I have been reluctant to post this on the forum but I am a little concerned about Joseph Hawley of Jhawk customs. I ordered and sent in a deposit for a Fearless F112 on July 19. It is going on eight weeks and have not heard a word from Joseph. Numerous e-mails and calls with no response. Has anyone been in touch with him lately. I'm hoping he is OK. Other Greenboy Audio builders, do you have any incite on what might be going on?

Try the Greenboy forum? I mean, most of the crowd over there HAS hung out here, but why not just go straight to where the builders and folks in direct contact with them DO hang out?
If I haven’t heard back by Monday afternoon, I’ll start posting there too. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt

So far I’ve tried emailing, calling, messaging him from his Facebook page, the Greenboy audio Facebook page and Greenboy audio website. No response from any so far
 
I assuredly wasnt insinuating any stirring of the pot was necessary. I figured since there is a community directly related to the specific query at hand, there is likely a slightly better chance of bringing to light any pertinent information that may help bring this seemingly unfortunate chain of events to a satisfactory conclusion.

:D
 
Definitely get on the Greenboy forum here, or on the Facebook group.. there's always something going on there..
I've had several conversations with three different builders on different occasions, all were great to deal with. Some patience is key on your part.. these guys are busy... a couple have other jobs they do fulltime... while a couple just recently had some health issues going on...

As for the email issue, I can't comment, because I've never emailed either of them...
I questioned on the forum here, and then when I found the FB pages, in inquired there too... never an issue, and so worth it in the end.

I'm having a similar issue. Ordered a Cab in early Sept with a 5-6 week promise for completion time. I've emailed twice (10/6 & 10/18) asking for a ETA update and no response.
Getting worried.
Me too. You placed your order around the same time I did apparently.

So far I've tried:
  • Emailing JHawk 4-5 times with no response.
  • Calling JHawk left a voicemail
  • Facebook Messaging JHawk - 2 times. Not showing as read.
  • Using the Greenboy Audio website contact form. No response.

No response from any of those so I tried:
  • Posting on the Greenboy message board - Greenboy said he was going to reach out to JHawk. That was last monday. No response from JHawk
  • Facebook messaging Greenboy Audio - Got a response saying that they would try reaching out to JHawk. No response from JHawk
I went with JHawk originally because I saw a lot of his work in the forum here and had confidence that he was a good builder. I know there is probably some explanation, but seems like there are a few people hanging here and I have money locked up in this cab that I don't have, with no contact from the builder and a gig coming up.
