Your Custom Shop Experience
Your Custom Shop Experience
Probably 100 of these forums but I'll make one to.
So if you have purchased custom shop guitar before, give us your experience.
What model did you get? What specs do you have? and if you don't mind, what did the cost come to?
Would love to see some varying prices with different specs.
I think I got it in 2009 or 10. I think it was at drum city for a couple years if I remember right. The white one sold first (that's the one I really wanted). I agree the codes on the back are strange. If it's not legit then I got way, way, ripped off. The two guitars were originally listed a touch over 12grand each.

Don't stress mate, you didn't get ripped off.
Guitar looks legit and they came out in 2009. They made 50 black and 50 white.
I find it strange that you purchased it new from Drum City and not know anything about this guitar. Do you remember what you paid for it? Lol
It was released in 2009 and if it sat for a few years in the shop, then you must have purchased it in 2011 or 2012 perhaps?
A friend was living in Tokyo and went into the Big Boss store to enquire about placing an order. I then communicated the spec to him and ordered a vintage white MX-II with a rosewood board back in February.
It was supposed to take 12 months. Fast forward to July and the guitar was finished and ready for delivery.
Received progress update pictures a month or two after the order was placed and everything was painless. Very satisfying process.
My brother ordered mine and HE's beasts (2 x MX2 VW) , they came out better than expected and to a spec i have wanted for such a long time.
I also have a CS MX2 SW i bought from the Craft House in 2008, their service was simply fantastic and the set up has still not had to be re-done!
As said they ended up 6 months early with build pics (as per my profile image). I was so shocked , and so was our bank accounts lol!!
The reason was that they tried to get them as fast as they could as they knew my brother had a finite time in Japan, their effort was def appreciated.
Does the quote/spec sheet Process typically take like forever? I have been working through a quote/spec sheet now for 5 weeks. I got a quote over two weeks ago but wanted to change the body wood and pick-up and am still waiting to hear back from ESP. Is this typical? I mean its the same spec sheet with two minor changes. Seems simple to me.
You have definitely ordered some cool guitars there Big Daddy!!
That Ouija would have been cool to own now. Hell, even owning all of them would have been cool 20 years later.
Looking forward to seeing what you have planned next....
