinois states attorney and 2 public defenders.
If you don't act on it. There are statute of limitations.
Edit: Threatening to sue, and going" I'll sue!!! I'll sue!!" and giving every act on doing so, but NOT going thru with it.
It's also harassment.

Addison - got a decent backup bass, or are you screwed until this gets resolved? Need to borrow one?
I wish the OP the best of luck in resolving this issue. This has turned into a potential PR nightmare for the manufacturer.
Years ago, I had a Korean-made Lakland that developed a little bit of fret sprout. I wasn't well-versed on instrument repair and sent an e-mail to Lakland asking about the issue. Dan Lakin responded by telling me to take it a shop and send him the repair receipt for reimbursement. That was truly appreciated and I would have hoped the manufacturer in this case would have done something similar to keep this from getting out of hand.

so, almost 30 pages of reasonable slender of AC, and no word from Jimmy, even thou he is informed of this thread...
from my point of view, Addison is a stand up guy, after all this trouble, he tries to remain calm and polite of all this, but here are some haters as well as some AC "lawyers" who attack Addison of this and that in order to disclaime his pursuit for a refund, and still, no word from the man himfels, either here or private.
I'm not supprised at all of that mistakes, it does often happen on many handmade's, but most of them are resolved very fast and ends up happy for both parties, and sometimes, like this, it ends up badly.
