Re: Custom Wegen TF140
I'm happy that you had a good experience with Michel Wegen. I wish I could say that my experience was as good, but unfortunately it wasn't. When I contacted him several years ago, also about ordering a custom pick, it took 3 emails over a period of four weeks before I received any response at all. When I asked why he hadn't answered my emails his response to me was very nasty. Basically told me that he was very busy and he didn't have time to respond to every email. Strange way to do business, I think. I eventually did order a custom pick through Janet Davis Music and it took 7 weeks to get it. And he doubled the price, even though I ordered the picks with no bevel and no grip holes, eliminating two steps of the process. It was a excellent pick and I am happy that I bought it, but I will never deal directly with him again.
I've heard of a couple other people who have had a bad experience with him. But, like I said, I'm very happy that your experience was a good one.
