"Other than dots" on fretboard, options

support@line6.com — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 03:52:27 GMT

Some weeks ago in a discussion of the new models coming out, there was the complaint that the only choices were dots on the fretboard.

This caused me to investigate inlaystickers.com .

Attached is an image of my JTV-69 (Korea) with a Warmoth Maple neck/fretboard and Fleur-de-lis (Red Abalone & Blace Pearl).

They impressed me enough for me to do them on more of my guitars. See Photo 960 (slide-show). The slide-show stops auto-scrolling if you click on any of the 10 dots at the bottom of the frame or either of the two arrows at the side so one can inspect a specific image more easily.

You can have a very good looking Tree-of-Life for about $25. All of the fretboard "inlays" are designed to cover existing dots.

The results in the customer photos section speaks for themselves.

Hi folks,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I ordered my JTV-69 from AMS too. After reading this thread I called them to check on the status of my order placed on 1/3/11. I was told mine was not canceled ( I paid with a credit card ). Actually, "put an authorization on a credit card".

I inquired why they would cancel any one's order after 60 days? They told me last summer they were unable to collect on a significant number of pay-pal transactions. These authorizations expire after 60 days and cannot be paid thereafter. They shipped the goods to people but were unable to get paid for a large number of items sold. I'm guessing that your money order probably had such an expiration date on it also. They hold off charging or cashing an authorization until the item ships. If the method of payment has one of these an expiration dates and the time has expired, then they cannot get the money. According to AMS, they lost thousands to expiring authorizations last summer and have had to change their policy. (or words to that effect).

I have bought items using money orders, and there is a copy that you keep as you mail in the money order. I recollect reading on the back that it did expire and after that happens, only the orginal purchaser can get his money back at the location where he bought it using that keep-copy. But my last money order was 5 or 6 years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be.

Any one using a credit card should be OK.

But, anyone who buys from AMS with a method of payment which has an expiring authorization, should give them a call.

The AMS persons I've talked to could not tell me my position on the waiting list (3 tone sunburst 69). At the time I placed it, I was given the impression I was 2nd on the list, but recently, zero additional info has come to light and they seem to be discounting or ignoring that orginal impression..

My real concern, is just how good of a guitar are we getting. Some early reports are disturbing !!!
