So my "new" Marshall Origin 50 Head from Musician's Friend showed up this morning in Texas in a giant, beat up box with a Guitar Center location in California on the return label. There was no manufacturer packaging whatsoever, and the power cable and the footswitch were both plugged in. When I went to pick up the head by the handle on the top, it started coming apart. The left side of the head shell was broken from the bottom, and the right side was in the process of doing the same thing.
I got someone on the phone who was obviously new and had about sixteen questions for her supervisor. She promised to call me back once they were sorted out, but that didn't happen by 5:00 this afternoon, so I called back. I learned that Musician's Friend/GC is using floor models to satisfy demand because of supply chain issues. Anyway, now it's in an Amazon box back to Musician's Friend while I wait for their back order from Marshall to be filled.
I hope everyone else had a nice day.
