Custom Order wait times

Post by Paul Siewert »

Hi


Just ordered a Legacy SSS in Fullerton red with a rosewood fret board from Eddie's Guitars.

Does anyone have any advice on what the normal wait time is on a custom build ?

Also, I asked them to note I would like a Dark Rosewood fret board with the guitar....hope the request will be successful.

I love the look of a red guitar with a Dark fret board...real important for me on this custom order.

Ask the dealer to get an ETA for your order. They will contact the factory (or dealer rep) and should be able to get the current
build timeframe.

For a dark fretboard, another option is an Ebony fretboard. The recent (last 6 months or so) Ebony boards from their supplier has been
quite dark.

Hope this helps.
