Ordering an electric guitar online will usually lead to a nervy few days at the best of times, but when this metal fan’s swanky new Jackson guitar failed to turn up after three weeks and threatened to completely disappear without a trace, he began to fear the worst.
Thankfully, the guitar didn’t completely drop off the face of the Earth; it had just been delivered to the wrong person: Jim Root of Slipknot In a now-deleted Reddit post (reported by MusicRadar), the guitar fan in question explained he had ordered a Jackson for his birthday way back in January, but when the parcel first turned up, it was missing a key piece of the package: the guitar itself.
Instead, the guitarist – who lives in Qatar and works on the US Air Base – received an empty foam flight case.
"I contacted my sales rep and I got a semi-canned response, ‘Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience,' with the added checking with the warehouse and shipping departments to try and figure out where the guitar is,” he wrote. “Now I am impatiently awaiting a tracking number or word of where the guitar is.”The six-string went walkabout after the USPS tracking number went dead, and the prospective Jackson owner was resigned to the fact he’d have to wait for another to come in stock. That was, however, until he was informed of what had actually happened to his original instrument.
