Guitar turned up yesterday complete with cable and stand.  I duplicated the cable from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.piedog.com\">Piedog<\/a> order as I suspected they would cock it up once again and I didn&#8217;t want to be left with a guitar and amp but with nothing to connect them together.  True to form, it&#8217;s now 1138 on Friday morning and Piedog&#8217;s order still hasn&#8217;t arrived.  Tried phoning them but it&#8217;s back to the permanent engaged tone this morning.  Little wonder if all their customers have the same trouble as I am.  It&#8217;s annoying as I need the tuner off that order and I&#8217;m also using a chunk cut out of an old credit card for a plectrum.  Not ideal.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hi<\/p>\n<p>Your order was dispatched out from our warehouse on the 17\/01\/06 if you have still not received it then contact me 08456012078 and i will chase it up for you.<\/p>\n<p>Kind Regards<br \/>\nEmma<br \/>\nPiedog.com\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Moving on to the guitar, it&#8217;s great, even if I can&#8217;t do much with it yet.  So far I&#8217;ve managed to perform the technical aspects of three chords.  A, D and E major.  Not remotely fluid at moving between them yet though, I&#8217;m hoping that will be todays challenge.  Bit painful on the fingers at the moment.  I get a tingle in the tips of my left hand just typing this.  That should ease once I get some hard pads on the ends of my fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Just tried to call <a href=\"http:\/\/www.piedog.com\">Piedog<\/a> again.  Still engaged.  <em>Sigh<\/em>.  The girl called Emma who answers the phone is always so polite, it&#8217;s hard to blow my stack at the sheer incompetance of it all.  Maybe my order will make it this afternoon before I leave for Lou&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iMuso manages next day delivery<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guitar","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.stmellion.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
