What was your total build time? Were you able to receive any updates along the way?
I placed one last October so mine should be on the tail end of hte build time since it's been eight months. I haven't had any updates on the status or progress which is typical from what I have heard. Think the only time they contact you during the build process is if they have questions due to something not being clear on the build sheet.
I have an order from early february. I had a bit of contact with them early on regarding some issues with the specs, and I got some photos from the supplier just a few days ago that show a guitar that seems mostly finished. No word on how much longer it will take until it is completed, but I was told it would take about 8 months at the time.
Did you all order guitars from the USA shop or the Japanese shop?

Mine too. I asked because I have gotten updates on the progress on my guitar both times I've asked for it. I talked to the dealer, who asked the custom shop contact for photos of the guitat to make sure the finish was right, and we got responses within hours or minutes. So I was thinking that the US maybe factory doesn't have someone on customer service duty.
I'd be interested to see a photo of yours on the forum when you get it!
I did one this April. It usually takes about 1 year if it is not an extravagant build.
