  • Why is the Custom Shop delivery so bad???

    Is anyone else experiencing bad delivery times? I ordered a custom shop over 13 months ago. During the summer I was told I was close to delivery but then they asked for the specs to be reconfirmed. Now I don't know if I'll ever see it. I've been a Jackson fanatic since my first custom soloist in 84. I'm getting more and more dissapointed with this wait. I don't know if it's worth waiting anymore or just cancelling and getting an Anderson!

    The delivery time for the Jackson CS pretty embarrassing - they're quoting 18-24 months right now. It's worth it, but it's difficult to justify.

    Anderson deliver in 4 months. And I was blown away by mine.

    Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

      To be fair, this subject has been discussed/debated at least 100 times since I've joined here. I'm waiting for a CS Jackson and I got over a year to go. It sucks ass but what can you do? If you prefer CS Jacksons, you're fucked.

            Stop complaining!

            The lead time for a Jackson Custom Shop guitar is a year and a half. 18 months. If that bugs you...go order something else!

            Good things come to those who wait. Um..Haste makes Waste!

              After a 9-12 month wait, if they ask you to confirm the specs, it means it's finally starting the build phase.

                Yeah, I'll bet Ran Guitars can make a nice ripo....Replica for half the price in half the time

                  Maybe 4 years ago. IIRC Ran has fired up their pricing way up there in recent years.

                    You may be right, but from what I gathered, turnaround time or price was still not as high as J/C, nor are there any "no-go's" in a design

                    I guess it's probably more expensive for the other side of the Atlantic, as a Custom J/C would be here

                    I mean, just a warmoth RR in parts is gonna put me way over $1300 before shipping and tax, without even going crazy on the options
                    and for that money it's not even built, nor does it have any hardware installed

                      I am waiting on a custom shop. Ordered just over a year ago, and the build has not started. I'll stick with Anderson going forward. I don't need a case of "guitar blue balls".

                        I've done the 1-2 year wait thing for my CS Jacksons before. I know it sucks and other builders such as Anderson can get it done much quicker. However, there is still nothing like a Jackson! I don't like the turn around time either but if I order another CS guitar it will be Jackson again!

                          Elephants have a gestation period of 24 months. So if you are lucky, you can have a CS Jackson quicker than a baby elephant
