Any chance that customs is just slow due to what's going on in the world right now? I've purchased off of Buyee without issue before, but it did take a little bit to clear customs. Fingers crossed you can find a solution, whether that's getting your money back or getting the guitar through customs.
Money back from Kiesel, immediately. You can always order another. It's their fault for shipping to the wrong person in the first place, why would you accept a 'used' guitar for the price you expected a new one at? As @budda alluded to, particularly with the current state of the world w.r.t...
It sounded as though the Grover builds were still going to be finished up (for the already ordered ones anyways), and it seems that these Larada J's are completely separate production line.
If I had to guess: they'll move away from any further Grover / "custom shop" builds and move just to...
@StevenC it was a thin metal plate for under the headstock string locks with a proper seating that would eliminate the potential for rip out of the wood (which some customers experienced when they over-tightened their string locks), and prevent them from twisting at all. I looked but can't find...
They very briefly (1-2 days?) sold the hardware for this upgrade on their website almost a year ago, and the plan was to implement it fully on the production models towards the end of 2019, but it seems like it's either been forgotten about, too difficult to implement while not adding to the...
Looks like there are some Poplar Burl-topped Prog models in 6 and 7 string (w/ & w/o tremolo) coming shortly. Guitar Center has them up on their site currently.
More importantly, they took down the Metal models that were in solid colors other than black and white (there was a purple 8-string...
To clarify, I was looking at the metal model and saying that it's the same price as the Longfield model. Was expecting them to price it at $3K (not because that's what I think it's worth but because that seemed the likely premium they'd charge for neckthrough). I didn't even see that the fusion...
@StevenC yeah, I was expecting worse. nice to see they didn't make another crazy price hike for these models. No 7's and 8's for a while though? :shrug:
Based on the latest from the Japanese sites, it would appear that the Boden basses are getting the standard boden color suite added going forward: Natural, Black and Red
I've tried clicking the link directly, copying and pasting the link into a browser, etc. and can't seem to watch the video (same as with the first one)... what am I missing?
THANK YOU so much for posting this @Lorcan Ward ! I heard somebody playing this riff on instagram a few years back and had no idea what it was until now. So groovy.
