My order finally got the go ahead yesterday from Fender, but Jason himself said to expect around 18-24 months, and the dealer said around 12-18 months...I think the best thing to do is to expect "the worst" and prepare for the longest wait time and be pleasantly surprised if your order is done earlier than that :wink:

I HAVE observed that they are occupied with a variety of other projects. :wink: Two of them will be at The Music Zoo in Roslyn, NY shortly. Used to be Eldred plus one MB and another member of the team. Them days are gone forever.

Regular dealer orders are taking up alot of the Masterbuilders orderbooks. There are dealers here with thirty masterbuilt guitars in stock and they sit there for a long time....the market for £5k new Fenders here in the Uk is very small.

I wouldn't put it past Fender to have got those dealers arm twisted to purchase a given number of Custom Shop pieces in order to be allowed to carry the line.

this is something I also noticed and I really dislike it

I thought ordering a CS guitar is supposed to be about the experience of seeing your own dream guitar be created, according to your specs,

so why do these dealers order 30 of them with weird specs,
who then get bought by no one

well whatever I'll keep waiting until I can order mine
