The good(?) news is Guitar Land can get more- the bad news is that it will be 10 - 12 months to deliver and the price will be higher as they let that one go at near cost because it had sat in their store for quite a while. They were just trying to move stock.
Regarding my reliability, I've sent a bunch of guitars to members of this board over the years. You can ask Newc, Nazgul, and Speiro, or do a search for my handle in the "Feedback" section.Until you get weaned off the boobie, you are going to have to do what the wife wants too. -Rsmacker

After having delt with Jason at DCGL a number of times, I feel I can safely say that he's jacking the price up because he knows you want it.(JMHO) He told me a couple of years ago that he can often get models other dealers cannot because he is ESP's #1 US dealer and he orders a lot CS pieces for his shop. I heard the same line you did when I inquired about a Charvel CS piece on his site. He informed me that it had just sold a couple of days prior and that he had not had time to remove it from the site. When I inquired about ordering another the price was several hundred more. I passed.

My experience was that they had bold, red text up within 24 hours of the RS-II being sold indicating as much. The subsequent emails from them regarding ordering another one were that it would likely be more expensive as the last one went out at a closeout price. Sh*t, I ordered a CS Charvel Star with better options and paid about the same money. Maybe I oughta see if CS will make me one like the RS-II including the banana head stock. Boy, wouldn't THAT piss off Gibson!! LOL!!!
