Over a year ago Wiens promised to settle my dispute with him in wriiting here on the Cafe. Thus far nothing has been done. No contact from him. No updates. No nothing. He still has had use of the...

Dan, I sent you one back.

<Poster needs to let the Moderators do the Moderating>

GRP,

It is a necessary public flogging.

Wiens was thrusted into builder stardom by the huge amounts of public praise given to him by a very respected poster on the Cafe. After what I and...

In that picture I count what, 11 or 12 unfinished mandos? That's an awful lot of spent deposit money sitting there, on both sides.

Something to consider. Will any of those mandos appear on the...

This one?

Hi Hank,

When no other viable option presented itself.

It’s really amazing to me to see folks try and justify breach of contract due to artist privilege. I admire those Wiens supporters who continually run that out there time after time. Your devotion...

Hi Gary,

I agree problems arise with best of builders. That's where a solid warranty service comes in. Wiens it seems is lacking in that area, which is really no surprise. The very idea of a...

I wish to express my thanks to the Mandolin Café for allowing the story to be told and this thread to be opened for discussion. Wiens needed to be exposed so that others could weigh the pros and...

Jamie Wiens labled as a "Poster Child" for being unscrupulous.

Check it out.

After reading several uncomplimentary comments on the cafe forum (do a search), seems Mr. Weins has issues when it comes to customer service, meeting promised build times and one has to wonder about...

It's really unfortunate that the builder wasn't named back in 2007. Instead it comes out in 2009 on a thread about a Wiens mandolin in 2009. I think the having the information sooner than later...

Now this is really interesting. Below are quotes from Deep Mountain in a more current thread titled Wiens #24. http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52928&highlight=wiens

[Jamie, I´m sure you are aware of "the other" thread on here. A couple of questions asket there were: What caused the "delay" in your mando output in the last couple of years. Are you building full...

From grassrootphilosopher

"MandoCowboy,
as I know it, it is a well documented practice for a builder to get buyers on a waiting list with a certain "downpayment". When the buyer does not pick up...

Weins website says he's no longer taking orders, but you can give him $250 non-refundable to get on a list for a chance to buy one.

That is really strange.

What does that really mean?

I thought I'd get more play from my request for a Weins Mando role call.

Strange how a builder has built only 3 mandos in the last 3 years. Maybe that's the reason.

There appears to be a high...

Yonkle,

Do you own a Wiens Mando?

Time for a Weins mandolin role call. Who has one and who has one on order?
