It’s done!
My Amicus is ready - got the ransom note this morning.
And, to my delight, it’s in this week’s shipping video, about 10 minutes in. https://youtu.be/2Pu3Skhte2o Really pleased with the way it looks - can’t wait to get my hands on it. Also, our own EvanB gets a nice shout-out a bit earlier in the video

Very cool. I did a double take when I saw the 11/06/2021 date stamp, but I'm guessing that means June 11, 2021 and not November 6, 2021....

You’re correct - the date flip always gives me pause, even though I grew up with day/month/year.

David;
Very nice! I like the new presentation of the carbon fiber--it's a good look. Looks like years of pleasure to me. Congratulations on your new baby. |

For anyone who’s wondering, this was 6 weeks 4 days from order to ready - quickest one yet for me.

Cool instrument David- I bet you will love it! Here is to hoping you get to some in person jams. The Amicus sounds fabulous with other guitars.

Congrats, David! What a fine little instrument! A very nice variety of guitars this week.
Nice shout out to Evan for inspiring the thin-body X10.

I can see the X10 Slim with two humbuckers, and a Ghost piezo. That would make a cracking acoustic-electric, rather like some of the instruments Carvin used to produce. But better

Great to hear that it's arrived David!
Indeed. Currently, more than 7 billion people in about 190 countries use day-month-year or year-month-day. Only 0.35 billion in about 5 countries use month-day-year. It makes dates on this forum (for example) difficult for most people to read and leads to ambiguities, but we get used to it.

In other news, it appears to be on its way. I got a ship notice and tracking number direct from UPS this morning. Let the waiting game begin. Again

My scheduled delivery date, according to UPS, is this Thursday, June 17th. I don’t believe that for a minute
