Yes, I think without the ampersand if I read you correctly.

100%. I have a custom guitar that never comes out of the case because of this.

I think if the build list is long some clients will offer extra money to get to the front, or move up in line. It is understandable for the builder when trying to make a living, and would come under the category of "special projects". In any event, I doubt anybody is so bad at estimating wait times that many many months are added without something else going on
I once had a build delayed so long I did not really car about getting the guitar anymore. |

I've probably been living under a rock, but is this actually "a thing?" (Both in terms of it being a practice AND general sentiment that it is an acceptable way to operate from either side of the transaction) |

It seems to be with my luthier, who posts beautiful guitars on Instagram at the same time that he tells me he is delayed by more than two years, or 5&1/2 years from the deposit…we’ll see…

So which luthiers have the longest waitlists? Are some of these luthiers located in countries outside of the USA?

I meant to say I understand it probably happens, and why. And yes, not acceptable from a client's point of view.
