I made my payments while watching the exchange rate. Watch the graph on xe.com for example.
Dont wait if you already know you're ordering one, since all you're doing is getting in line, and he's not starting on it for about another 5 months anyway.
Same here. I always pay attention to the rates too. Converting from Canadian dollars, it takes much longer to save up / make payments in other currencies (USD, EURO, GBP, etc).
 
Yep, good idea. I'll see if I can get in line this week. I haven't received an email from them since early August, this may catch their attention. :thumbsup:

Speaking of new builds, I'm thinking of specc'ing one out those Rocklite fretboards. I've only heard of one Wal with it so far, and research seems to validate that they are as close as synthetic wood can be to fingerboards without the CITES restrictions. Should I just go with the true woods?
 
So far 22 months and 18 days. Was quoted 22 months.

My last one took 23 months and 17 days but was quoted 20 months......guess the way I spec em out, it makes em go out longer than quoted :rolleyes:
I would like some opinions about what Im thinking about in a future Wal order. I want to order a MKIII four with Mahogany body, Quilted Maple facings, and a gloss black neck and headstock, with possibly a satin finish on the body. I would a gloss finish if I find the right shade of blue.

My thinking is that if I dont find the color during the build time, to eventually have Pat Wilkins paint the body in high gloss when I find the shade Im looking for.
