He said the same thing to me but it has been about three months. A while back he received a write up in a magazine for his guitars. 1000 pounds for your choice of woods and a a multiscale neck (with a ballin' 28"-25.5" for your Drop E pleasure no less) with shipping included to the US of A is a great deal. I suspect he got flooded with orders and similar to the Rico situation is fighting a massive backlog. I email him ever three weeks. Even if it takes another month, it still is a very quick build time for a small luthier.

I wonder how many siggerys are in progress, Marty should be very busy this days.

[Slunk Dragon]

Holy shit, I think this guitar tops a lot of others that I've seen. Beautiful wood top and pretty freaking unique design. Happy NGD to ya!

Happy NGD! I didn't think I would like the look of quilted maple without some kind of colour over it. I was wrong. Great choices.

I'm waiting on mine too, was also told 6-8 week turnaround time but I'm now at about the six month mark. Marty may have bitten off a little more than he can chew in terms of turnaround time but I would rather he takes his time than rush and churn out sub-par guitars.

Exactly my feeling. In reality, this is what one would actually expect for a turn around time. I just hope we don't have a Roter/Sherman situation crop up.

Body is not chambered, it isn't something i like the sound of for my personal taste.

ouch...i guess so.
i hope mine doesn't take so long, i knew i had to wait but i need it for the band, and i sold my schecter c-8 to get the money to order it.

I have got behind with a few orders at the moment but I am catching up this month with a lot of older stuff. Many sorry's to those who have been kept waiting and thank you so far for your patience. I ended up getting a silly amount of orders all in one hit at the tail end of last year. So it has been hard to keep up but I am on it and won't let standards slip to rush stuff out the door. Anyway, thanks to everyone once again and their patience.

[Danukenator]

Hot damn, I didn't know Martian had an account?!? You should do some built threads...please?

[Marty Siggery]

I don't know what section to do that in and also can't figure out how to even start a thread? I only know how to reply to posts. Sorry

[vampiregenocide]

Do it in the Luthiery/builds section, at the top left right you should see a button that says 'new thread'. Interested to see more work from you as I will hopefully be placing an order very soon.

[Marty Siggery]

Thank you for the tip. I will look into it and start some threads

I think unless the customer is posting, the builder needs to post in the dealer section.

Well, i can say as an owner of this guitar, 10 months wait isn't a big deal for such a great instrument. Most other luthiers have a similar, if not longer turnaround time. Its well worth it!!

[stuglue]

Anything under a year is great. The String Surgeon took a year for my custom 7
