Sweetwater Music has a custom shop?!

How many folks knew this? I was today years old when I found out.

I too subscribe to riffs beards and gear.

Yeah, they have a full service tech/luthiery side of the business, but it's only so-so from my experience.

 

[MrWulf]

And sort of expensive too. An SS refrets are way overpriced for example

Exists about as much as their 55 point inspection.

I find them a bit overrated overall tbh. They don't work with you much on discounts because they say that their "personalized" service makes up for it. Well maybe for some but I've had pretty much the same service level at MF/GC online or Zzounds/AMS. Unless you count the candy lol.

Their "55 point" inspection also leaves much to be desired. They sent me a MM JR with no tremolo bar/tools and a scratch on the bridge. Even if that was from EBMM themselves they should have caught it before it left. So much for that inspection. They are good with returns I'll give them that.

I just watched the video and yeah, basically. I remember seeing a video awhile back of them repairing Dweezil's Gibson SG.

They refused to build me a Wangcaster. Some "custom shop" they are.
