Booshy NGD

I’m sure it’s ok I’m there. So how long until I can open it?

What's in da boxe ?

From the way the box is looking I'd say you better open it now to check for damage.

 

[Handsome McClane]

Oh man. Fingers crossed for you. Looks like it got bashed pretty hard.

 

[StratUp]

Take lots more photos before and after opening. You might need them.

I think you have to wait seven days, legally.

If it is a blanket or drapes, you'll be fine.

Is "booshy" like "bougie"?

Maybe he ordered one of these..

I've never waited to open a box, and never had a problem. Open the box!

The builder was seriously supposed to ship in a hard case, but he sent it in a soft case. From Amsterdam…
The damage is pretty bad.

Dang man, tough break.
I'll give you $550 (with shipping) to ease your troubles.

What The Hell is it ?

So I decided to forgo some of the fancier options even though adding them would not have changed the price. So I skipped roasted woods, quartersawn neck, compound radius, stainless steel frets, ect…

I can’t find my spec sheet for the build, but here’s the highlights:
-7.25” NR
-Fender 64 Strat neck measurements
-Relic. Canary Diamond over 3TSB
-Jescar Vintage Modern wire
-all nitro
-Nashville wiring with a pull/push bottom tone knob to turn on the middle PuP. 3-way blade
-Swamp Ash body
-Hand wound 61’ pickups
-Graphtech ratioed vintage style tuners
-Wildwood saddles to avoid pokey grub screws.

This one comes in at 7lbs 7oz. So a little under 7.5 pounds. I ordered it in February.
This has been a long time coming. All for less money than a high end MIA Fender.
Came with a nice strap and a battle tested high end soft case too. Hand built from scratch by one man.

Nice specs. Congrats. I am probably the weird one but if that was in my hands I would be drawn to strip it and refinish it. I am just not one of those that prefers this look.

 

[FrieAsABird]

Lovely, congrats! The one thing I would have gone for specs- wise is stainless steel frets, just because I love them!

 

[Murdog]

Nice

Congrats! Beautiful work and glad it survived the bumpy ride to you.
