Dunno yet how they're gonna ship it. Usually from the states the "slow boat to china" shipping option takes 3-4 weeks. International priority usually 3-5 days depending on how it catches the weekend. Last payment is gone... I'm sure I can write a blues song about online stores stealing my money. Cept a real poor bluesman wouldn't have any internet or computer hehehe I went for the extra wide C. 1 3/4 nut width. 12" radius. Was a toss up between that or the "U" shape they had, but I think this'll work. Couldn't find many of the different shaped necks here to get a good feel, but it looked like the right idea from the guitars I find comfortable. Would have been nice if I could have tried some V shape necks tho just to see. Other options? mmm it's in Ash, not Alder cos I seem to like the sound of Ash guitars. Maple neck. Should be pretty bright sounding which is the business If I can get enough twang out of it then my gigging stable will be my De Armond M75, S-500, and Dean Resonator. If I can't then the CV Tele just has to come too

Given it left San Francisco on my Friday, it should be here (assuming it left on a plane of course). USPS tracking info has been pretty hopeless and only tells me it left San Fran, so they might not have confirmation it's here while it's out of their network. I've been a bit hopeful and brought my Fender G-Dec Junior and a set of headphones in to work I also had a package leave the next day, from one state away from Pro Guitar Shop. FedEx tracking says it's in a van in Auckland and out for delivery. EDIT: and it has arrived.... where is my guitar USPS?

Detailed Results: Processed Through Sort Facility, November 03, 2011, 4:46 pm, ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS) Arrived at Sort Facility, November 03, 2011, 4:46 pm, ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS) Processed through USPS Sort Facility, November 02, 2011, 7:46 pm, PORTLAND, OR 97218 Electronic Shipping Info Received, November 02, 2011 Oi move damnit! GRR! Going to throw.... Toys... Out... Of... COT!!!! funny I was doing the order, and I was patient. It was being made, and I was patient. It was waiting on parts, and I was patient. It was being painted, and I was patient. It was finished and sent to PGS, and I was patient. The tracking hasn't been updated in 3 days which is nothing in comparison to the amount of time I've been waiting for it overall really, and I'm about as patient as an expectant father EDIT: Ahh seems I can track it this end through New Zealand Post Time Date Status 05.44 AM 02/11/11 Picked up 04.46 PM 03/11/11 Left country of origin Your Item is in transit to New Zealand. ...... BAH! Come on that still says it left Friday, or given the time difference Saturday. No plane is that slow, what did it leave on a paddle steamer? Stick it to some polystyrene and push it out to sea? Possibly it went to Australia first, hope it doesn't catch any bugs
