The same thing happened to me with one my last MTD. Not to worry - I'm sure it won't be long.

That's why sometimes it's better to go through a Dealer, they (we) can manage the build time with Mike since dealers are ordering multiple basses at the same time and can adjust which one to be build first if it's possible. Anyways, Mike has never been able to finish a bass less then 8 months IME, the longest took 12 months for me, and it's mostly because there's only 3 people there and when they have trade shows, weather problem, etc, everything got set back.
But Mike has been doing his best everytime to keep up with his schedule.

Yes, and Mike told me that he would be training a new employee so that might be slowing things down a touch - for now.

So glad to be able to give Glenn business again. My trip there going on a decade ago really opened up the GAS
Dang, he's never finished within 8 months?! That's crazy! And to think you guys are still waiting 10+ months to get yours. I've been planning on getting my own custom MTD but that wait...I think i'd go insane from the GAS. Hard to believe people sell their custom MTD's after waiting for nearly a year to get them.

Not in my experience, if it's a true custom build (you decide every spec, pick the top wood, etc). My current build is maybe the fastest yet.
If it's a Signature Model, like AGS or the new Norm Stockton, Mike usually made a few within a period, so the wait is not as long, I once ordered an AGS 5, and it's done in 2 months. That time he has two of them being made.

Yes 5 years and still counting,I still have a bit to go before I get the call from Carl to work out details of my order, From that point it is the build time
