Hey everyone,
You may remember a post some time ago in the off-topic section regarding legal advice due to someone ripping me off. Well, after giving it some time, I've decided to come out with the scammer so others don't fall in his trap.
It's Jon Harper from Harpers Guitars. This is over a
guitar body I ordered. In August of 2001 I gave him $300 plus I shipped the following parts:
Custom guitar neck ($800)
Sustainiac Pickup ($200)
Gold lo-pro edge and gold hardware (about $300)
Other various hardware for the body ($20)
So now I'm out $1620. All this because of false promises and continuous 'oh I have family issues' or 'oh I have health problems'. I told him then not to build the body, simply return my parts and money and he has not. I gave him that option in March 2002 after waiting 6 months. He keeps telling me that he'll have a tracking number to me on this day or that day and never has he come through on his offer. I have all my e-mails a proof of how many times he's done this.
Now, I have trusted this guy for years. He built me that custom neck you might have seen in other posts. His craftsmanship is excellent, don't get me wrong.
I have already filed a BBB complaint against him and apparently I'm not the only one. Check out

So, take my advice - TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!
