Default Delayed!!

I'm so disappointed! Just got an email from my dealer who stated that my 814ce brazilian delivery date has been pushed back until mid December. The guitar was supposed to ship on November 4th. He also stated that demand has been so high on the brazilian limited's that Taylor has actually cancelled some orders. Could it be that they've run out of brazilian rosewood? I'm glad that I pre-ordered and put a deposit down when I got wind of the upcoming fall ltd's from the forum. Great place for information... and a little sympathy.

Sorry for the delay Guido, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Mike called me today and told me the same thing. My maple 954 is now supposed to ship the first week in December. It's hard to wait. Then again, with what the people in and around San Diego are dealing with, I just can't complain. It'll make the new guitar an early Christmas present.

MAKE it a GREAT day!!!

I would think the fires would have a lot to do with the delay as well. I know waiting is tough but you know quite well it will be worth it!

Thanks all for the replies.

Marge, I'm going to talk with Mike tomorrow and see what's up. I'm looking at it like you, it surely will be a great Christmas present! At least that's what my wife will tell me.

Mike did say that a 754 ltd just came in. Too many guitars to love...too many choices. By the way, if you're ever in Milwaukee, Check out Interstate Music in New Berlin. Just got a blue burst 654 ltd, 310 maple ltd, K65, summer ltd, 27 others to come.
