That is a bummer but you know it will be made right. The wait is no fun for sure.
I called EBMM today and was told my new Bongo is ready and is up for packaging. I cannot wait for it to arrive. I have nightmares of it arriving and not being as I ordered it as I would have to send it back as well but being in another country causes everything to take even longer.
I'm sure you will be very happy in a month....or maybe less!
I just sold a lined fretless (non EBMM) 5-string two weeks ago and if I ever replace it you can bet that it will be an EBMM unlined one. I love the look of an unlined board.
Sorry to hear about the mix-up and the unfortunate delay. OUCH!
When that unlined beauty comes in you'll be even more thrilled with it because of what you had to go through.
Hang in there!
