Waiting Time

[Seryaph]

How, in the name of all that is holy, do you guys manage the waiting time between when you place the order and those beautiful brown boxes arrive at your front door?

I just placed my first warmoth order today and I am going stir crazy . . .

We do not manage very well. We will be doing the must disturbing things ...

But it is against forum regulations to tell.

It's frustrating. The way I look at it is if I wanted a bog standard cookie-cutter production unit like the majors turn out hundreds of per day, I could have it pretty fast. But, I have higher standards than they do. Use the time to practice your chops so when the fine instrument is ready, you can do it proud.

I started emailing vendors and luthiers last September, and had been planning and performing research since October of 2009.

Compared to how long it's been since I conceived of building a Warmoth-based guitar, the few weeks between ordering and receiving their parts were child's play.

The worst part has been the wait since all the major elements were there, with but a few odds-and-ends here and there, and then the time for assembly.

My complete guitar arrives on Monday, and even then there are a few things to tweak.  And then on top of that, I haven't played guitar much in the past two years.

It's been simply awful :doh: but I know from experience that the patience pays off.  :icon_smile:

Stagger your builds.
While you're waiting on one build, be building another.
