Olin wrote:Maybe keep your eye out for a baritone Tyranny? When I had mine it had a painfully thin neck for me, same pickups and stuff as yours and only 2/3 of the price, have some moolah left over for something else.

manymanyhaha wrote:Your story and mine are pretty much the same. I admit mine started as something that was too difficult to build but 3-4 years ago, I agreed to a much simpler build, one that I've seen them do before. About a year ago, they appeared to be motivated and said it would be done by June. Hahahahahahaa
I get it. He took a bunch of money for builds that were too difficult, probably blew through that money to stay in business and now owes a bunch of guitars for what is not, in today's standards, not very much money that would be coming back to him. But that's business and that is not the burden of the clients, that is the burden of the person who takes money for something in return.

If an email doesn't get a reply, try again in 2 or 3 days. If they quote a time, follow up around the deadline. II really think the squeaky wheel gets the grease here. Allegedly most of the long wait people (over 4 years) are about up, but that was just one comment in the recent FB thread about wait times and communication, made by one of the typical suck ass members of the EGC defense force. I believe that less than what I hear from the horse's mouth.

Maybe they got the parts together and it didn't seem right so they scrapped it rather than trying to tinker with it to get it right.
If anyone has leads on an anodized Chessie, I'd be interested.
