Update on my second order. Sitting at 115 days (16 and a half weeks) and still waiting. I think anyone currently getting paint should be looking at twice the lead time to normal. (8 to 16 weeks). I ordered the two guitars about 1 month apart, and they've both been more than 16 weeks. seems...

Alright! So after a small days work I have finished working in the control cavity. First time ever soldering so, don't mind the singed wires. I sliced out some extra space on either side of the blades route. Needed about a 1/16th on each side and that did the trick. Now to wait on my tuners.

It does have a drop in the wood to thin it out for the switch, strange that it would need even more? I got a fender blade switch, if that doesn't work I think the CNC design will need to be changed considering this is a fender replacement body. Thanks for the heads up though, if that ends up...

Just got the body and neck today and started to build! And... So many problems. The biggest one currently being that the 5 way selector switch doesn't work with the body. The switch's depth is too deep and sticks out from the cavity, and blades switch range is too wide so bridge and neck only...

Finally got the notification!!!! 124 days, or 17 weeks 5 days. Time to buy tuners and new strings!

Absolutely do a video on it. Fret end dressing is super tricky for me to get down. I can knock the edges down by wrapping my finger in sand paper and running it up and down the ends to "naturally" knock them down. It gets the job done pretty well since it's basically putting 20 years of playing...

Note to self, get a new bit and steel hardened screws because a painted rear of headstock isn't going to like a plain dowel shoved into it lol. Honestly was trying to find a way to properly align them, I like that low tac tap method. Side Note (Sorry for hijacking your post op): How the hell...

Man where were you when i got those things from amazon. Yea that last 1/4 turn is murder. Right now I am going to put in brass inserts into a pilot hole and use machine screws to go into the inserts. Overkill? YUP, but it feels nice to work on things lol

For custom stuff like this it's always best to email customer service. They have a lot of off the site options and might be able to work with you on something.

Ask and you shall, well get something at least! I'm hoping my V gets here quick compared to the 17 week order its way simpler. Neck: Figured ziricote on wenge VS Ebony on Maple with painted back and peg face. Body: Bound Carved Black Korina Soloist with burst over on alder VS full mahogany V...

Depends on a lot of things: What neck wood? What fretboard wood? Bound? Inlay type? What body type? Chambered? Does it have a top? Is that bound? Is it double bound? Etc You could be waiting on wood to come in, you could be waiting on the binding team, you could be waiting for a lot of...

You sure you're not just playing an anorexic bass? lol :icon_biggrin: Look, maybe with a 25.5 you'd need a 74 but don't count on needing it with a baritone neck, those are specifically made to give you more tension with lower gauges. Here's my recommendation, most tuning pegs use the same size...

No shipping notification so officially on my 118th day. if they don't ship tomorrow I will be at 121 days or 17 weeks since my order. I totally get you, and I am  sad that I'm starting to push my 5th month since the order was placed but there isn't anything we can do about it. I have inquired...

Awesome!  :headbanging: Just as a heads up though Canadian import taxes are going to hit you pretty hard. Take this with a grain of salt, since I'm from US, but UPS will pass the import tax to the customer on the other end. So they may require you to pay them before completing the delivery,

If the masking is as difficult to do as normal binding, yea you're looking at about 16 weeks. Ordered mine (binding) on march 20th, 16th week will be next monday. No emails yet, from either ups or usps.
