Eastwood guitars customer service

I put a deposit down to secure one of the johnny Ramone guitars coming out next month. On my receipt it said I had until August 24th 2023 and I sent them an email asking if I could pay it down each week or if they wanted to take the whole amount at once . I didn't know since this is my first experience with Eastwood guitars. Someone got back to me pretty quickly and let me know that the guitars would be coming in early probably in the next week or two. I explained that I was under the impression that I had until August 24th to pay it off because that's what is printed on my receipt. They got right back to me and said that he could either charge the whole amount on the 24th as was originally planned or they could put me on a five week payment plan and that they would go ahead and ship me the guitar when it comes in even if it's not completely Paid off yet. I thought that was really cool. They were very clear and helpful in their communications and we're willing to work with me on the financing and even send me the guitar before it was paid off.(and I'm a first time customer for them) Just wanted to let you guys know that if your thinking about trying out an Eastwood guitar that there customer service is top notch I wouldn't anticipate having any problems should you need to return something.
 
Mikelamury I'm genuinely curious to what companies you've had bad experiences with in the last three years. I'm constantly buying items direct, through reverb, sweetwater, etc. It's been the opposite for me - I've only had good experiences thus far. Even with purchases in which the seller clearly states "No refunds or exchanges..." I haven't had an issue getting a refund or exchange. Guitar and guitar part companies are generally pretty good understanding people. Seymour duncan is a great example too.
 
Sweetwater, man. I like them, but I don't need a text and a phone call every month or two from the guy who happened to get assigned to ship me some strap buttons a couple years ago.

The only annoying customer service experience I had with guitar stuff in the past few years was at Floyd Rose, and they weren't rude or anything, just took forever to get back to me.

I wasn't saying most customer service is necessarily bad just it's just what you would expect. I felt like they went above and beyond offering to send me a guitar before I have paid for it and I'm a first time customer. I was trying to say it's rare for a company to have *GREAT* customer service. I agree SD has above average customer service so does Sweetwater.
 
Good to hear about Eastwood -Im tracking with one RIGHT NOW in the studio


2 Years ago Sennheiser's Consumer Support division was sold off to a Swiss company and I can tell you their support completely sucks now.

Pro Audio is still ok in US, but I have a person assigned to me
