Someone bought an Ibanez guitar like the model you see above, returned to the shop a month later demanding some compensations because according to that individual, there were cracks at the areas indicated. According to the individual also, the seller (in this case the shop) didn't inspect the instrument closely & let this one slipped through the transaction. I believe the shops here can measure up against such claims but should this be a case of an after-market deal, do you think you can protect yourselves adequately from such circumstances especially when there's absolute insistence on the buyer's part that it's your oversight exclusively?

Cracked gio ? oh man ,thats wats you get for buying MIC guitars.Only certain shops will inspects their goods before its on the shelves. Btw which shop WAS tis crap come from ?
"...came back to the shop a month later..." a MONTH later!
So its acceptable for a gio to have cracks then? So if i buy mic its ok to accept it?
i think its from one of those BLACKLISTED resellers shp in BRAS BASAH ...
it's not about the shop...
LOL! nice one sub.
I think the buyer also have the responsibility to make sure that his guitar is in tip-top condition before bringing it home.
a DAY, up to a WEEK maybe acceptable... but a MONTH?
I think the issue here is that since the owner returned it a month later, you don't know when the damage occurred, it could easily have developed cracks after being dropped, etc. So you have case of the retailer's word against the customer's word which you can't conclusively prove.
And.. to the two anonymous.
Please do not judge thru, stereotypes. It does not necessarily mean that CHINA STUFFS ARE BAD. It's a fallacy
in fact, it would be near impossible to escape anything that is made from china. ur shoes, socks, shirts and caps. There is even a saying; In the beginning, God made Heaven and Earth. Everything else is Made in China. -.-
Hi, i'm the second anon guy. Yeah i'm referring to the first anon poster. I feel its not fair to generalise all mic stuffs as bad. I have a couple of mic myself and so far happy with them, considering the price. Of course some mic stuffs are doa or lemon pieces, but most are fine. Back to the article, i tink it's fair if complaints made within a week. A month is too long, owner might have drop it from the roof of his car and still claim seller's fault. Like that how can? A week shd be sufficient, maybe a few mins or hours to inspect during freetime after work at home or during weekends.
a month long reference time conjures some implications here; it puts the buyer in disrepute.
if you value the product per se, the country of origin shouldn't be the final take on QC. keep in mind that there are many outstanding chinese craftsmanship out there which many of us would hesitate to acknowledge- we are stigmatized by the china = bad encounters.
I bought a MIC guitar ONCE, never again. They didn't have the ground wire soldered!! It was hanging in mid air. I ended up replacing/fixing most of the guitar. Never again. Buy cheap-excpect junk.
