To play with the Who, he needs a Fenderbird. Or maybe a Jaebird. That would also work.

The up side to this is that it was caught before it went out, i can name 2 companies which would have let that go.
Hard to refrain naming them, but, i'm trying to have a little class here.

He seems like a really straight up guy. I don't know which two companies you mean, and I don't need to know. My thoughts on the matter are that you don't know who you are dealing with until something goes wrong. It's not that something went wrong, it's what they do about it and in response that matters. So far as I can tell from a distance, he's doing the right thing.

when I got the belly cut done on my BaCH, the guy that did it complained about the weather at that particular time of year. He said he preferred jobs like that in the summer. Because I needed the bass, I told him to go ahead and because he's hourly I took the bass back with a spray job that could have been done better. it's not bad but could be better. No biggie since it's just a BaCH and you can't really see it because it's on the back and you kinda have to look closely. In retrospect, I would have waited until summer. These guys aren't cheap..

I had this very same thing, that happened on a Stingray i had refin'd here.
She called me to tell me about it, and was honest about it. Explained the whole thing to me.
She said it had to be redone, and was her fault. That meant a lot to me that she wanted to do the right thing.
