I picked up a Fernandes Ravelle from Axe Music in BC (I'm in Toronto) - had it since December of '06. Really haven't played it much until about 2 months ago when I decided it needed a bit of a setup. I take the truss rod cover off and find that the nut is completely loose and stripped - threads on the truss rod are still in perfect shape. I contacted Axe and Fernandes customer service who both seemed very helpful and willing to come up with a solution (even if it meant taking the guitar to Steve's for repair instead of shipping it back to Axe). 2 weeks pass and no responses... I email a few more times and still nothing. In my last email I basically asked if they could just send me a truss rod nut or at least let me know the thread size so I could get my own - they're like $4 at StewMac. All I received was an email from Fernandes' customer service stating "3/4" - gee thanks! I ended up taking a nut from a neck I had laying around and it fit.
This wasn't my first purchse from Axe, but it's definitely my last.
I'm planning on writing a letter to the owner of Axe Music explaining my dissatisfaction - whether I get a response or not really doesn't make a difference to me at this point. I'm also wondering if there's a way to contact Fernandes directly, bypassing their "customer service", to let them know how this situation was handled.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Cheers,
Joe
