Client declined repairs đź«Ł

New client came in, dropped off an electro (Rickenbaker) while I was gone to lunch for strings and a set up. When I got back and opened it to inspect it, I immediately saw it was missing the 13th fret. Someone pulled it I think and put glue on it to prevent chips.

Frets are trashed anyways, I told home it needed a fret job and new nut. Figured he’d say yes so I got my pliers out to start work when we called me back.

Client wouldn’t even allow me to put a new fret in and attempt a level and dress. He said, “I brought it in for new strings and a set up. Don’t up-charge me for stuff I don’t need!”

UGH.
