Maybe he was unaware of that fact Dave...This is what I think of Gibson since 1993.
I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! 
I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

Let's not forget that while there are the 2 main Jackson builders (Red-Dave mainly does Charvel as I understand it), once the woodwork is done, that's pretty much the end of Shannon / Santana's involvement. Paint, assembly and setup isn't done by them..Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to getComment

And the bigger point you already made Ian, same as I've been saying for awhile, too many dealer spec guitars take priority over customer orders.Originally posted by neilli View PostComment

+1 This sounds like a dealer issue to me as well. Also when you get that guitar I'll bet your whole tune will change.Originally posted by neilli View PostThis is what I think of Gibson since 1993.I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED!

Custom shop delivery times from Charvel and Jackson have always been long. Did you just find this out? That's why I don't mess with them. I buy plain Jane Charvels and do what I need to to them which is usually another pickup route, or a new body, new pickups and a refin. I'm getting too old to wait 2+ years for a guitar. Heck, I had Mike Learn build a guitar for me in around 3 1/2 months and he doesn't even had a CNC machine. If I want another full blow custom guitar I'll go through him.Comment

My War Angel took 18 months from order to delivery, and it was a custom body shape.
My 7-string WR took 19 months from order to delivery, and was placed before the War Angel. I think they had to rebuild it - there was a pic of a Blood Drip 6-string WR on the rack behind the pics of another order the same dealer had received fro Jackson, and I wondered aloud if that was mine (since it was a bolt-on, and only a skinflint bastard like me would order a bolt-on CS WR
)
Never got a definite answer, but the general vibe was "oops, yeah, sorry 'bout that - DO OVER!"
So both of those were considered Custom Body Shapes (since they had never really done a CS bolt-on WR7 before), AND I got a sweet freebie case upgrade for the War Angel - white tolex with gold piping!
So yeah, your 2-year+ wait sucks for you. Glad it wasn't me
But to be fair, this was right after they did the "clear the backlog" thing, so they weren't piled high with orders like they are now.
But let's hear these fabulous specs of yours that's giving the CS fits.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

If you think their wait times suck,try ordering a custom pool cue from South West. Their wait time is currently 11 YEARS. Tommy D."I'm going to try and work it out so at the end it's a pure guts race......because if it is.....I'm the only one that can win" - Steve PrefontaineComment

I've never ordered a CS Jackson. I've played a lot of them, but never ordered one myself. When I ordered a semi-custom EBMM Axis, I thought the 8 month wait was long. Sheesh! Before you cancel your order, check if another builder can build you a jackson instead of jackson. I'd give Ran, GJ2, Wayne, GMW, GMP, Dean a call and see what they say. However, a CS Jackson is hard to top.
