yep...My experience with them was bad....

I had trouble too. I actually sent them my pickguard to work from. Took forever to get it back and when I mentioned it didn't fit I was berated via e-mail.

In their defense, I did end up using the pickguard with a whole lotta file work. A whole lot. It still doesn't look right but from far away it's okay.

And in the vein of the "how you got here" thread ....I pm'd Aug at js.com about the pickguard and he mentioned this board. For that I am grateful.

Berated via email?

I don't get where they get the stones.

I had to be nice as they had my money and my old pickguard.

Things like this make me think the Malikaster is a trap. It must be filled with plastic explosives, or human hair or something. See, that was alright, and they get some nice pictures out occasionally, but what the hell causes the multitude of atrocious dealings?

Anything is possible when you don't give a fuck about anyone but yourself.

talked to the luthier, he said no dice, body is going back for the refund offered by noho

Post by **Mike** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 8:44 pm

Good.

Keep us updated. Let's hope they honour that refund.

the body just hit "delivered" status so i'm awaiting the refund.

in other news, i snagged a replacement body

it's ugly, beaten down, and will still need some pickguard work

in other words it's perfect for the maple b&b neck, hopefully it should be in early next week

OMG. Just read this whole thread. Can NOHO suck any more giant fucking cock?

it's like two drunken shitsticks playing with tools. For 225 bucks you can get a way better, LOADED body from ebay.

fuck noho.

still in the works, sub said they are lining things up on pay pal

i'm still waiting on another set of white witch hats (yes, those overpriced things) that i'll age to match the pickup cover. the pickguard will probably just get trimmed to fit, i really don't mind a gap around the neck pickup as it's black anyways, and it ads to the look. i got in the jazzcaster decals so short of some pots and some routing for the trem/bridge posts, and likely some shielding, it should be ready to get together....whenever my luthier gets a chance.

A rare look inside the noho workshop, with all their fine carpentry tools laid out for your delectation...

I would maybe hold back on that, The vintage witch hats on my Jazzmaster(well hat as I only have volume on there) has already darkened up a bit. Last thing you want is to age them and then a few months down the line find that you hats are darker than the pickups cover you were trying to match. I will have got the knobs from the same place as you nos. you can add mojo later, but you cant take away.

, forks are quite the quality routers.

That body looks way rad, I would keep it as is.
Bolt that shit down and play it.

only work that will happen to the body is routing for the trem, TOM placement, and some ferrules in the back, finish is staying as is

fuckin yes.

its funny, brittany and i were fantasising about basically this guitar here, except i had placed a wide range bucker instead of a jazzy, but i like yours even better.

but yeah, we were talking about fran's (WTFZ) (awesome and for sale) telemaster, and then brittang suggested the opposite, a jazzy with telecaster appointments, and this is what i pictured, even down to the tailpiece and bridge and everything.

really awesome guitar, man.

whoops! i meant jager's awesome and for sale telemaster, not fran's. wtf?
