TMG Guitars, Tim Mc Grath
Guitarras de un Ingles, que se hace pasar por Australiano, chef que ha trabajado para celebridades, es empresario que lleva comediantes a shows y nunca llegan a la function, ya fue arrestado en UK por hacer autografos falsos en las guitarras. Parece una cancion de Jorge Drexler pero no.
Y es un monta kits de fender, y la peña le estaba pagando $4,000 dolares o mas por un kit, los endorsers Jimmy Barnes, Phil Immanuel, Nigel Hendroff y con eso fue suficiente para que todos cayeran. Estaba hacienda sus pinturas relic en MJT y luego las revendia.
Lo agarraron cuando vendia los pedales TMG DRHIVE pedal, David Ryan Harris' new signature pedal, el problema es un capacitor que hacia pop al conectarlo al pedalboard, y el prometio reemplazarlos y ahi viene su debacle.
Cuando aprendera la peña?

"I do NOT use cheap All-Parts necks or bodies! this I promise you! All my wood work is custom made by friends of mine. I am always here when its made so I can control EVERYTHING! We finish everything ourself, fret all the necks ourself and put that finishing touch on EVERYTHING we do! Nothing leaves the workshop until I say so. Our pickups are custom designed by a very special guy and they are a knock out! -Taylor"

- He goes by multiple names
- He has been called a scammer on multiple sites, well before this thread, and his multiple eBay accounts used to sell dodgy guitars (at least one with a fake autograph) got him arrested in the UK.
- He was arrested in relation to promising he'd deliver celebrity comedians to some venue - they never appeared
- He sold dozens of broken pedals and strung on many people who wanted them fixed
- He has taken numerous deposits and not shipped anything in multiple cases
- He claimed that his pie restaurant had signed a deal with a major sport stadium in the UK, and would create hundreds of jobs. Not true.
- He's told people he's Australian
- He has also claimed he's worked in multiple Michelin Star restaurants and worked for two celebrity chefs. No evidence provided - anyone believe it's true anymore?
- People claim he's simply buying parts, putting them together and charging through the nose. It's also been claimed the electronics used are dodgy and even that he's using Chinese knock-off pickups
"We are based in Sydney, I have a workshop here & also in the states"
" I am always here when it's made so I can control everything" (so he's on both continents at the same time for each build?)
"I'm in the states now & building with some great friends....) So, which is it? "here in Sydney" or "I'm in the states now..."?
Some guy from England started up a "pie and mash" shop and ripped a bunch of people off, then went to Australia and started a "custom" guitar company (TMG Guitars). Got popular with the P&W scene and sold a lot of $5000+ tele/strat clones. Started selling $300 pedals. Took 3x the amount of time quoted to deliver most stuff. Moved to California. Continued with not delivering on time (if at all). Turns out a string of people on three continents claim to have been ripped off by this guy (paid, but did not get anything; or got sub-quality product). Then it comes out the that the fully custom guitars are actually partscasters, and they don't really do anything but assemble from cheap C&C bodies/necks and Chinese no-name pickups. And all under the guise of being a friend of Jesus.
