This is a Kahler version of a Floyd. Not much different from a Floyd, save for the auto latch feature…

All tape measures are different, so an inch in this case isn't much. And it would appear their scales are calibrated by a butcher.

Why? If the package isn’t incorrect then you’re overdoing it…just because?

Do you have the printout from UPS to send Reverb? It’s not overly hard to get a reply from Reverb. whenever I encounter any company who does intentionally creative fund raising or manipulative tactics I’ll never step foot on their turf again until there’s been an actual change in management because people who have to be kind by force aren’t worth doing business with at all.

Manually add at least an inch and two lbs. to each ups or fedex.

Hey, gang! Let's start sharing FedEx horror stories now!

I couldn't Kahler less about what trem is on my guitar.

PP offers a cashback Master Card. I think by Synchronicity, like Sweetwater. I use it on every purchase and pay it off each month. I've never had to do a charge back so can't comment but I would imagine it's the same as any card. I use it for the cash back. I have around $200 in my PP account just from this year.

Well that’s a big F U to UPS!!! This thread has maybe gone the wrong way a little. UPS are the villains here and they know it. Thank goodness I rejected my UPS job offer and went to FedEx instead…

I am still yet to use a Kahler trem properly. I only ever had one in my workshop…

Yeah, hell hath frozen over. I bought a Kahler. 😆 This is (one of) their fulcrum trem(s), a Steeler with the Auto Latch which allows me to lock the bridge down as a fixed bridge with the swing of the arm. Now I can do all the whammy shenanigans on a 24 fret Gibby scale SG, as well as fixed bridge passages/techniques. Going on my SG Diablo which is already outfitted with a factory installed Floyd- minimal modification of the cavity needed.

That is a funny and sad question.

Two Tone Sunburst. Had my 03 Standard done in that finish. They got rid of it in 04-05 and just offered the Tobacco Sunburst as a regular finish.

Many years ago, I came upon a partscaster style builder that had a full scale designer based on fixed options for guitar and bass and have you ordered your own design. I remember we have had a discussion back than about this topic and one or a few guys had ordered something individual at the same time. It could be easily 10+ years ago, long before the pandemic. Back then, I had designed a bass guitar and stored the pic in my files. Although I have never come to order, I have loved to look at it for many years. For a stupid reason the pic was lost. So, now I want to kind of redesign "my" bass again. However, I thought it had been Warmoth, But they don't offer a full scale instrument designer on their homepage, at least today. I remember it had been a fairly popular or common builder at the time, but absolutely cannot remember. So, sharpen you brains. Digg into your memories. Which partscaster style builders do you know having an online design tool?

I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen an Artist spec’d exactly like this one before —it’s like a Korina Artist w/ P-90’s only all mahogany. The finish is kind of boring, would’ve been better in Jazzburst, but at least it’s not *RED. BUT what really drew my attention was that if you squint, it almost, Kinda, sorta, resembles a NEWPORT 90. Not bargain priced but who knows what offer they’d accept. https://reverb.com/item/100484701-hamer-artist-semi-hollow-2001-sunburst

I think you're missing my point and we may have to agree to disagree. My dispute with VISA is based on the Visa Reason Code 13.3 (Not as Described/Defective Merchandise). The item I received was defective merchandise and did not work. The transaction meets that official 13.3 Visa Reason code. The insurance issue is the shippers dispute with UPS, not VISA. And, myself and VISA are not involved in the dispute with UPS at all.

So weird, I've never heard of a "gift card" return policy 🤔

I've gotten Gotoh parts from Guitar Hey before. (https://guitarhey.com/) I think I ended up with the EV510T-FE1 on my guitars.

UPDATE- I WILL NOW SHIP DOMESTICALLY FOR ADDITIONAL SHIPPING/INSURANCE COSTS!

In another thread it was recommended to add to the box dimensions. My eBay postage estimates are based on the possibility of errors on dimensions and weight. With the US Postal Service it usually does not make a difference in price on smaller boxes. We all might need to add imaginary weight to the packages we ship.

I don't download apps or do QR codes. Jeez, I forgot about drive-throughs. Can't remember the last time I've been through one. Gotta be 30 years ago. I guess I'm a Luddite-Curmudgeon.

The recipient may not have to notify the shipper, but then in turn UPS doesn’t have to pay the recipient for a claim because you agreed to the terms of service. If you want to be paid for a claim, then you must notify so the shipper can make the proper adjustments based on you the recipient’s legally agreed to terms of service. Sorry to be so harsh but this is how the legal depts work and it’s best for everyone to understand the thought processes in order to protect oneself. In many cases by getting more services you agree to forfeit more rights. Looking forward to hearing what the final visa verdict is because I’d be surprised if they don’t allow the charge to go through once they dig into this.

I am in contact with the seller. He doesn't understand the new program either. The money is sitting in a ebay gift card now and i have that number. Ebay will not let me spend the gift card till the seller sends me a code authorizing the gift card. Complicating things is the seller speakes no english. But sells out of a wharehouse in the midwest. And he does take returns. It's all good up to him emailing the code. He sent the money back and ebay pit it in a card. It's just frustrating. They used to return it to my Credit card. But this is some new policy.

I’m kidding but seriously at 13 I had no idea it meant shipping and handling. This until I got the bill and then learned I had to ship them cards back or crap came in the mail. Good thing I had my first jobs. Paper boy and janitorial assistant. 😆😎🤩

They definitely fixed his voice from the weak, trembling voice in the original I posted which was promptly taken down. Ozzy sounds good - too good. And he looks good and is able to wave his arms from side to side and say, "I love you all." Shout out to Tommy Clufetose. I had no idea he was smashing the drums for Ozzy. I recognized him as soon as I saw that swing of the sticks. He's got a special place in my heart.
