I think that would qualify.

I have tried so many now...I'm used to paying up front and trying to forget about it until I get that wonderful e-mail saying "your guitar has shipped". I've had to wait anywhere from 3-7 months for each custom order.

I sometimes FRET over the wait, my anxiety level goes off the SCALE, I sometimes feel STRUNG along--it's all part of the song and dance. The bottom line is that I am grateful for having a custom musical instrument built just for me and the wait is really inconsequential.

Definitely too much time on your hands. Those were truly awful. Does your wife know you are on the forum again? Where's that nephew?

Mot;

My wife sanctions my forum time, though she does feel a bit sorry for the other forum members.

Ship date still slated for October 3rd; with luck I'll see it first on next week's shipping video.

Even though I may be gnashing my teeth as I type this, I want you to know in spirit I am happy that you will soon be united with your new guitar.

October 3rd has passed (almost) without a 'Something Special' email, or a shipping video.

They must be busy working on the October Select Series, or mot's long lost whatever it is, or someone else's skinny X10 latte.

I believe I'll have another beer.

(Sigh) Many of us here understand. Some of us even sympathize. And then... there are... the others.

Update: my guitar will ship on Monday. It’s caught in the Hiscox case delay. The shipping video is being shot this afternoon, so at least I should catch a glimpse of it before the weekend

Any particular Monday? I believe there may be several on my calendar, and some in the near future... if I remember correctly

Good to hear you have a commitment. Sounds like Emerald is shipping as necessary, rather than just once a week.

Hopefully that knowledge helps ease the agony. When my X10 was shipped last year around this time, it arrived at our local Post Office about 12:10 pm on the Saturday before Columbus Day (they close at noon)... which meant it sat in the local PO for 2 1/2 days. Not like I was anxious or anything, but I was waiting at our village mail boxes the following Tuesday for the Postal person. Amazingly, she had it in her van instead of leaving at the Post Office and putting a pick-up card in our mailbox.

Ohh... Columbus Day (or Indigenous People Day) is a week from your shipping Monday. What are the odds?

I trust Chloe's word implicitly
