Why? Due to the Corona Virus lockdown in California there are delays in processing a build order. Mine was started on May 1. At this writing, June 5 marks 35 days. No notice of completion of build or shipment has been received. My emails of inquiry have so far been ignored. The build time as stated by Fender is 30 days, but due to the current situation may be a lot longer. Best to wait till after the lock down in California is over.
Please note that when you order a build, the cost if not refundable. You have to wait till it is completed.

Will post updates as this develops…
Update 6/5/20
Got Fender's ship notice today. Finally! Tracking number sent. Arriving on FedEx.
Update 6/10/20
Delivery scheduled for the 15th. So after all of this still have to wait a week to get the guitar. Never again.
Update 6/15/20
Almost 7:30 PM and no guitar. Not surprised. I've had disappointing service from FedEx ground service many times. This will be the third time and the last time.
