Hi folks,

I've got a separate thread going in the 'Ask Mike' section of the forum regarding a custom shop order I put in a year ago and am hoping he can track it down (order number is GBI11-27 on the off chance you're reading this, Mike).

I'm based in London and was wondering if anyone else on here has had to wait over a year for their team built order?

Just wondering if this kind of wait is par for the course these days?

Thanks

F

Hey fred81, I checked out your other post on the ME forum. It appears you placed your order with Peter Crooks Guitar World in the UK. If so, for them to order you guitar they would have had to have their rep contact the FCS to place the order. That rep, whoever it was, should be able to get that info for you. If not, somethings seriously wrong. Not trying to be an azz or anything, just that if the shop where you ordered your guitar is not able to give you this info then I would question that. Regardless, I hope you get your answer soon as I know from personal experience that a wait on a Custom Shop guitar is very tedious.

Hey,

Yeah, the shop have had replies from the rep a couple of times but on each occassion the rep has given an estimated arrival time that has come and gone. I trust the shop completely; I've bought every single guitar I've owned through them (amps too) and they're an authorised dealer. So I'm not massively worried. I just wanted to know if this happened a lot because I've seen that one-year plus is more a masterbuilt timescale.

I ordered a team built from Coda Music last July and was told it would be six months. It was delivered at the beginning of February, so it was pretty close.
However, your wait of a year seems longer than it should be, unless you spec'd something unusual that would add to the production time.

I agree though that waiting gets pretty boring! Then one day, you get a call from the dealer, and the wait is forgotten! :)

In 2009 I only had to wait 2,5 month for a Team-Built 57 PBass (the Bass was quoted 6-8) now I'm waiting since 8/9 month for my new Team-Built PBass including beeing told two times by my CS dealer this year (they got their info from Fender) that my Bass should come at a specific month/amount of weeks - nothing had happened :)

Looks like it really does vary and I'll just have to wait. I don't know whether orders from overseas generally take longer but a year go I really didn't expect to be on this forum today asking where my Fender is :) ??

The order is for a telecaster but with a U-shaped AA birdseye neck and a humbucker. Other than those quriks, it's pretty standard.

The wait goes on...
