Well, it took around nine months (was quoted eight weeks) and the body was finally completed and shipped back. The end result is fantastic — I couldn't be happier with the quality, color and craftsmanship. But, I just can't get over the fact that it took so dang long. I could have understood an extra three or four weeks given everything that's going on, but after month four I assumed it was a loss. An honest estimate could have spared a lot of frustration. The problem is most people will not accept waiting almost a year to have a guitar painted. I really hope Sims can figure this out because the guitar looks incredible.
