Dear all, I am writing to ask advice on some issues that have arisen since I had a guitar in for modification with an independent “specialist” or luthier. The guitar came back with a variety of issues and the job was clearly not performed correctly on closer inspection. The issues that have arisen are due to poor workmanship, lack of attention to detail and general negligence. The guitar was worth around £1700 but has had its value significantly reduced due to the luthiers' poor workmanship. It will cost quite a bit to get it put right – potentially a very big job. I now need to either: Get the guitar in proper order, be adequately compensated for the loss in value or receive a new guitar. Thus far I have managed to cancel the cheque for £150 that I made as payment for the work. I would not consider giving him the guitar back to try and correct his mistakes. I wrote the cheque because I had not had chance to take a close look at the guitar which revealed many issues. Do I need to see a solicitor? The person is operating from home under a company name and was recommended to me. I would be very grateful for any advice I could receive on how to proceed with this matter. Thank you.
