So now my friend made the public post about Suhr. This one is in Finnish so you probably won't understand it unless you're 0,5% of the worlds population:
Muusikoiden.net - Keskustelu - Suhr Guitars boikottiin - Epic Fails - I'm sure he will post it on TGP later.
So to recap. He has ordered FOUR CUSTOM SUHR GUITARS.
1st guitar: Floyd Rose broken in two pieces, wrong pickups.
2nd guitar: Wrong color pickups.
3rd guitar: Wrong pickup selector switch, volume knob in place of tone knob and vice versa. Was supposed to take 10 months to build but took 16 months.
4th guitar: Was supposed to be ready in 3 months but took over 10 months. Contacted Suhr about the guitar after 3 months and they admitted they hadn't started making it. "A human error" they called it. However he would get onto a "hotlist" and the guitar would be ready in a month. Well... it took 7 months from that point. They promised him a premium top because of the three guitars that had problems before. In the end they didn't give this premium top. They promised a discount for the wait but last week when my friend got his guitar they asked for the full price.
And John Suhr has lost it. He used to be something special... now he's just trying his best to maintain a good reputation and that's the only motivation for him being a nice guy. Not a genuine nice guy... there's a big difference.
Then you see something like this:
That proves that all their claims of delays etc. are bullshit. Imagine the look on my friends face when his guitar was supposed to be ready 6 months ago when that video came out and they're saying. "It only took 2 months."
F*** SUHR!
