For gruuv, who asked everybody to review what they've got on order from Jimmy (I don't mind having an excuse to go over it again):
LG-5
Aged Oly White, matching headstock
nitro lacquer body and neck
tort pick guard
Indian rosewood fretboard
A-C pre
passive tone control

I ordered it 3/17...That's, what, last Monday? Hoo boy. Got to hold on. Let's see: eight months? That's mid-November. Be nice to have it for all those holiday gigs. Of course, what would be really nice would be to have it for Memorial Day.

Here's a taste for you AJ! (sort of) :hyper: I have to admit, it's Uber cool man!!
Of course, you have to 'imagine' the Matching Gold headstock which just puts this off
the chain man! Well done. That's gonna make a killin' KBP-5!

We have a support group going here. Those who have gone up against the wait and came out on the other side, and those who are in the process right now. :D :D

TB is a great place!

Agreed. This is one of the best, coolest clubs on TB!

AJ -Does the KBP-5 come standard with the vintage bent plate bridge? If not, that's totally the way to go. Congrats again!

It does not come with the vintage plate. He's going to call when assembly rolls around and I'll make a decision then. There is an upcharge for it.

You're in a unique place though Bernie. Waiting for an A-C and a Fodera at the same time? Man, that's gotta hurt so good!

Some people get all sniffy about CNC machines.

Let's just clarify what they would do - all they do is the bulk of the shaping on the neck and body. The final profiling and sanding (and therefore, the essential "feel" of the instrument) is still undertalken by hand, so the feel Jimmy has instilled in his instruments, and which have earned his reputation, will still be intact.

The great thing is that consistency levels will be increased, so you're less likely to get a "Friday afternoon" or "Monday morning" end result! hahaha
