I am waiting to get mine. Patience. In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft. :bowdown:

You could start by actually reading the thread you're posting to... from earlier in the thread:

I got a reply from him yesterday. Took some months!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting me.

Here is some information for guitars with ebony top:-

£ GBP
B2 2100
B6 1400
B7 2300
8 2500
F8 2800

Delivery and case approximately 160

Please note neck thru is not available

I regret I am unable to accept orders at this time, there will be a note on the site when this is possible, this is because wait times are 1-2 years, they are still entirely handmade.


Doug.

That was from 8/11, so no he's not taking orders. There are also many excellent custom builders and some high end production guitars that are just as good as BM.

Very nice work on the website design, simple and directly to the subject, no blablabla :yesway:

Much like his guitars, no? :)


Sucks he isn't taking orders. The Blackdroid/Blackmachine thread in the ERG forum inspired me to have one of each haha. I used to hate that BM headstock, but it is slowly growing on me.

glad to know nothing has changed :lol: his e-mail has done that for about a year and a half now. not hearing from him is normal. I had a deposit in from the guitar and he answered maybe 1 in 5 e-mails, with one sentence replies that did not address my questions.

awful customer service IMO. sold my deposit because I was sick of it.

You sold your deposit? As in, someone paid you $500 or whatever for your build slot and sent their own specs to Doug? His customer service sounds pretty appalling from what I'm hearing, I understand his work is fantastic, but 2 years is far more than anyone should have to wait for an instrument, even Fodera don't have a 2 year waiting list, and in that price range I'd expect top notch customer service, with proper responses at the very least. I think if I ever go custom it will certainly be with Oni.

it was way more than $500 for my build slot. And yeah, one of nolly's students who lived in the UK bought it from me. Loved blackmachines ever since I first saw one.. but I will never buy one from Doug, ever. If one springs up used and I have the cash I will snap it up.. but my blackmachine money went first to an Axe FX, which I sold, and now to a Sherman, which hopefully will be done really soon :)

I think that it was 500GBP....

And, while Doug's a really nice guy, he does have issues with e-mail as a method of communication!

I want a Sherman too. :(

Didn't read through all of the thread - sorry if this is a repost already.

Anyway, the mails that bounce back actually make it to his mailbox - at least mine did. Every single mail came back, but some also got a reply from him ;)
