BUYES BEWARE!!!!

I just want to warn you all of a man who claims to make these great Prince Cloud and Symbol guitars but actually takes your money and you never hear from him again. Who is this guy you might ask?
SCOTT ANDERSON!!! Yes people!! He claimed that he would make my guitar for me, but instead he has been ignoring me and hasn't returned emails, voice grams, absolutely nothing!! After he emailed me over 20 times making sure that I was going to send the payment, once I sent him $1,250 (which is half of what the guitar costs) I never heard from him again...well only once after I threatened to contact the authorities...he asked what color do I want my Symbol guitar to be. But since then...nothing.

I tried to explain to him that I'm only a 23 yr. old guy who really had to work hard to get that money. I have been emailing him back and forth since I have been about 17 yrs old expressing my interest in getting a guitar built from him.

So take it from me...if you like your money that you work so hard for...and if you really want a Prince Symbol or Cloud Guitar made for you and you actually get pics of the entire process and you actually get the guitar at the end? Go to STEPHANE!!! THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. 4GET ABOUT SCOTT ANDERSON AND HIS LIES!!!

So I lost $1,250. Don't you do the same! Go to Stephane!!!

Some of you know Stephane as LEON. This guy is the best!! Ask him for some pics of his work!! You'll agree that "he" knows what he's doing!!

Thanks Stephane (LEON) for your great work and for cleaning up the mess that SCOTT ANDERSON made.

You guys can check out Scott Anderson's site here www.geocities.com/prince_guitars He has had those same pics up for a long time and will not show recent pics of his work. Con-artist.

Can the law do something about it even though he's in a whole different country?

yeah i did but they said that there wasn't much they could do being that he was overseas. I explained 2 them that I have his address and banking info 2, but they still informed me that there was little they could do. Any suggestions of what step I should take next...if any at all??

Is this Scotty2funky? Interesting. He won the white Cloud that was given away at the last Celebration.

nope, sent a wire through my bank. I tried to see if the police could trace the wire but as of now...no luck. He emailed me all of the sudden yesterday, telling me not to worry and that my guitar is still underway after 2 1/2 months of no contact!! He really must not realize that I just sent him $1,250 of hard earned money!!! mad

Let us know how it turns out. What color were/are you having him paint it? Whammy bar or fixed bridge? Active EMGs?

So a guy you've never met, have no proof of honesty, don't know his full contact details, and could be anyone, you wired $1,250 to with no backup protection such as a credit card or paypal ?

When you contacted the police, did they call you "Mr Sucker" ? eek

Well, I was going to and still am hoping he is going to paint it Black with the gold glitter all over it, fixed bridge, EMG pickups, u know...da' works!! As for the last comment, yeah...I bet the police officer laughed at me once we got off the phone. But hey, you live and you learn. I'm just kind of upset I had to learn such a costly lesson!!
