I've heard several second hand stories of people dumpster diving and after some investment of time and money winding up with at worst, serviceable instruments. Any experience with that? I went in for the first time in years last week for rack screws and was surprised to see they no longer had an associate checking orders on the way out. Guitar tech I wound up bothering said, and it makes sense, that putting someone at the door was more expensive than the shrink.
