Musician's Friend contacted us only a few hours after we posted
Mitch's story of the used guitar shipping screw up. He writes, "This kind of thing simply can't happen, ever. We've tracked down Mitch's order information and have been attempting to reach him on the phone to make things right."

Did you know
Guitar Center, Musician's Friend, and "a few other online music retailers" all share the same centralized distribution center? That's the explanation a Musician's Friend CSR gave Mitch when he tried to solve the mystery of the dented, twisted-neck, not-even-from-the-right-store Fender Telecaster. It looks like Guitar Center shipped him another company's returned item. That's bad enough, but now Guitar Center says they won't make good on his order because it's beyond the 30 day return period. Hey, Guitar Center: What return period? Mitch never got the product he ordered in the first place.
Update: Musician's Friend
has responded with an apology.
