Im sorry to hear about your experience but some companies are different then others.. TCSS has never had an issue over year and years (and we all pray for years to come) Please dont let it turn you off from the community at large (its mostly just good natured guys) but yeah.. the darkside is out there.. waiting to absorb your money into the fold and ignore you.
Its no place of mine to say left or right whats best for you... My advice.. Dont flame over ebay, who cares (and who will actually win).. IF it didnt specify with sound holes AND he will not respond to your plea's to sell you the correct part (not replace it for free)... Just let it be. Resell it as brand new and move on to the wonderful (and safe) possibilities MHS gives, as well as the comfort and support here in the TCSS forum world...
They dont always "sugar coat it" as some may like, but its accuracy is never in question so your build quality will benefit from the tutorials and techniques here. (Some of the saber legends are proud to speak of thier tcss roots!)
Honestly the shiney websites and over the top photoshop skills of some of the "bigger" companies (like SF or US) leaves a pretty large gap between what you initially See... and what is eventually/hopefully delivered.. The horror stories of wrong color this, and hot glue that.. are always swept under the rug. Its true and its sad to say.. "the darkside is all to real"
Only trust what you know (Never some young, overly excited, squeky kid on youtube who's basically getting paid in promotion discounts to leave good review's..).. The TCSS gallery and forums is tons of customer quality reviews.. Years of improvements and refinements by Tim.. Tons of new parts.. It's all here.. Documented for years.
TCSS does cool sales (like happy may 4th be with you).. BUT (as far as I've ever known) TCSS NEVER PAYS FOR REVIEWS.. that's just kinda almost dirty in my mind so no wonder everyone says how "awesome" they are.... (not your fault)
Resell it my friend (or be stuck with it)... What's your option if it has another more serious issue sometime down the road when its still under its "warrenty"... Are You willing to ship it in and wait for it to come back? (and play email and tracking # tag, Again)..
Im just saying 20min in the MHS builder and a well though out email to Tim explaining any requested customizations in detail can produce..... Mmmmm Smexy!
