Default Journey Instruments OF660

Anyone have any insight on when these carbon fiber beauties will actually start showing up at dealers?

Default Journey's journey

I heard on the 16th that they would arrive in a week or so. But I've heard that before. Actually, I have been hearing that for a year and a half. I gather there have been production problems and the company does not want to let any go that they are not satisfied with.

At any rate, it can't be too much longer.

Thanks for the update/response! Hopefully we'll hear something definitive in the next few weeks.

howdy all!

We actually shipped the first small batch of guitars last week and they've been setup by our Austin TX luthier (who wanted to buy one immediately after finishing the setup . These few are already sold, but you should see a few reviews on the web. We're in production on the second lot and will be shipping again around 30-40 days from now, after which our line should be full line leveling to meet demand. These things sound really phenomenal for the size.

Great news! Many people are looking forward to seeing and hearing these and especially reading first hand reviews. Can't wait.

Hoping also that all the manufacturing details are now solid so that production can ramp up. Thank you for the update.

Excellent news! Can't wait to pick on up. I work on an Oil Rig so these are about the perfect guitar for my situation.

Sanjuro, just wanted to say how much I loved your movie, and its predecessor, Yojimbo! Absolutely classic moment when you snatched that fly out of the air with chopsticks!
