Hey, it's not just hacks. I sent my guitar to a tech for a refretting. The guy used to do tech for Pearl Jam. The reason I sent it to him was because he promised a two week wait. That was in late october, and last I talked to him, he said he could sent it back since he hadn't even looked at the guitar yet. I was like "with all due respect, don't tell me two weeks if the lead time is going to be more than six months." He said "well, the two week quote was just an estimate." Same kind of thing happened with my BC Rich. Six months ended up being two years. I don't understand why they can't give a quote time within 400% error.

At my shop, I usually give customers a 1-2 week turnaround for small stuff like setups, pickup changes, replaced parts, etc. Larger jobs, will naturally be longer, depending on my workload, which is usually about 20 -30 guitars at any given time. I may go over those times, but by not much more than a week or two max. With that many guitars, it's hard to keep up with the workload - and of course everyone wants their axe yesterday.

Those wait times you are giving are brutal. They wont be in business long.

Please be kind to snakes. They can't help it.

I recently got tired of waiting for my purpleheart/walnut RG body and cancelled that as well. 8 weeks was the promised wait; I cancelled at 17 months.

It's like I said in a recent painting thread, too many guys out there just buy a machine and announce they are either guitar builders or guitar painters without ever having apprenticed anywhere for so much as a week. "I aced shop in highschool, therefore, I am a luthier (and chairmaker, too)". They're everywhere.
this kind of stuff bothers me quite a bit, especially when i'm only on my 4th guitar now, and i'm already almost done with this 7 string superstrat, i've only even put maybe 2 weeks from planning to now into this thing, and its looking like it'll be in the spray booth next week.

Yep, that's sweet. Easy to achieve as it's just a UV7BK that was stripped, stained and oiled. I think Ibanez should make a 7 with this finish.

Sweet Ran. It's like a BC Rich V neck on a Jackson King V body.

I do that with cops all the time. "Do you know how fast you were going?" "Yeah, about 50-55." "I clocked you at almost 70!" "Yeah, well it was just an estimate..."
