Correct, hehe...It's getting there...Reason being this was the guitar that Randy was moving toward using more often....I will get a PDV at some point, but this is first, then the Les Paul....

This is the only guitar I will order from them, not that my experience has been bad, but a Les Paul is a Les Paul..So I'll be purchasing that traditionally. So no build time was established, I paid in early May, and for the most part, they have been responsive to my communication, it's pretty customized, Floyd rose, Seymour Duncan pickups, Gotah peg head tuners, etc...perhaps mid July . Once I get it, I'll order the anvil case that you recommended. The PDV's seem to be a lot more readily available and easy to procure for a decent cost vs the Concorde.

Good deal on that guitar as long as everything turns out alright. I would disagree though with the part with Randy graviating toward this guitar more. He was actually try to get away from it since the upper fret access was just to hard to get at(not that his playing suggested it!) This is why he ordered another Jackson that was redesigned to fix this problem. He may have also been possibly thinking of getting away from trems all together since the black Jackson did not have one, nor did the 3rd Jackson (white/gold)that he never received.

Good points, let me clarify a bit, he was going more towards Jackson then another PDV, which is why I went that direction as well. Always thought the Conccorde had really good tonality, and no doubt it looked super cool as well.

Do they have choice of wood options on these guitars? Looks like a fun project guitar.
