Case question... sorry
Case question... sorry
Thanks, I had them ship it to me since I didn't want to drive an hour each way back to the dealer again to pick up when it comes in.
Not sure if ESP will be sending it directly to me or if it will go to the dealer first, they check it over, put it in a case and then send to me. Again, I guess questions I should have asked when I was there...
I think when ordering ESP guitars in North America, at least in Canada, they don't come with a guitar case That is usually explicitly stated within the details of the item with "case not included" while in Europe it seems commonly to include a case with the purchase of the guitar.
I got my ESP shipped without a case from the dealer with just a flimsy cardboard that didn't seem to handle stress well with the guitar inside a gig bag only.
If the dealer says it did, it probably comes with a case.
I ordered my ESP standard from a small dealer, and it came in the HSC. I believe he has all his guitars shipped that way, I could be wrong, but the case was included in the price and he gave me a very fair deal. Never hurts to ask them to throw it in either, I d imagine they would work with ya, to sell the axe, just food for thought....
Yup, i'm usually good at haggling a deal, but i didn't think to ask as I figured it would come in a case since my PRS did when I custom ordered it and most high-end guitars usually do.
Also the guitar was special order, they don't carry any ESP Standard or Custom series in their store, so I didn't have much leverage since I wasn't helping them clear inventory, just placing an order.
Anyways, I'm hoping it comes in a case just for the sake that it's not damaged from shipping although it is fully insured. If i have to shell out another $100 for a case, big deal.
scoo, did you pay with a credit card or did you pay cash or check(that has cleared) ?
if credit card, call the store and ask all the same you asked here;
if you don't like the answers discuss it with them politely;
if you don't get the results you want tell them to cancel the order and refund your money.
if they refuse then don't accept delivery when it arrives (if you're home), if it's left on your porch ship it back, tell the store you want a refund, and if necessary call your credit card company for a refund.
i acknowledge you should have asked when buying it, however the store also should have discussed it when you were buying it, so i feel blame is about 50/50 here you and the store for not sussing this out beforehand.
the store should handle it amicably, be polite and ask them.
imo, if it didn't say comes with case, it doesn't, because esp/japan companies oddly don't usually include a case.
really? no one? :|
