Hi Folks
Sorry for the lack of news, but to be honest, there has not been much news.
As you know we took delivery of the MJ templates two weeks ago.
Yesterday I got the SJ templates, yah!
Tonight I started to prep the orders for those that ordered just MJ and Sj templates and
realized that we have TWO orders of SJ TEMPLATES! and NO MJ templates!
I did not realize this until I had both stacks next to each other to A/B them.

SO, the bad news is that we have SJ's and NO MJ's. There were a LOT of solo SJ order's so I will get started on them
tonight.

The GOOD news is that anyone that missed out can now order the SJ templates! Since we have a boat load of extras now! [headinwall]

The OM's are suppose to be in by Wednesday of this week, that is NOT a promise, but is rather what Ive been told. I will believe it
when they are in my hands. I am done passing on promise dates only to have them broken.

If you are interested in ordering an SJ template, shoot me an email and I will send instructions.
lance@kragenbrinkguitars.com

Beyond that, all I can say is hang in there guys and gals! And I DO promise you will be happy with them, they are awesome!
And worth the wait.

Thanks
Lance

This has been a learning experience for me as well as others, I assume, but I will only speak for me. In the future, I would be willing to pay MORE for a more reliable source. I fully understand the situation as explained for the producer. But ya have to admit, some 4-5 months in, it ain't worth the price doubled.

This is not a whine & moan post. OK? The stress on you all has to be rediculous. If we are going to continue to do this kind of thing, lets find someone who will put us farther to the front of the line and pay them more. CNCZone now has a "market place" forum where one can go to look for services rendered. Lots of guys out there with capable systems wanting to make their machines pay for themselves. Some of these folks are highly qualified. I say, give them a shot at our business.

This might have been posted somewhere, but I can find it. How much are the templates? I'm interested in the SJ size.

It's been so long ago I forgot what I ordered. August of '09 I think.

I agree with Chuck... I mean... I'm getting totally confused now. idunno
A new person would have no idea of what we are trying to talk about.
I thing we need a complete refresh of all the details. Maybe delete this post and start all over.
Don't get me wrong, I really want all the templates.

I just have no idea of where we are at now.
Actually my wife tells me I'm like this every day. :oops:

As of last Friday -ALL- the single SJ and OM orders have been sent out.
We are still waiting on the MJ templates, you might remember in a earlier post that
we ended up with TWO orders of SJ templates, 1 order of OM and no MJ.
We should have the MJ's this week and I will start sending out the three packs then.

After ALL the three packs have shipped the "extra" Sj's will be available. Ill let you all know how to get one then.

I wish we had an emoticon of a guy pulling his hair out, wow7-eyes


Thanks for your patients folks...

Lance,
I got mine yesterday. It is very nice, and matches my blueprint. Thanks. I'm sorry you had so much trouble getting them. When you have to rely on others to provide something, it can be very frustrating. I can tell you that I was frustrated too. But life goes on........
Thanks for everything you do for all of us, I know you try very hard.
Mike R

Dustin,

Lance is explaining that he isn't keeping a list (yet). Once he finishes the pre-orders, he will post how many he has and will take requests on a first come, first served basis.

I received my SJ template yesterday. Shipping to Canada took quite a while, but it has finally made it and the template really looks great.

Thanks again Lance for organizing this!

best, Christian
