I've been waiting on a Landgraff mod for almost 4 years
I'm trying to be patient, but its tough. It seems 3-5 years is not unusual for John.
I don't care if it is the best sounding Marshall eva', then when I'm done playing it, it turns into a supermodel, who blows me, then gets me an In-N-Out combo and a six pack of beer before immediately turning back into the amp, four f'n years for an amp mod is f'n ridiculous and there can be no justification for it.
Nothin' against you for your willingness to wait, bro, but I would never be willing to wait that long for music gear of any kind.

Yeah, F that noise. And if a fair sum of money was put down to be waiting that long, I'd have demanded it back a long, long time ago and would be raising hell if I didn't get it.
It wasent, its just the wait. And a long wait it is, but at this point I think I'm better off riding it out than picking up an amp that is not finished. Those are my options. Nobody wants to finish something that someone else started
If I had it to do over I would not be willing to wait this long, but it is what it is
I have talked with Jtyson about our dealings with Landgraff. I have known John for 10+ years. Considered him one of my closest personal friends for most of that. He had severla thousands of my $$ for quite a few years. Custom double pedal, Money for a heavily modded Engl preamp, Musicman HD130 to be worked on and modded, and some other mods. After 4 years of excuses, misinformation, drama, he finally sent me my double pedal, which I immediately sold to Japan. He sent me his personal modded Dynamic OD, to cover more of what he owes me. Still no Engl, still no Musicman. Makes it MUCH harder when someone has been a close personal friend. I am sure that is why people defend Mark Cameron, and others like him. I don't consider Landgraff like Cameron, but sadly it seems to be headed that way. I have learned some very hard lessons, and have been buying and selling for over 20 years, much of that as a substantial part of my income. Waiting a few weeks more for a piece of gear, not a big deal. Just have good communication, and things happen sometimes. Especially with small builders with no or few employees, and no real backup plan.
You are obviously very passionate about arguing your beliefs about how you believe an amp manufacturer should operate and how CECamps is not doing it the proper way or how you would do it....BUT if you did not have significant assests (assuming you do) your outlook might be closer to his or at least more understanding of his operation. Rip on me all you want but after reading your posts and dissection of his posts, it comes off as kind of harsh and attack-like. Just an opinion.
You might take a metaphorical bullet now and then.....
