Greetings from Japan

??????Whoa????. Thats strange.

[Sam Lee Guy]

Sounded promising, but count me out. If someone can't answer emails about the parts he'll be selling and wants orders without knowing the prices or specifications of the parts, who knows what you'll get, if anything. What would be special about these parts over, say, Allparts?

[Stan H]

They ALL sound promising...so far nobody has come through

Ideally- this guy is going to get an idea of a bulk order quantity from woo sung tell you he has the parts and wait for the money to arrive befor he orders. Strange he has not provided any photos??? or Prices. He should know this immediately...

[Dave Kerr]

I wouldn't dismiss the guy out of hand, maybe something's been lost in the translation and he's just trying to get a handle on what kind of recurring volume he can expect. Wolfe seems the type who's particular about the material he uses, his vouch should count for something.

[dai h.]

so he is saying he'll have pictures and prices by the end of next week latest, then the week after that on monday he can start accepting orders

[madialex]

Yep, If Wolfe says he's a good guy then I tend to believe him, but then again, ya never know.

I too want a price list and at least some word of quality, maybe Wolfe has had some of his parts and can elaborate more??? Maybe??

I'm willing to buy samples and give the benefit of the doubt here. There aren't many consistently reliable sources for what we do. A new one would be a boon and more than welcome.

+ 1 ....samples, price list, and pics would be nice right now. I am not willing to shell out a bunch of money until I feel comfortable that he'll come through. And he shouldn't expect to get rich right away either selling to us. It takes time to build relationships and to tweak the quality of the parts that he carries.

[NightWinder]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not discrediting Montro just stating the obvious misalignment of prices first and formost and material build. Pictures are secondary really- A true bonus. I don't honestly think they are nessisary at all, and would assume he knows his material. Just the pricing thing kinda puts it out a little......

[Sam Lee Guy]

Of course I trust Wolfe's opinion but I got the impression that he is selling pickups to this guy in Japan, rather than buying parts from him, but time will tell. If superior parts appear, then that's great.

Reread Wolfe's post in the other thread, and it does seem you're correct (as usual)

[madialex]

All I can say at this point is Hmmmmmmm

[Spence]

I've sent several emails to Montreaux. The one he did answer suggested I placed my order.

Well, I haven't got an order.

My second email detailing what I would require, (I'm talking about vintage correct details), has gone un-answered.

I get better service than that from Guitar Jones.

We've all been down this road so many times and for what?

[kevinT]

"Where's the beef?"

"Show me the money..."

....what else can one say?

I guess people get some kind of thrill hyping up folks and then letting them down....For example....these names come to mind....Zamm, Doctor X....and the list goes on.....

All i have to say is...if you can't walk the walk....then sit your ass down and shut up.
