It's odd how "risky" ordering a custom guitar is on this forum. It seems that a lot of the custom guys are happy with their guitars. It can't be that bad if they keep ordering custom after custom.

I think the OP has made a great move. He has ordered what he wants for his guitar... Isn't that the main point? It sounds like he's done his homework, and will be getting a good value in the process. That makes it an even better move.

...but what if he doesn't like it? What if Martin takes 1 week longer than expected. RUINED RUINED!

Of the big makers, Gibsons may be the least consistent in my opinion, and Martin falls somewhere in the middle. Any mail-order Martin, custom or not, is a risk and I personally wouldn't take it. Then again, I'm someone who constantly vacillates between thrifty and broke. |

He does not individually "voice" guitars. He builds all of them to the same basic spec's, and whatever difference you hear in the voice, he attributes to the specific individual differences in the wood of each guitar. duff |
