To the top! Anybody else get anything ordered before the window closed? Also, anyone get any updates as to when we'll start seeing these beauties?

I talked to Pete yesterday. He's hoping 3-4 weeks for mine.

Pete told me he is keeping mine for himself.

Sweet. Does EB go by order number or do they do the guitars/basses in batches at a time?

The D2's outsold the original version by a small margin. If I remember correctly the original window was extended to three weeks. I'll get a rough tally up soon, then once they all are built I can give a firm count.

That's great! Thanks, Dargin. I'm glad to hear that. It's a great package with the cool inlays, the ebony, the color-shifting finish. I think you get a lot more. Of course, IIRC we're paying more for this version, but that's cool.

I don't know the answer to that question. If someone from EBMM wants to chime in, that's cool, but I'm not going to speculate.

 

[Big Poppa]

dont worry no costs have gone up...we just want to take advantage of you! hehehehehehe

LOL! I don't mind, BP! Like I said, it's a great package!

 

[Larry]

I'm super excited I just finished my JTM45 build and have no EBMMs to play through it!

IIRC it's sort of a combination of both. Based on the factory tour and posts by BP and the other EB guys, as orders come in they are placed in production schedule buckets based on the pipeline at the time i.e. orders coming in this week will be placed in the production bucket for the week of X in the future. Then when production bucket X comes up they will produce similar instruments within that bucket together to keep the machines on line cutting similar bodies etc within that batch. So they are produced only as ordered within a certain time guideline but not necessarily in exact order #

The colour shifting thing is cool, but I constantly find myself trying to look at it from the angle where the true Dargie green colour pops out (which is really only from more acute angles).
It really is an awesome green.

But from straight in front etc, you the more prominent Candy Apple (which looks like a yellowy, bronzy gold) - and I'm not really a big fan.

 

[nickowatson]

that 'yellowy, bronzy gold' is exactly what i liked about it, the bonus was having the dargie finish in some angles

Lighting would effect that as well wouldn't it? There was a shot of JP on stage from virtually front on right around the announcement and the green just stood out like a b@st@rd!

Possibly - maybe it's also dependent on the angle of the light shining on it.

Will check it out - might have to rearrange all the lights in my house

I think that would have to be just about the perfect JP FanBoy moment, let me know how it goes for you.

LMAO

If I rearrange all of the lights, I'll also need to re-arrange all of the Mirrors

Hang on, does that make me a JP or a Dizzy FanBoy ???

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I want to touch that one....

Does anyone else more qualified to give their opinion want to comment? Does Mrs Dizzy post here also?
