Is anyone aware of the production timeline for Valentines? I’m in line at Sweetwater, but no ETA. The Maroon Sparkle is calling me.

Musician's Friend (Guitar Center) has them in stock. Tobacco Sparkle as well. I bought one last month, and its an incredible instrument.

Thanks for the heads up. To be honest, I try to avoid GC and their affiliates after a couple bad experiences. Sweetwater definitely earned my business.

Your personal sales drone at Sweetwater should be able to give you a ballpark idea of when they'll be back in stock.
