I've got a blue sage 7 on the way. I'll report back when I get a chance to put it through its paces. Fingers crossed it'll be a good.

Bummed I cancelled my order but at the same time happy because I ended up getting a Mint UV777BK and still had money leftover.

For me it was definitely hard to justify spending 2k on a guitar made in WMI. Especially when you factor in the fact that Abasi seems to have had some QC issues. If your willing to look at the used market 2k goes a long way in my opinion.....but in the end I hopped on board the hype train.....I really hope once I get the guitar in my hands I feel slightly justified in spending that money. Either way I'm excited.

@HellaSickTight did the guitar come in Abasi branded packaging? Like the cardboard and all that, or was it just standard cardboard with just their label on it?

Has anyone just had their order sitting on 'Shipment Ready for UPS'? It says the estimated delivery date is Thursday (10/22), but it hasn't been updated since last Thursday.

Yea that happened to me, basically the creation of the UPS labels they made entered the system and alerted a bunch of people that they would deliver last Thursday, then once my guitar actually got scanned in the system the delivery window was updated. I sent Ivan an email the 2nd day and he responded thanking me for my patience as they apparently had a lot of guitars to ship. I hope yours gets figured out soon!

Yeah, I figured they're probably the busiest they've ever been, so that's understandable. Hopefully it gets here by the end of the week, but I'm not sweating it.

Y’all will both wake up some morning and it will have gone through like 4 checkpoints and be super close. Mine departed at 11pm, did most of its traveling overnight, and was on the truck for delivery by 6am when I checked my tracking. (But I live in LA, so that’s why I think I got mine so quickly)

Did you happen to hear anything back about your headstock paint issue?
Also how are you liking it so far?

I haven’t heard back yet I think they’re slammed but I’m not stressing. So far I’m absolutely in love! I think this is the perfect instrument for what I was looking for in this price range. And it just sounds so goddamn good! I’ve tried it through every Neural Plugin and it’s incredibly dynamic! I’m glad I don’t have any issues with the neck or frets or any other hardware! I’d say the guitar is slightly heavier than I was anticipating because of the basswood. The laradas I played the most at NAMM I remember being shockingly light and maybe even a bit thinner? I was mostly playing with that carbon quilt one. It also just feels great to support Tosin and everything he’s doing to advance the design of modern guitars!

All the courier services have been slammed all year thanks to covid, Abasi is probably just waiting on a truck to come pick up their stuff. Just heard from UPS and my guitar is finally gonna be released by customs today. With luck I'll have it only a week later than I was supposed to 
Well, I finally pulled the trigger on the Overcast 7 string. I just got myself too excited. I think I may have gotten the last one as its now showing sold out just after I finalized the purchase! So excited! I'll report back here when it arrives and let you all know what I think.
