I'm beginning to see a pattern of nothingness.

unfortunately, the delays of the previous weeks extended into MAY, and we are into the great empty vaccuum of Russian MAY HOLIDAYS (from may 1 - 11)... so for sure nothing will get done on your guitar until next week sometime.
I believe we are still waiting to take delivery of the chrome plastic for your pickguard, at least i didn't see any in the shop last week - so that is likely the cause for delay in your case. We have other guitars that are even more overdue than yours, and we are waiting on lots of parts and supplies that have been stuck in customs (or delayed at the manufacturers) for months. It's just impossible to get stuff here sometimes, and even when we pay huge amounts of money to get stuff "expressed" over from the US, we can still end up waiting 2 or 3 months for it. Its MADDENING

Is the pickguard/electronics all that is left? Did the artwork get re-done?

Тема: Re: CS 0016 - Shamray Custom Shop "SHOW-MASTER" for Kasey Collins (NJ, USA)
I haven't seen your guitar around Pasha's bench lately, so i assume its out in the finishing building (after getting updated artwork...)
I will know more on wednesday!

I apologize for not putting a review up for this guitar yet. I've been super busy and playing it as much as possible. I'll get one up as soon as I get a chance.
