I made the order today! '61 fiesta red strat w/ HW Abbys! :D :D :D

I decided to go with Kruase - the masterbuilder to the stars! 8) I almost wonder if having him I should have ordered a '57... I'll save that for next time maybe. :lol:

They said 24 months out. So I assume that he is backordered and some time around 18 months from now I will hear that he has started working on the guitar - and six months later it will be delivered. :o Good thing I have these other great custom shops to play in the mean time! :twisted:

I am sure most of us would like to have a ‘near guaranteed’ job for three years. That’s amazing. I wonder how tempted the CS is to ‘increase production’. It must be tough to resist the CBS thinking that Mike has mentioned in the past. Is there a specific reason you need this MB to do this? I know some have specialties etc.

Also I was wondering, since ‘relicing’ is such an art, do TB take references to approximate a particular look or is that something only that an MB can do. By this I mean colour-vibe etc.

Thats fine. It will give me time to enjoy what I have and maybe buy a les paul. I really want a '54 black beauty w/ the alnico 5 and p90!

Ordered it from sweetwater.

Its a real basic order. I went vintage correct with this except for a 5 way switch. I've been playing some Jimi lately and that 2nd position pops out on occasion. I wish I knew more about the options when brazilian was available. I'd really like to have it as close as possible to a real '61. I'll just have to tell myself that Leo ran out of Brazilian and sub'd for dark indian RW on mine.

I've got a '57 w/ HW Abbys and a '69 w/ HW Abbys. I really needed an early '60s w/ HW Abbys to finish it off! Too bad the '54 MB doesn't have HW Abbys...

Congrats my man!

I went with a 1968 TK last month and my dealer had told me 2 years as well :lol:

The wait is well worth it

My suggestion...live your life, put it on a back burner and fuggeddaboudit, otherwise you'll go nuts. Waited for a factory built guitar last year and 18 mos for a CS Teambuilt about 7 years ago. All best wishes. We look forward to seeing the results.
P.S. To any one out there contemplating an order....think Paul Waller. :idea: :wink:

I will be interested to see when we get our guitars. I ordered mine in April, it may have taken time for the UK fender rep to have rowed across the pond but we should keep in touch.

I just hope Fender aren't tempted to get someone in 'to help'. It has to Be TK's work :D :D

Since this is a 3 year wait I am thinking about ordering a '57 Yuri since he is only 12 months out (Mike would you confirm that? Thanks!)

Trying to get these last orders in before Abby anounces retirement!

Then the oddball year I could get my les paul custom!

I feel like you guys have helped me kind of create a goal for my collection - re the other thread! I've narrowed down my wants and they are few - for now. heeheheh.
