They should or maybe 15 days later max. We've brought assembly and setup in house now in order to get delivery times under control.

I live in Malaysia and I'll be in the US next month, where will it be a more convenient location to order an OF660 from?

Default Lost patience long, long ago!

I understand the "why" behind these interminable delays. This is not a criticism of the manufacturer or the dealers. Having said that, however, I want to go on record as someone who long ago lost patience, recouped a deposit, and bought a different CF guitar. Anyone else out there with a similar experience?

Hi C Flat,

Could you tell me where you'll be in the US and I can see if we can send a guitar to a nearby dealer for you to test drive a model? Also, we do have a dealer in Singapore, just in case all the current models are all reserved.

Warm regards,

Rob

Hello Rob,
I'll be in New Jersey mid to end October.
Any differences in price between US and Singapore?

I had one on order but asked for my money back as well. Not the dealer's fault at all. They were just waiting on Journey.

I believe Singapore and HK have a slight price premium compared to the US. Asset bubbles tend to trickle down and result in higher retail product prices.
