very true. I actually called UPS to make sure my delivery was coming because my UPS guy normally arrives at 12:30pm and it was like 12:35 and I wasn't messing around!!

The suspense is killing me for serious realz. ><
OK. Here it is in all it's suckage!
The story on this guitar is a long one. First thanks to everyone at EB for taking care of me all along the way. You guys worked hard to deliver.
If you may recall, I got a JP BFR in late July. It was one of the first off the line I suppose, cuz I ordered it right after NAMM. Well, I couldn't have been happier with the guitar, but on the very first night I got it, I bought it to a friends house to play it. At the end of the session, I went to remove the cable and saw a very tiny paint chip near the output jacks. I was deflated, and tried to decide if I should persue getting it fixed. Well, after talking with a few folks, I brought the guitar back to Pete at the Morse clinic. EB thought they could repaint, but the paint just would not stick to the area in question. So a new body is selected and I get the guitar back a in a few weeks or so.
So I go pick up the new guitar at Pete's store, play it a little and bring it home. I notice after a longer sitting that the trem on this one doesn't feel right. I call customer service and get a few suggestions. I change out some springs but the trem was getting hung up and the range of motion was not right. So back it goes. At this point I've had the BFR for a combined 7 days between the 2 of them. Dan tells me that they think it's too much finish, but they are not sure. SOOOO, body #3 gets painted and reassembled for me.
Enter the guitar above that came with action so low that I may have to raise it and a top that kicks my ass. It plays like its supposed to.
So long story short, I just want to say thanks EB! Third time is a charm. Customer service is great and out of respect for them, I told this story. I didn't bring it up before as I didn't want it to be a bitch session. Hopefully, they can learn from the issues that creeped up with this experience.
