I’m in the same boat. My order also involved a roasted maple neck and flame maple top on the body. Blocks, binding, paint, clear, the works, etc. I’m wondering if that’s been a bit of the hold up? Maybe the maple was being sourced. My order date was 3/22. I emailed last week and was told “your order is progressing as normal.” That’s it. Whatever that means lol.

What paint job did you get, and did your order have binding on it?

Daphne blue, no binding, so almost as simple as it gets. I’m sure that helped.

Again, Similar build here...
Flame maple Choice top on a swamp ash body. BOY Burst with cream binding, gloss.
Roasted flame maple neck with ebony board, cream binding, and gold Pearl blocks. Gloss coat.
So, a lot going on there. It doesn’t surprise me at all that my order is taking longer than most. And like you, I’m very much hoping that it’s as stunning looking as I have pictured it in my head. But with these involved builds, I’m glad they’re taking extra care and time to make it just right.

For anyone waiting on a body- The Warmoth IG has some beautiful eye candy today. Maybe 100 bodies waiting for paint/finish. Is yours there? I think I saw mine. Happy zooming!
*Today 6/8 is Week 11, for reference.

Showcase body, no paint no work. Just print a label and drop it in a box. Website said 5-6 days but I'm not sure that still applies.

9 weeks in here for unfinished neck and carved/bound lam top with satin finish. Had to call Warmoth a few days ago for a different question and sounds like my order has 2-4 weeks left. Curse my elaborate tastes!
What are you guys doing in the meantime? Yesterday I soldered ground connections on my pots in anticipation and just to do something proactive for the build.

W.O.W. I won't say more lest it seem like gloating. Maybe I should send donuts

I’m 13.5 weeks in on mine, and I was told “1.5 - 2 weeks”…3 weeks ago. So…I’d add some time to whatever they say it is going to be. I thought their shipping estimates would become more accurate as it approached the end of the process, but that theory was incorrect.

Many years ago there was one about three miles down the road from us. It was the only one anywhere.
I remember it was a badge of honor to show up to some function with boxes of Krispy Kreme, and talk about how long the line was. The convo usually went something like:
"Wow....Krispy Kreme! Hey everybody, Sid brought Krispy Kreme!"
Sid (thumping chest): "Ya, the line was six miles long, and took three days."
It's a Panera now, I think.
Soup anyone?

Dad used to tell a joke about this guy who prayed 'Lord, if I should stop and get donuts, please let the 'HOT' light be on when I get there. And sure enough, the sixth time around the parking lot, there it was!
