barry2001 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thats the news I've been looking for . Out of curiosity, How long does it actually take to build a guitar like i have ordered ? From start to finish . Any idea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 i'd ballpark it in the 3-4 week range... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Admin Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 barry, seriously...answering questions on this forum is an extremely minor part of my daily duties here, so i don't really have time to follow one guitar through every step of production and give you constant updates. they are under way, but it's probably going to be another 3-4 weeks before they are done and ship. really there's nothing more i'm going to be able to tell you until they're done. thanks for your patience and understanding on this matter.

Custom Admin Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 barry, we painted 5 '63 335s in cherry today. last i checked you were still #2 on the list, so...i would think yours will be on its way to you by next week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry2001 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Many thanks for the news . I'll keep my fingers crossed that one of them will be mine . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry2001 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 I know the guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity . Ive read on the forum that the custom shop is now using a small booklet of some kind instead of the certificate . should i expect this with my Block reissue ?

PKAZ Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 barry, I do not mean to offend you with this, but show a little patience. Â Admin has been more than helpful with your order. You've been fortunate to get this kind of response to date. Â As a comparison, I waited well over a year for my Historic ES-335 and all I got from Gibson at the time was 60-90 days eveytime my dealer asked about it. Not only that, I also had a Firebird I on order for almost a year before the Custom Shop told me (through this board) and also told my dealer that they would not build the guitar at all. Â You just ordered your guitar in December... you'll have it soon enough. It is only May. If your guitar was painted just a week ago, there is no way that it is going to be shipping to your dealer for at least a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 haven't seen the red ones yet, but they should be coming along any time now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKAZ Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 i must have missed that part from admin about shipping in a week... that's quicker than i thought coming out of paint! Â anyway, i know the wait is hard but these Historic 335's are certainly worth it... you''ll love yours, I'm sure... Â since Custom Adminn is checking in on this thread: Â have any '63 ES-335 Historic reissues been painted in black? I'd love to see (have) one of those...

Â Â Â [/quote'] Â Funny you would ask about the black ones because when I ordered my faded cherry one there was indeed a black one available but thats not what I was after so I passed . I just hope i get the good news this week . Maybe it will ship this week but i understand it was just an estimation from admin . I ordered two guitars the same day . The other was a 57 custom VOS LP . Got it in two days and its a spectacular instrument . Could'nt be happier with it . So Im keeping my fingers crossed and hoping something happens soon on the other one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKAZ Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 do you know if the black one is still available where you ordered your cherry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 yes, we still do black in both the '59 and '63 historic 335. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
