Technically this guitar was not custom order. It was actually one of their in-stock instruments. Which is why the OP was able to get it within a week or so of ordering.

I like Emerald, I have a custom on order with Emerald, as for this guitar:

--The Fretwork is horrible for a new guitar. Really no excuse for it. A $200 Pac Rim import has better finished frets.

--The uneven side markers? How this happens on a $3000 guitar is unimaginable?

I can understand the squared off trim of the veneer. I'm sure it's laser cut to size/shape. Not sure about the divot in the fretboard. Again. This shouldn't happen on a $300 guitar much less a $3000 one.
