Good guitar & amp (?), quality control issues from Fender
I've never felt compelled to submit a review for any of my Amazon purchases, but this expereince with Fender warranted some comments.
I ordered this guitar package from Amazon and received it in 3 days even with super-saver shipping. Great service from Amazon.
I opened the kit and was prepping to plug it in and try it out when I realized there was no guitar cable included - pretty useless without a cable. I contacted Fender and they mailed a cable at no charge, but it took them a week (7 days) to do it. Once I was able to actually test the guitar, there was no Volume control knob, only three Tone control knobs. Obviously the top control was for the volume and it had the wrong knob assembled to it. I also realized there were no "setup/adjustment sheet" included. I contacted fender about these additional errors and they said they'd send them. I received the paperwork with no Volume knob. At that point, I cut my loses (and headaches) and I returned the package for Fender to deal with as there were simply to many quality control issues with the package I received, and the Fender rep seemed rather "slack" about the whole deal, calling it a "simple error" and didn't consider it "poor" quality.
The guitar and amp themselves seemed okay (I guess), but I received the impression that Fender has some quality control/assurance issues that they're not real concerned about addressing, which lead me to wonder what else may be wrong.
Great price, shipping and return policy for Amazon, poor quality control and slacker attitude from Fender. (I see that Amazon has lowered the price from $199 to $179 in just a couple of weeks, maybe they are experiencing similar issues from others(?) (2-16-08: and now they've raised the price back to $199))
