Hi Joe. If you are able to write a scathing review on the Badcat web site I’d do it asap. PayPal should get it resolved but you sure don’t need the hassle as you say. Look forward to your update. Hang in there!
I only know of one other person, personally, that's dealt with them directly. Almost sounds like a carbon copy of their experience. That made me cautious, now your experience confirms the gamble isn't worth it for me. Thanks for sharing this with us👍
I didn’t have a good experience with them either. The brand is US based, but all product made in China. They were hyping up their acrylic guitar on social media and ordered one. When it came, the guitar looked like it was used, returned, repacked, and resold. The guitar was scuffed, bad tuners, dirty frets, broken bridge jacked all the way up. After researching on Amazon and seeing almost identical products from other brands, it looks like they buy up product from China and simply stamp their name on it.
That's a real shame. I will NOT be dealing with this company, nor even buying any of their stuff on Amazon. I've been looking at one of their kits. Nope. I'll cross tat off my wish list! Sorry you've had a bad experience Buddy.
@@AJgeartalk Will do, Bro. Will do. They are off my consideration list. Won't be checking them out. Did you see my comment about my Family being from Long Island?
Unfortunate situation. Now I remember where I heard about the Badcat Strats. 60 Cycle Hum and Philip McKnight 2 yrs ago. I live in Tucson and if you're local I'll fix it for you free. I'm the Strat Guy. I collect and modify Strats. I have 25 Strats in my herd 🎸
Thank you for such a considerate offer David! Unfortunately I am in NY. I have escalated this through Paypal. It will get resolved eventually-just a hassle! Hope you are well- and thanks again for the offer!
@@AJgeartalk You're welcome. Where in N.Y.? I was born in Brooklyn and grew up on Long Island. Live there for 50 yrs and got tired of the winters there. Been in the Southwest 10 yrs now 🌵
@@AJgeartalk Cool, small world ☺ yes it is. I noticed a budget Strat that looks good you may be interested in when you get a refund. The Staff SES 60 Strat HSS with block inlays n binding and coil split. Good price for what you get. I'd be all over it if they had a lefty version ✌
@@AJgeartalk My family on one side.... came South from NYC. Originally Queens and Brooklyn.... but eventually they settled for years out on Long Island. Kings Park to be exact. Joe - if I were in a couple hours of you... I'd turn that baby into a world touring guitar for you! We could have a blast with it! Sorry this one didn't work out for you Brother!
I have an idea! Mail it to me, I'll fix it (making a video and review as well) and either give it away to one of your subscribers or send it back to you. What do you think?
Hey thanks for the shout out. I appreciate it much and if I was anywhere near your I fixed the damn thing for you
Thanks Mike. Much appreciated!

Thanks Tim. Just time consuming and a PITA! Be well brother.

I wish I had a better experience to report. Very unfortunate. Thanks Michael.

That's exactly what they do Daniel. Real shame. Hope yours works out better than mine!

I just bought a badcat telecaster from amazon prime and its got free a return policy with prime shipping.
Yes- exactly what I recommended in this video. Buy from Amazon -not direct from Badcat.

That's not a bad idea Art of Shred- but I don't have the patience to get involved with mailing it out, etc. Appreciate the idea , though!
Charge back time!

I got a BC ...tele and its worth the money
