I know that each masterbuilder has their own waiting list.

Is anyone able to share the current waiting times for any of the masterbuilders?

From what I understand Todd Krause is about 3 years right now.

That's the only one I know atm.

If you follow Fender carefully you'll come to realize that these people are involved in much more than just building guitars for the average consumer. They're doing artist orders, and special projects such as NAMM, and where Krause was concerned recently, building 50 Brownie Replicas, the wait can be expected.

I've already been through that once, about 8-9 years ago. I waited a year for a 'teambuilt' instrument and had to send it back because they did not get the neck right. Waited another 6 mos and it still wasn't exactly the way I wanted it. i didn't have the patience to sent it back again. That was before the Forums. I learned a lot here and, under the same circumstances, that guitar would have come through perfectly the first time. On that basis, and twenty years younger, I'd place an order for a TK build because I prefer Clapton necks and I'm sure he'd get it right, but not now. Priorities have changed. If a dealer hung one of his on the on the wall and I liked it, perhaps. But a custom build order now....UFFF!!!!

I couldn't imagin waiting 3 yrs and it not be right then have to send it back and wait more. I'm sure that the chances are slim that something like that would happen but it's not impossible.

Definitely. There have been some problems discussed in these pages.

So Dennis Galuszka is about 11 months.

Anyone know about Jason Smith or Yuri Shishkov?
