McNaught build in progress

My buddy ordered a Mcnaught and was told four months. Two and a half years later and he’s still waiting.
This is my 2nd custom order from him. I placed the order in Febuary of 2023 so wait times are a bit rough. He's one of the few builders that will build anything you ask. This will be my 3rd McNaught, if you can tolerate the wait, I can't see any guitar being built to higher standard. The attention to detail is just incredible.

Yes they are without question amazing guitars.
Still, it’s not cool to tell a customer 4 months then take 2.5 plus years to fulfill the order. That’s deceptive practice.
My buddy says he never would have placed the order had he known it would take this long. I certainly wouldn’t have.

What the fuck wrong is with all these guitar and amp builders in the business? It has become a standart to delay orders it seems ?
 
I have had this for a couple months now. Long build time but an amazing guitar.

Here's the guitar in action from a recent rehearsal, so there are mistake made. It's a difficult song and there's no processing as we use these for reference to correct mistakes.

Congrats, love it. I noticed you were going for some specs to match Marty’s black Jackson Kelly, most notably the Kahler bridge

Yeah, Marty is probably my favorite player. Even if I could afford a Jackson Custom Shop Kelly I don' think they would allow a Kahler on it. Didn't have a proper Explorer shape before this, just x-type. This build was just a mash up of these 2.
