Newt’s Grow Journal (´◡`) (Part 1)

@newt @kaptain3d An interesting anecdote…

The music store where we take our lessons is also a stringed instrument repair shop. The owner suggested that the “action” on my guitar needed to be adjusted. On Tuesday I dropped it off and it was supposed to be ready on Thursday.

When we arrived for our lesson yesterday he told me that he had found a bubble in the finish and that he was repairing it. My guitar would not be ready for another few days.

I am fine with it but don’t believe that he “found” a bubble that chipped. If he had he surely would have called and asked if I wanted it repaired and given me an estimated cost. He just went ahead and started fixing it and gave me a (brand new) loaner until mine was ready. This all tells me that they bumped it and chipped the finish.

What do you think?

Could be either. But in either case, it sounds like a good thing. If he dinged and repaired it, he’s a stand-up guy. If he found a blemish and repaired it for you because you’re a lessons customer, then that’s stellar customer service.

Guitars get dinged. No preventing it with an instrument this size.

He has guitars in the repair que that look like either an encounter with a car tire or a pissed off significant other.

Totally agree with @Newt :smile:
As long as he doesn’t charge for repairs he makes without your consent… :thinking:
But if it’s free, that’s stellar customer service.

And guitars do get used and dinged… that adds to the personality, imo…

Good morning cannabis lovers. I must admit that have been struggling a bit with my recent diagnosis. Vision loss sucks, and I think I may have been as close to experiencing actual depression as I ever have been. But this morning I had an epiphany, I believe.

I can’t allow vision loss to change the way I look at life.

Stay lit!

I can only imagine how you must feel…and it is normal to feel like that…I would think it would be kind of like grieving for a death of someone you love…you have lost a part of you…but not all of you :cowboy_hat_face:

I am just glad that I am not prone to depression, and am trying to not let it get bad. I think this morning’s revelation was helpful.

We are glad that you are feeling better this morning.

“Age related” this and “Age related that” is about all we hear any more. The next thing I expect to hear is “Age Related Oldness”. :grin:

Mrs Merlin and I send you our warmest thoughts, my friend.
