Keep on keepin' on, Ben. I'm hangin' in there.
And Bob, I think I may have enough saved up in a few weeks to order a Jangle Box. Got a strap, got the Y cable, could use some more picks...yeah I'm about ready.

Personally, I think waiting two years for a special order guitar is insane...and that's why I buy used also. Besides, by the time the guitar came in, I might not want it anymore! When I GAS for a guitar, I want it now.
The Autumnglo 330-12 I bought used from another forum member right here, is one of the best guitars I ever bought.

What keeps me waiting for my new Rick, 28 months after ordering it, is the unbelievably low price I got. I couldn't touch a used one for the price at the time, and I sure as hell couldn't now!

Same here, Kris. The price on the "ordered" guitar is about $600 less than it would cost from a dealer who already has the model in stock - well worth waiting for. However, if the (huge) price increase hadn't happened, there would be no way that I would wait that long.

Same here, exactly. I'll end up paying the same price (or maybe less, even) for a new Rick, as I would for a used one currently goes for. Given that choice, I'd rather have new.

Hey Jim! Lots of 360/12 FG's going out - I'm keeping candles lit for you! Did you get all of the necessary peripherals?

Yeah, like the No-Doze you're going to need to keep from falling asleep so you can play it for a week straight to make up for the wait.

Yeah got most of the peripherals...new Y cable, strap, & picks. I'm going to order a Jangle Box here pretty quickly...(like later this week.) I'll request a couple sets of RIC strings from Mr. Rhoads when I get The Call. (Ooh, such thoughts! Be still oh my heart!)
Nodoze? Nah...not me. Coffee is my preferred stimulant. And I have a stove top espresso maker...always does the trick!
Just checked over at corporate before logging onto the RRF and Rhoads' Music still isn't listed.

I can't wait to see your post to say your guitar has arrived Jim. You will be turning somersaults! It will be a real beauty and you deserve it.
Fingers crossed it is very soon. Let us know asap.
