Parts, & Parts Suppliers

[David Schwab]

Mojo is in the process of phasing out Some of the pickup part selection.
Tell me again how the Wal-Mart Approach with less selection is going to Improve what we offer Our Customers.

David told me that no one is buying those parts, so they are phasing them out. Well, not no one, since they are phasing out some of the parts I use, but it seems I'm the only one buying them! They have the original stock from when they ordered them a few years ago.

So if we wanted them to keep those parts, we should have bought more of them.

So they can order you anything you want, as long as you meet the minimum order requirements.

But I agree, that it can't hurt keeping them in stock. But that's business.

Lol Terry...you got me feeling like I need to rant!

The internet has been great at finding parts for builders but since no place seems to be able to put together
an outfit that offers a great selection with fair pricing one ends up losing a lot from shipping charges. That's been
my experience anyway with 8+ guitar builds.

I like Mojo but it's silly for me not to get the pup parts from......a place that also has a pretty good selection of all the
materials for a build. Saving pennies if I can at Mojo when I loose dollars in shipping...can't work that way.

So from my chair if they addressed what issues you've mentioned it wouldn't matter to me....and other places all have their weirdness too.
I mean if were going to sell knobs I'd sell every knob you can imagine in any color they were made in. Why mess with them if you can't do it up right?

And why none of the places that I'm aware of don't carry every pickup part that they can makes no sense. Why do anything
half-assed? Maybe they can't do it "right"...I don't know but whatever the reasons it leaves this customer thinking they don't have their act together...and I
don't like thinking that way- but they caused it, not me.

Well good luck to them all because I've become to old to show them how or even really care....just felt like ending the work week with a rant...and I credit you Terry for that LOL.

Just Don't forget the Little Guys!
You have been making lots of changes this year.
One thing I don't care for is the group packaging your doing.
I used to buy rod magnets by the piece, now you have to buy 6 of each size.
Same with Strat plastic knobs.
I used to buy several different colors in difference sizes.
I bought them in 3s, of each color, one volume, and 2 tone.
Now you have to buy 2 volume knobs of each color.
So if you buy 2 tone knobs, and 2 Vol. knobs, you have the Bastard Vol. knob leftover.
Why do you need an extra volume knob, Also Everything seems to be going up in price.
Tubes alone, went up about a third this year.
Wages don't seem to be going up, but your prices sure are.
Also if you would quit redesigning your web site every other week, maybe you could keep your prices lower.
That is my Rant for the Day.

We need a thread up here about Mojo.
I noticed all the stuff on clearance.

Time for more suppliers.
Things were much better Last year.
There was more selection and better service.
Still looks like Mojo wants less Pickup competition with the Mojo Pickup line.
That's my 2 Cents.
Feel free to Discuss away!

Sam's choice pickups! LOL! Seriously, we aren't going to cut parts that people are buying. We are simply going to up the quantities on these parts and phase out the dead weight. I have added a ton of new parts this year that are selling very well for us. Far more than we are actually cutting or discontinuing. I hope this helps!

I grabbed some of the Champion Lap Steel flatwork that's on the way out.

Hopefully they won't get carried away deleting items.
It's the off norm stuff that is harder to find.
