Unacceptable wait but thankfully you got it, I feel like that might be the only thing he needs to work on. Time management and priorities to get builds done, but regardless HNGD!
Honestly, I'm not one to dwell on the pickup + wood combinations. To me, the sound of the guitar is primarily based on it's construction first and foremost, and the quality rather than the species of wood that it is comprised of.
Got-DAMN that looks facking great, especially with the stained back! Glad you got it after all the delays. Hopefully Aaron clears these up and doesn't quote overly optimistic wait times anymore, as I would love to get a build with him some day.
