If it's been long enough for the warranty to have ran out then I don't know that the shop who sold it would still be responsible.
Someone interested in cars might be able to tell if a mechanic is being honest but then they might not know much about the world of laptops etc. etc.
Fuck it, I’ll sit in a corner of their shop endlessly changing strings for half that.
I bought a Charvel but not from that store.
I went back a few days later armed with my TT & played the guitar through it, accompanied by another coffee.
There was no pressure to buy, although I did buy the guitar.
I was offered the option of having it set up before I took it away or taking it away as it was & returning when I wanted when they would set it up, if I thought anything needed altering, & show me how to change the strings & re-tune it as it is my first Floyd equipped guitar.
Cost, just the set of strings.
I had never even been in this store before but they will get my custom from now on.
It wasn't a disastrous set-up by any means but the action was quite high, especially for small hands, and I couldn't get it lower without introducing choking so I sent it to my tech who did fettle it to perfection. A good fret dress later and it does now play very well, but you have to question the spurious bollocks that manufacturers and retailers spout.

I have played it for nearly a week now & all I have done is just lower the action very slightly myself to suit me, everything else is fine.
The point of my post was that what PMT told me was both laughable & untrue.
The shop I bought the guitar from were honest & far more sensible.
I had half an hour playing the guitar in the shop & their suggestion that I brought with me what I actually would be using at home made perfect sense.
Also their suggestion that I may be better off playing it for a few weeks, bearing in mind it played great, & then see if I wanted anything changed made sense to me.
Any set up work is free & as I have never had a Floyd before & asked a lot of questions about changing strings & re-tuning their offer to bring the guitar back for it"s first string change & they would go through a string change/tune with me for free was again sensible, IMO.
The experience was completely the opposite of PMT.
The shop I bought the Charvel from was A Strings in Pontypridd, South Wales, & based on my, admittedly limited experience, I would recommend them.
It was my second bad experience with PMT & there will not be a third in a hurry.
