Dingwall Owners Club

So this is a thing now if anyone has some Sweetwater bucks they need to burn.

I see the SJ above is listed as backordered. I wonder if that will be most of them, and backordered actually means “not yet ordered and your payment will put you in the queue.”

Yeah they don't have any Dingwalls listed in stock. Not sure if that's just because they are new and are getting them ready or if they just won't have that many.
 
on the one hand, this is exciting to see as there might be some more dingwalls out in the wild. On the other hand, feels like this is just gonna be yet another giant selection of instruments sweetwater "carries" but never has in stock. May pick up one of the john taylor signatures at some point, though.
I know this is a common refrain, and the perception isn't wrong, but it doesn't live up to reality. They carry the instruments, just the popular ones do sell extremely quickly, especially with the ability to monitor a site for inventory and notify someone. I would presume that imported Dingwalls may fall into that category, especially given how popular they are.

yeah, i know they have a TON of stock at any given time. But small sample size and highly anecdotal I swear every time I look at an instrument on there it's never in stock lol.
