  • It was stated earlier in the thread that they would be a Jxxxx number (can't remember where the info came from, but I think it was a solid source), and I think there are a couple on eBay that confirm it already.

      • Ian, any insight on the certificates?

        Do they only come with certain CS guitars?

        Comment


        • That I'm not sure of. I've not seen an actual customer order yet, but I have a suspicion that the certificates might just come with the 'special edition' (i.e. small batch) or NAMM guitars. They don't give certificates with proper Custom Shops after all..

          • Mine starts with a "U" in the serial #, (but I'm not sure if that's because it was a NAMM guitar...). It's really hard to capture the reddish-pink color in photos...
            sorry about the sideways pics, not sure why they uploaded that way (mods, can you set them right-side-up...?)

            • That's weird if it's been sold as a Custom Select, not a small batch / dealer run or whatever. The JCS guitars on ebay have all been J serials and they've all been from runs of 10. Maybe they'd not decided on the serialisation standard back when this was built? Then again, this is the second JCS Rhoads I've seen with a J serial which also seems strange...



              Also, this one says work order 1001 as well

              • Maybe the stamp for U has broken; so in the meantime, they'll be using just J until either the U stamp is repaired or replaced?

                • I guess they will only stamp JXXX if the spec rather than the finish has been changed compared to usa select series. That one from ebay has only one fret inlay which might be the reason. No idea for RR though

                  • Has anyone on here ordered an oil neck on a Soloist? And/or a reverse headstock?
                    Just curious.

                          I would love to know how well it turns out. How long before they estimated delivery now?

                          • Estimated? 7 days. Reality? Who knows...

                            • Mine's overdue by about 9 days...

                              • To see delivery of a custom order even 10 days late would be a historic moment of positive change for our favorite guitar company.
                                Would it not?
