Hello. It's been quite a while since I last posted here. Perhaps no one even remembers me here anymore. I found my username erased, it's been so long. I reregistered under the same name. so here I am.
A little about myself. I write and play my own gospel music. I'm a strummer mostly. I live in rural northwest Kansas. I've got about two albums worth of songs I've dreamed up, that I like to drag out my guitar and fill up my little part of the world with beautiful sounds.
I've played an acoustic 12-string Seagull for about 10 or 12 years now. It's due for a setup and fret job, maybe even replace a few frets. It buzzes badly now on certain notes.
Almost one year ago, when the buzzing first started, we took the Seagull to a local music store, which -to be fair- I shall not name. They sent it to their 'main store'. Month after month, we would check back, and "No, it's not ready yet." The people in the store were very, very nice. They had no control over what was happening at the 'main store'.
After about eight months of this, a 'friend', who shall also remain unnamed, asked how my music was coming. What could I say? I said the guitar has been out 'for all this time'. How much time? About eight months.
He made a big deal out of, "Oh, that's ridiculous..." and so on. He volunteered himself, to go get the guitar, and take it to a different music store somewhere in northwest Kansas. He even sat there and whipped out his cell phone and made a big deal out of talking to the people at the other store about it.
So the first music store was contacted and asked to get back my 12-string from their 'main store', so it could be picked up and taken somewhere else. They got it back, and the 'friend' went and got it.
The 'friend' returned it to me. Then he left.
Since then, he refuses to talk about taking it to this other store, which I do not remember the name of. It has now been another two months. When asked, he will say, "Oh, I need to do that, don't I?" Then I don't hear from him again. He has to all appearances dropped the whole thing. Why, I have no idea.
The people at that music store seem a little embarrassed whenever I show up or call about anything now. Perhaps if the 'friend' had not interfered, they might have actually got my guitar back by now. I keep asking myself if there is anything I could have said or done, to make things work out better somehow.
So now, after ten months of my life, I still have not been able to get my guitar repaired. We don't have a car. If we use UPS, it's going to be difficult to meet the extra expense, but perhaps that is the best way to go.
I have no idea where to send my 12-string.
Does anybody know where I can send it that does good work and has good rates, please? Thank you so very much.
