If we are being charitable, we could put it down to them being locked down too long and losing all perspective.
The bashing is mostly due to this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSNxIry_FPFcQDFRbi3VOAw/community?lb=Ugw1kxo3Hq0qEFVKFCV4AaABCQ
the Andertons bashing is basically down to folk who feel entitled and get butt hurt if their delivery isn’t with them five minutes after they hit buy... or their money isn’t refunded the instant they ask for a refund when they’ve taken full advantage of the distance selling bollocks just to try a guitar at home... or because the relic guitar they bought has a scratch on it that doesn’t fit the template used by the guitar company... or because they didn’t get a big enough discount or a free set of strings etc etc etc etc and fucking etc...
it’s tiresome to keep having these threads pop up all over the forum... and yep, I know I don’t have to read the threads (they are hard to ignore tho’) which leads me onto:
The Andertons pay per view YouTube... don’t watch it... no one is forcing you... same with shipping with Andertons... no one is forcing you to spend your money with them...
but for the love of Hendrix and all that the guitar gods represent.... stop fucking whining about Andertons...
also, whoever compared Lee to Jimi saville should really be booted from the forum IMO... what a crass and idiotic statement to make!...
I quite like the YouTube channel. I've got to admit that I preferred the videos with "chappers" and I kind of feel like it was another typical YouTube witch hunt that blew some mistakes of his out of proportion (or I missed more details from the story). I wouldn't pay for the channel but I wouldn't pay extra for any YouTube content.
They've probably made some mistakes along the way but everyone does. I find the glut of other YouTube content that gains popularity far more offensive. Pure clickbait trash. If they start posting along the lines of.... "We tried the new Gibson and you won't believe what happened"..... I'd be seriously put off. Every comment I've read on the paid service seems critical but it doesn't offend me. If they start holding back material for the premium service they'll lose viewers. I'd imagine that's worth more to them than a few subscriptions. They'll do what makes them the most money though.
I'm terms of other shops, I tend to order most from guitar guitar and they've always been fast and well packed. The only problem I had was resolved quickly and with a very friendly phone call. The online chat is generally helpful too. I feel like the majority of shops nowadays are and if you can't wait a few days for a guitar then that's perhaps a bit unreasonable (unless you've specifically paid for next day etc).
Anyway, the more guitar shops the better. Can't wait to get back to browsing guitars in the flesh!
could we not have a “retailers” area of the forum which is behind closed doors so that folk can bitch or praise away as they see fit? It would:
1) keep these sort of threads popping up every. couple of days in the main forum.
2) stop the threads being viewed by non members and in turn stop non members thinking the forum is just full of entitled twats .
3) prevent retailers names coming up alongside famous kiddy fiddlers.
4) possibly give the retailers a chance to respond.
5) give the butthurts a place to vent!...
6) keep these sort of threads popping up every couple of days in the main forum!...
There is a fair chance he has read this thread as some of us know and some posters here really should bear in mind.
Maybe if people considered if they wouldnt walk into the store and say it to his face they shouldn't say it at all it might help.
