Given what you've filled me in on recently in regards to how things went down in the past while I was out of touch. I'm not either. Mike's departure, my recent dealing with the CS, and their latest Roadshow offerings all add up to make this seem like less of a "Fender Custom Shop" and more of "just another boutique" operation done by a large manufacturer. Nothing about this strikes me as "Fender". Which is kind of sad.

They have one? Whoever it is is certainly keeping a low profile.

Somewhere in all of this I've been given to understand that they do.

The person probably has a lot on their plate and might eventually get around to introductions here?

That's what happens when you sit down to a buffet instead of a menu. You bite off more than you can chew :!: :lol:

The buffet comparison isn't too bad. Although it is a bit of a Taco Bell experience too; you have hundreds of choices, but when you look at it closer, you'll find that it's the same handful of ingredients in all of them.
And whether a buffet or Taco Bell, we all know what the ... ehrm, end result...

Looking more closely at the chef running the kitchen rather than the menu at this time.
