Pickups arent installed, nor has the switch been explored further. Our completing guy Dima has been ill for several days, so a whole lot of guitars are in LIMBO at present. | |

The "blemish" you refer to is just the way that the binding turned out. Some little particles of the black layer seem to have 'bled" underneath, when the lacquer clearcoat was applied. Nothing can be done about that, sorry! Its little things like that which serve to remind you that the guitar is actually 100% hand-made (even the bindings - every single layer of that binding was made by hand!) |

I'm waiting for Stepanov to get back to the shop and give me some confimration on the current shipping schedule. Thanks to three "way overdue" guitars recently getting bumped back up to the top of the list, I'm currently looking at your guitar going out Dec 26th. But that will probably change in a few hours |

Well - unfortunately, there are 12 guitars on the list that are already more overdue than yours (yours isnt actually DUE until Dec 9th) and several of them are ready to ship now, so they have to go out first! Its a pity that Mr. Shamray mismanaged things so badly that we now have a 2 month backlog on shipping. But he has been showing a marginal improvement in performance recently, and he did hire a third manager this week - which should theoretically improve things greatly in the future... maybe we wont HAVE a shipping backlog in 2006! |

I understand that the guitars over due are more important and i support that. i hope the new manager works out for the best. Im starting to understand what lucian was feeling in the last month or so before he got his guitar. I couldnt understand it until yknow, seeing the guitar completed and just sitting their on a stand. (well its almost finished, it needs a truss rod cover haha) But yeah, keep in touch michael. |

Hi Phil! On track??? Not even close...  Shamray still hasn't confirmed that he actually shipped the one guitar he promised he would ship saturday (CS-0083, which has been sitting in the shop PACKED for almost 2 weeks now) if he DID, then your guitar "could" ship next week sometime (as early as Tuesday, theoretically). However, there are STILL 7 guitars "more overdue" than yours, and any one of them could 'bump' you down the list, should they become ready to ship before yours goes out. The leading contender for this is CS-0059, which was actually due to ship out September 9th (exactly 3 months before your guitar became due). Stepanov promised me that 0059 would be ready Friday, (though it wasnt!) but there is a chance that it will be waiting for inspection on Monday. |

I wasnt holding my breath to begin with... well seeming my guitar is sitting on the wall, ready to go... If CS-0059 isnt ready by say, tuesday... could it be shipped? Plus when is russia 'shutting down' for that drinking festival? :S Also, whats the situation with this other person that has been employed to help with shipping? Man i hate this shipping bottle neck... but i can really sympathise with the other customers waiting longer than i have. Thanks anyway michael. |

I asked Shamray again yesterday, and Shamray CLAIMS he can get two MORE guitars out this week (drinking party starts Saturday). However, its apparent now that CS-0083 STILL hasnt shipped (thats the one he promised to ship on Saturday - then promised me again on Sunday that he would ship Monday morning, and then promised me again on Monday afternoon he would ship Monday evening). Anyway, if 0083 doesnt ship by TOMMORROW morning, then i can't imagine he is going to be able to get out even ONE more guitar this week. We shall see... |

sounds 'promising', lol. Well, if there was anyway us customers could light a fire under his bum, we'd be madly sparking flint rocks and rubbing sticks together. I can believe that its possible to get two more guitars out this week, i mean its wednesday arvo here in aussie land, and i could see how even i would do it, so hopefully Senor Shamray will be able to squeeze a few guitars out to make himself (not to mention a couple of lucky customers) feel good over this drinking festival/xmas time. I look forward to any news, and thanks michael. |

Phil, By far the best thing you can do is just sit back and forget about it until you get the message that it has shipped. Otherwise you will get very angry with it all. A month ago, my guitar needed a few little finishing touches done...minor, 10 minute jobs I imagine. Sadly, it still sits in the same place, the jobs not done. Last I heard, it is supposed to ship on the 18th January...with at least 7 guitars to ship before mine, and a 2 week holiday just about to begin....well you can work it out for yourself. This is a guitar started mid july (with an estimated 12 week build time). IF it does ship on the 18th, that will be 6 months. There is no point getting pissed off over it. It achieves nothing. |

Having been there myself ( I waited a whole year for mine... and then had to send it back ), I can only agree with Jon. Play your other guitar(s) and try to forget about it. That said, you do seem to have a healthy attitude towards this whole thing Phil, so keep being patient and know it'll (very likely) be worth it all in the end.

thanks for the input guys, all the points are valid, Im not exactly getting 'angry' its just HARD not to be disappointed, you watch it being built all this time, everything is organised and done on time etc, and then once its completed everything changes. Its hard not to get swept away with comments based on disappointment, so i always take a good few reads of my post before i post, to make it fair as possible on whomever it concerns, We will see what happens The wait is always worth it in the end, i do agree with that... its just hard to convince myself of that seeming that this is my first one, future ones i guess will be easier to wait for? But hopefully by then there mightnt be much waiting. take it easy guys

Phil go on ebay a look at your favorite guitars for sale or go to pawn shops etc... I buy vintage guitars and parts to keep my attention away from the SHamRay Ship fun. It is what it is with ShamRay process. Could you imagine what it was like Odering a Custom type guitar from Gibson in the 50's. No modern shipping. Yikes.

actually, ive decided to put together my own telecaster, buying the products online. Ive found an excellent tele body, see thru black quilt, ash body, gonna have it routed for a humbucke in the bridge, gonna slam a bigsby on it, grab a neck off ebay, some lockin tuners, the whole thing should cost me under $1000 australian which is awesome. So much for having a guitar to kick around, sigh. | |
