Order was completely wrong.

Reviewed on 2021-05-24T18:51:36

I ordered a maple neck with a maple fretboard for a STRAT guitar. I was sent a rosewood fretboard for a TELE!!!I mean the order was completely wrong. Tried to get ahold of customer service and was not able to get through/ get a response. This is ridiculous!!!

Reviewed on 2021-04-02T17:25:34

Richard L in customer service is a joke. I believe the L stands for Lier. He said my order shipped on a Sunday march 28 2021. USPS does not ship on Sunday.I contacted him and it changed to Monday 29 @ 5:04 pm. Both post offices are closed by 4:30 pm. Another lie by Richard L. YOU SUCK RICHARD L !!!!

Replica 1933 Martin OM 28 Woodstax kit

Reviewed on 2021-01-16T02:38:33

Great customer service and never had an issue although they don’t have people working on site now be cause of the pandemic so that makes things much harder to call and speak to a tech.I gave 5 stars because I still love Stewmac but first, I ordered a Woodstax OM 28 kit, the top was supposed to be AAA but it was less than perfect, granted AAA Adirondack is harder to find than Sitka spruce. They gave me a refund and I found a better top. The truss rod wouldn’t fit in the neck I had to carve out the channel, the sides were shorter than the neck block, I had to sand it down to fit while keeping the 1.5/degree angle. I never had any problems with the standard Stewmac kit. There was a one word misprint in the instructions.. 20 inches instead of 19 1/4 not a big deal, I only mention these things so the technicians will know. Even with these 3 mishaps my guitar came out perfect , it’s beautiful and sounds incredible, I’ve never played a real Martin so I can’t compare but much better than a Taylor and a lot like a Gibson Advanced jumbo with its loud volume and clear sharp projection. Absolutely beautiful.

I ordered a guitar binding for my Christmas gift guitars. The original binding was lost in the mail,but StewMac initiated a new package to be sent before the "item is lost waiting period" and shipped it overnight to help me get the guitars done by the holidays. I'm extremely happy they were able to work with me.

I had a poor customer service experience

Reviewed on 2020-12-06T03:16:57

I ordered an Item on 11/27/20. The item was "shipped"11/30. It never shipped. I've complained.They told me they would ship it again November 4th if it didn't move along on tracking with USPS. It's November 5th and it did not ship. I have attempted contacting them multiple times on the 4th and 5th. No response. No Item. I don't recommend this company.

Shipping is extremely slow

Reviewed on 2020-12-05T17:28:03

Shipping is extremely slow, despite paying WAY too high of a price for the shipping costs.My items have been in pre-shipment for a week, which is to say that a label was created and the items are still sitting waiting to be given to the post office. StewMac's website says the items were shipped, but USPS shows not received still. This is not unacceptable, again at a PREMIUM price for shipping. Rip-off and POOR customer service!!

Shipping is foolishly high. High profit for Stew-Mac

Reviewed on 2020-11-28T21:03:47

Shipping is BRUTAL!!!!! Honestly, a $1.79 knob is $9.99 to ship. This is not a one off example.Stew-Mac has the highest most unfriendly shipping prices and policies in the entire guitar industry. It provides 0 support for end users and be prepared to be completely spammed once you are a customer. They profit so much from shipping under the guise of 'safe' packing. A box with a guitar nut wrapped in a paper is going to be pretty indestructible, even for 30% of the shipping cost. God what a hateful unfriendly group.
