I hate to make this my first post but this stuff drives me nuts, both the techs and the people who try to make excuses for them.
He's not a good guy. Good guys care about their customers. Good guys dont just think about themselves. Good guys are up front and communicate honestly. Good guys don't take money up front when there are no up front costs (like a guitar or amp builder).
A year is a long time and there's no reason to have your guitar sitting in his shop collecting dust. It should be sitting in your house collecting dust until he's ready to pay it some attention.
Best care scenerio = he cannot run his business and Has no respect for his clients
Worst case scenerio = you're being ripped off

Great forum btw, discovered it while doing some acoustic research. I'm an active member over at the gear page
