A rant..

So get this, I buy a guitar on reverb from this guy attempting to run a guitar shop out of his apartment, that cool and I can honestly admire that, because that what I’m trying to do as well. So this guitar was advertised as needing truss rod work and nothing else, I bought it knowing this and hoping I’d get the chance learn how to replace a truss rod, but I got it plugged it in and messed around a bit after tuning it and I wasn’t getting all of my pickups, the added humbucker wasn’t getting sound, the guy told me that all electronics were good before shipping allegedly, which I believe was a load of crap there was glue residue on the strings from his packing material, but I still gave him a 4 star review, it wasn’t as described but I wasn’t unhappy with it either it was still a very good guitar, and as it turned out the truss rod wasn’t even broken or stripped like I was told, the reason the nut was spinning was because someone loosened it so much, I literally just had to tighten it back up, then today I took the pick guard off and looked inside and the humbuckers ground wire wasn’t even attached, like my guy, you said you checked all this, and you bitched at me for giving you a 4 star review when in actuality I should have given you a one star after how you talked to me, yeah I’m the first four star you got but I’m sure I won’t be the only one. If you’re going to run a store you need to put out your best, I’ve been doing this stuff for only a month and I was able to fix your shit and you have the nerve to get mad at me for taking advantage of the fact that I can buy guitar in poor shape and turn it around almost instantly to the point where the guy said I can’t buy from him anymore, my guy, after how you talked to me you don’t have to worry about that again.
But after all that I’m happy to say I have a beautiful black “tuxedo” 2013 squier bullet Stratocaster in fantastic working condition
