I' m not super comfortable with bitching the guy out on the internet... He is actually seems like quite a reputable guy. Hopefully this is just an anomaly. Hell, in September he offered me a nice discount and told me it would be done in December...

As a hobby/builder it's painful for me to make stuff for peeps sometimes. Mainly because I work freelance and real work is all at once or not, so it's hard to balance sometimes. I usually warn people about a wait time and it usually extends beyond that. Luckily, everyone's been so gracious about the wait. It would be a dream to to this full time. I have had several builds that have taken me over 2 months to finish. I hate that it takes so long.

I've been in that boat a couple times and it fucking sucks. I get it that things are still up in the air so you don't want to trash talk. Good on you!
After what I went through I will gladly tell the whole internet to NEVER GIVE MONEY TO THIS1SMYNE. The other guy is out of business because he couldn't handle his orders and flaked a bunch of times so it doesn't matter.

Haha... you guys.
I've been waiting over 5 years for these. Though, we kind of made a special arrangement so no way that happens to his normal customers (I think the wait is 3 years for a normal instrument).

But your work is so worth the wait.
And folks, top notch communication, amazing craftsmanship, and a willingness to rework the design. I love buying stuff from people who care about what they do.

That's the important thing, as long as people are honest and I know what I'm getting into I don't mind waiting.goroth wrote:But that's the thing, you're upfront about where you are coming from.LaoWiz wrote:As a hobby/builder it's painful for me to make stuff for peeps sometimes.

Yeah after building here the past few years I've only come across a few pedals (single digits, maybe 4-5ish?) that have caught me up and taken longer than expected. Luckily all of you rule and are completely understandingmonkeydancer wrote:That's the important thing, as long as people are honest and I know what I'm getting into I don't mind waiting.goroth wrote:But that's the thing, you're upfront about where you are coming from.LaoWiz wrote:As a hobby/builder it's painful for me to make stuff for peeps sometimes.
