I have no experience with Breedloves, but I've had to wait for others. Excruciating! I recommend listening to lots of music and staying clear of clocks...

I have been on the list since late last August. I think we (the luthier and I) will begin the final design phases later this month or early next. Then it will be another 4-6 weeks for production and delivery. So almost a year. It was hard at first...and it has only gotten harder as it gets closer. --Michael -------------------------- Breedlove Quartz OF Breedlove Quartz OO Labraid Cytole #56 (Due to Arrive July 2008)

Waiting never really bothered me until I received an email on the 7th of Nov saying my Master Class C25 had been shipped and it included tracking numbers. I tracked that baby all the way to Florida .....about every 6 hours! My wife thought I was crazy and I was starting to believe her. After a few days passed my nose was stuck to the window everytime I heard anything that sounded half way close to a UPS truck. I took off work the day that it was to arrive and now that day is a holiday in our home and we celebrate the getting back of my mind! I'm lucky the UPS driver was a guitar player also and totaly understood the huge hug he received. I might have been in trouble otherwise. He stuck around for the unpacking and was very impressed with the guitar. Said he was going to GC to check them out. Life has not been the same since that day in our family history! Good Luck Greg

Well I have never done that but I did come home at lunch time to see if it had arrived. I also left a note asking Fed Ex to call so I could get there when the guitar was arriving. ragtime man

Be sure to let us know when it comes and post some pics as well. --Michael -------------------------- Breedlove Quartz OF Breedlove Quartz OO Labraid Cytole #56 (Due to Arrive July 2008)

Concert Posts: 917 May 22, 2008 12:02:12 Northwest Lounge moderator	When I was thinking of have a Breedlove build to my spec. such as a 1 13/16 inch nut I was talking to the dealer who was going to order it for me about the length of time it would take. He told me that what ever Breedlove quoted I could count on it being about correct. He said his experience was that sometimes they came a week to a few days early but very seldom did they take longer than what the quoted. So keep playing and dreaming about holding that new guitar. It is not easy waiting but it will be worth the wait. ragtime man

Parlor Posts: 11 May 22, 2008 17:02:23	Well reading all this has not given me much hope for an early arrival-- But I am still glad I will be getting something special- I wonder if I will get an e-mail when Breedlove receives the order?- I am trying not to harass the retailer that I ordered through- Nice to know I am not alone- Thanks for all the responses!

If everything is on track you are about 1/3 of the way through and on the downside of the hill with only 8 - 10 weeks to go! --Michael -------------------------- Breedlove Quartz OF Breedlove Quartz OO Labraid Cytole #56 (Due to Arrive July 2008)

You could make a list of the things you plan to learn on the new guitar when it gets there and start getting the music or tab charts ready for the new guitar. ragtime man
