I think it's a no brainer. How many could they possible have?

According to the company website listing of recent shipments, they were just shipped 5. Not sure how accurate or recent that list is

Watch those teeth, Marlin. I'm not sure we've properly sedated the beast . . .

As I've stated many times before, the website does NOT show quantity of UNITS shipped, only the quantity of SHIPMENTS. For all I know, that may have been 5 shipments of 10 units each (and I'm too lazy to look it up).

For some reason I've never caught that point. Thanks John. Mine has shipped too. Most of the parts are being swapped out for vintage parts right after it gets here.

Won't that affect your warranty Dane?

Mine got shipped as well. Psyched. It will be nice having a Ric of a different color too. As I have stated before, I am not allowed to have more Fireglo until sprinklers have been installed. :)

must resist.

I don't need another one.

(don't yet have a blue bass)

but there's no room left on the rack...

(build another rack)

This is frightening. I'm having an on-line argument with myself. :shock:

You guys broke it with all the orders.

Actually, there's a major shift going on at Musician's Friend. They're moving from their headquarters in Medford, Oregon, into Guitar Center's campus here in the San Fernando valley. Many employees, in fact almost all the people we have dealt with for years, elected not to make the move to California, and after Medford, who can blame them?

For some time, Guitarcenter.com orders have been fulfilled by MF, as I understand it. My fear is that musiciansfriend.com and guitarcenter.com will become indistinguishable. I suspect, but have no actual knowledge, that there's some ownership changes going on as well, what with the founding Eastman family, the GC IPO, and the Bain Capital privatization playing roles. But what do I know?

EMEA markets are my terrain, but I heard something similar in the walkways at work. So, either it's true, or gossip does travel faster than light :wink:

On the parts I swap out, yes, but I wouldn't think that the warranty for the finish or body/neck assembly would be affected.
