We're just waiting for Dima to come back to work (turns out that he's been at home sick the past couple of days) - and then it should be completed in a matter of HOURS. Shipping should be happening next week sometime!

I love the finish on the guitar, really compliments the wood grain and texture. Looking mighty well.

Cs-1987 IS FINALLY PAID FOR AND READY TO SHIP!!!
And I paid it with the "quickest" transfer style, so it should only take a few days...
Michael, let's use my GF's phone number since I probably won't be able to speak on the phone when the courier trys to call me.
Any things we need to sort out of the shipping still?

More pics would maybe ease my impatience to have Her in my hands finally...
And here's two pics that M sent me this week...

M, would you like to tell me what did the piezo sound like with the EMG's? Did the piezo sound bright and the EMG's bassy or both bright?
I'm just so excited right now...

The piezo sounds especially 'acoustic', and i would say both the EMGs AND the piezo are very bright! No lack of 'fullness" in either mode, its a very well-balanced tone no matter how you play it. The only 'thin' sound you will get is when you pull up the pullpot that puts the 89 in single mode (used by itself, you can get a very strat-like tone). Btw, the piezo gets extra fatness when you use its "push-pot' to activate the midrange boost)

Guitars dont get much more versatile than this one! :-)

So when is she going to ship???

I will try to remember to ask about the 'exact lacquer thickness' when i visit the shop next! :-)

And, (if Mr. Shamray ships CS-0511 tommorrow - as he said he would), your guitar is NEXT IN LINE for shipping, so it should go out "sometime next week"

( i dont have any firm shipping schedule from Shamray yet...)

I have NO INFORMATION about shipping... Shamray seems to have 'gone underground' :-(

As soon as i get any news, i shall let you know!

Shamray wasnt at the shop today (he very rarely is!) - and he has not responded to my phone calls, emails, or SMS messages. It was Dima's day off, and he is the only other person who ever gives me information about shipments.

In short, there is no news! :-(

Oh crap crap crappity crap... I was just SO hoping that she would ship before my christmas leave which is next week, but I guess that she'll not... I sort of guessed it, with Mr. Shamray being in charge of things...

But please M, try to get some sort of grip on Shamray on his shipping schedual... That's the number 1 reason on delays that I've happened to come upon on other threads...

Unfortunately, there is nothing that I can do about Shamray's bad behavior! He OWNS the company, I'm only a poorly-paid consultant (whose good management advice is routinely ignored!) :-(


On December 6th, Shamray confirmed that THIS would be his shipping schedule:

CS-0511 Thursday Dec 7th
CS-0100 Sunday Dec 10th
CS-1987 Thursday Dec 14th
CS-1952 Sunday Dec 17th
CS-3001 Thursday Dec 21st

His exact words to me: "We shall follow this dates."

For WHATEVER reasons, he chose to SKIP shipping CS-0511 altogether, then shipped CS-0100 a day early. Then he didnt ship ANYTHING on December 14th (at the very least, 0511 should have gone out!) and so far he has not shipped anything TODAY either (its 2 PM).

So he has now put himself THREE guitars behind schedule. I'm not happy with the situation AT ALL.. I have told him many many many many many many times that delays in shipping are "COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE"! :-( :-( :-(

Well this is pretty much the only thing that I was really afraid of when I chose to order my guitar...

I really appreciate all the troubles you've been thru, Michael, and I'd just like say thank you for it...

If your guitar has indeed been 'skipped', if it helps at all you are welcome to have my shipping slot. I'm not sure if it works like that, but the offer is there.

That's a plenty generous offer Jon, but I think that it's best if CS-0511 ships first and mine when it's time for it to ship...
Which was supposed to be the 14th...

But I can't help it if Shamray doesn't understand what's good for business!

That's excellent news!

What kind of a shipment is it BTW, EMS or what?

And did CS-0511 ship already(it was in line before mine, and I don't think it's cool to ship mine before the one that's in line, although it's REALLY nice that mine shipped already.)?

Only sad thing: The first time I'll get to play her is on the weekend AFTER new year's eve(next time I get on leave after Boxing Day)...

yes, its an EMS shipment (check your email for the tracking number!)

Shamray sent me a tracking number for 0511 as well, so it must have shipped either today or possibly yesterday (i havent seen the waybills so i'm not sure...)
