They wouldn't be copy and pasted, they would be screenshots of the actual emails which would be hard to fake and would be admissible in a court of law just like any other document.

Wow! I can't believe this is still going on!
As a purely objective reader, I am not faulting either party involved in this debacle. But if I were building something for someone, anything at all, and that person paid money for me to start working on it, and then decided to back out and ask for is money back once I have actually started the build and utilized my labor and skill, not to mention material that has already been cut....they would be getting the thing I was building in the condition it was in when they backed out of the deal. How do you get your time and effort back, and how do you put the wood back into the tree once you give money back? If you buy a plank of plywood from Home Depot and cut it up, then try to return it, I bet you won't get your money back...(that is if the cashier knows how to think...but that's a whole other debate)
And if I were a small business owner and had a problem like this, with a disgruntled customer slandering me all over the Internet, you bet your ass I'd have my attorney involved.
Just reading some of the 20+ pages I missed over the last few months, I happened to see this:
I'm just saying...if I worked with wood all my life, I guarantee that I would never be paying anyone to build me a wooden instrument...I would definitely be building it myself...even if it takes 10 years.
Believe it or not, I am actually considering to learn to work with wood so that I could build my own instrument one day.

This guy ripped me off. And I sent him hundreds of dollars in wood. You're not taking sides, don't seem that way. He is out nothing. The stuff that he did do was wrong and not what I ordered. He used the wrong woods and and put me off. My order was very simple. He couldn't even remember scale length. I asked him not to make a drawing, he made one anyway. I asked him not to make mock up he made one anyway. You're not taking sides? Are you just a jerk then? This guy completely blew me off. The last time I contacted him before I lost my cool it took him two weeks to get back to me just to tell me he had done nothing. I work on log homes not guitars, but I am building my own anyway. So what.
I had every right to ask for my money back. Within three emails of asking he agreed to refund my money but never sent it witch makes him a liar and a thief. I even have him on video saying he's ready to send the check and I have emails that he says the check will be in the mail neck week. That was a year ago.
You'll get a different answer depending on who you ask...
And no, I'm not taking sides...just responding with my own attitude to what I read, that's all....same as the last 500+ posts by other members.
if you can, then you can. I don't work with wood, so I wouldn't dare make my own guitars. A friend of mine does wood floors and cabinets, he built his own P-bass from scratch...
I know how to work with steel, so I built my own exhaust pipes...so what?
You're obviously taking sides, and no one asked you about your exhaust, that's off topic. So what.
I've got screenshots of everything. All the emails between me and rybski, even lies and other comments posted here that were deleted by people when there bs was called out. I even got a email from rybski saying anyone here on tb talking for him is lieing. But so what, it's just evidence that backs up what I'm saying.
Ribski will never pay me back and he will not come to this forum. The guy is a liar and a thief and I have proved that. I'm not worried about it. People are who they are. I'm a very happy person and am not bothered by the things I can't control. I will never see my money from him and that's ok. This post will remain here to remind everybody what this guy does and how poorly he treats a customer that gave him thousands of dollars.
This sucks on so many levels. I run my own small business and do studio work for clients all over the place. If somebody has a problem with service, I fix it. Of course I do a lot of things that put me out there in terms of risk. I play for free and THEN take payment. I would never take payment on something I have not done yet, and I have been offered crazy deals up front to lock me down for an entire album, but it is unfair to other clients who I'm working with, so I risk losing the record and go track by track. It always works out.
Taking money up front before a build is done is a red flag. I have a build being done right now for me and I have not been asked to deposit one nickel. I will pay when it is ready to be shipped.
It just makes me mad that someone lost over 3 grand. That is a ton of money for anybody to lose. How someone can sleep at night stealing money from musicians - I will never understand it.

I strongly advise that you don't get involved with this, man. I made the mistake of doing so, and regret it. I love my Rybski bass (pictured in my avatar) and I'll leave it at that.
So... this post is confusing. Are you indicating not to get involved with Chauncy or Rybski?
No. This thread and the situation which is between Chauncey and Rybski.
You spread a bunch of lies about me and then deleted them when
You got called out. If you don't want to be involved in this thread then kindly butt out.you are here of your own free will.
To alleviate a misunderstanding... check the post above yours... answered... it's about this thread... which is like a bad telenovella...
