Try finding it online at another store. Stay away from the big box stores. go for the boutique places that may have to carry one in their stock.

I got my white one on Wednesday!!! Love it, love it, love it!!! The only thing I'd change is the fretboard - it needs to be a thick slab of ebony like you used to find on SD Jacksons & Charvels. This one is pretty thin.

Gotta swap out the strings for some 10's and set it up. It's supposed to be a crappy day tomorrow, so it'll be perfect for guitar maintenance.

Hi guys, new guy here.

I bought a Jim Root Tele back in April, and loved it. Loved it so much I ordered another!!

I ordered it through GC on 5/23/08. Should have been about 3-4 weeks.

Checked in then - delayed until 7/4/08.

Checked in 7/11/08 - delayed until 8/23/08 - something about a "damaged" shipment. But I'm #2 on "the list" now...

Checked in today - backordered until "Sometime in October". Called Fender's CS line on advice from my sales guy and got nowhere - no answers at all. Worst customer service I've ever had. Period.

So how the heck can a STOCK GUITAR be on an endless backorder? What is so special about these guitars that they "might have a parts shortage" etc? Really??

Anyone else having these problems? Anyone have any insight? This is utter BS - 5 months to get a stock guitar. It will be the last new Fender I'll buy. Sorry about the sour grapes, but they are the biggest damn guitar company in the world, and they can't manage to get a stock guitar into the hands of someone in less than 5 MONTHS!?!?!

Wow.


That sucks! :evil: :cry: :D 8)
