Kuz Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 What's the word? You holding out on us for some big announcement??????
yoslate Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Don't know whether the site has been up and down, up and down, or they've outed me at work and blocked it? Could string you along with some sort of dog and pony show, but I'll shoot straight. After three emails with Ren, I'm expecting to hear any minute that the Super's at Jay's. If I don't hear by Friday, I'll email Ren at the weekend or call Bill on Monday morning. Friend of mine, in order to get my goat, suggested the box turned out so well, they plan to send it to NAMM, and not tell me! Pretty funny! So when is NAMM, anyway...? ???
brentrocks Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 i think it is in 3 weeks...congrats dude!!! they had another alex skolnick finishing up for namm too the site has been dow all day
AnH555 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 They won't send it to NAMM, bro. You've been through more than enough. Just a suggestion, Slate: You could ask Jay to upgrade your shipping to Express, or even 24 hr. Might be well worth the extra $$$. Also, I'm convinced Heritage is turning out the nicest stuff they ever have now, based on what I've seen. You seen that 23'rd anniversary 535? Enough to make a rabbit hug a hound!
Thundersteel Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 You seen that 23'rd anniversary 535? A 23rd Anniversary? That seems kind of odd, IMHO.
yoslate Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for the interest, guys! It's been a long, and at times very frustrating, wait. But I just have implicit faith that the boys in Kalamazoo will do me right on this. The box may need a bit of tweezing at Jay's and when I get it home, but that's just alright, too. I think AnH is right about what's coming out of Parsons Street just now; have you guys been putting the hard eye on the pieces on Jay's G-base site? In thirty years this work will be among the most desireable instruments (note that I've intentionally avoided the word "collectable" for all that currently implies) on the planet! Hang on to 'em, fellas; we're on to something!
brentrocks Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Enough to make a rabbit hug a hound! love that expression!!!
SouthpawGuy Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 You seen that 23'rd anniversary 535? Enough to make a rabbit hug a hound! Ain't that the truth ;D I'm getting GAS from that one, big time :wink:
Paul P Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 But I just have implicit faith that the boys in Kalamazoo will do me right on this. I hope your guitar is perfect yoslate. You've had so much time to build up the image of a guitar straight from heaven that it would be a real bummer if something wasn't right. But it probably won't be perfect, they never are, so hopefully it'll be something minor. Paul P

I've seen Yoslate's guitar and he's gonna likey!!
yoslate Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks, boys! Waiting to hear from Ren, as we speak. I don't know how I'd have endured this thirteen-month-to-the-day wait without the distraction, humor, and support of the forum and all of the good guys on it!!! 8)

Kuz,you actually saw Yoslate's Super Eagle gitfiddle?! Man, where was your camera??????? ??? :this_thread_is_useless_withou Did you get to closely check it out or was it hanging in a stand among other soon to be released hostages?
ingeneri Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Kuz,you actually saw Yoslate's Super Eagle gitfiddle?! Man, where was your camera??????? ??? :this_thread_is_useless_withou Did you get to closely check it out or was it hanging in a stand among other soon to be released hostages? Yep, maybe my Groovemaster was chained next to Yos' Super! Good thing I already have my own Super Eagle to keep me busy in the meantime.
yoslate Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Yep, maybe my Groovemaster was chained next to Yos' Super! We're pulling for you and yours, too, ingeneri! Any word on your end recently?
yoslate Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 "Been waiting for the TP's from Germany. Should be in by next Wednesday." Well, there's the text of Ren's response to my latest inquiry, the last suggested shipping date having come and gone. I'm assuming "TP's" refers to tuning pegs? Anybody else have a guess? I love these guys. Dealing with them, and having heard of the trials and tribulations of others (Kuz, ingeneri, et. al.) has given me insight into just what must go on inside that vaunted building, with those guys. And I'm more convinced than ever that it largely consists of all that speculation I've read on the HOC, since I joined up last October. It's about an habitual, ingrained way of doing things, warts and all, that is just about gone. About guys in a deep, deep groove, who probably couldn't change if they had to. About so many of the intangibles which so many of us have identified as what we love about these damned things! And I really don't care about how long I have to wait anymore. Once I get it, I'll never let this one go!
brentrocks Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 it will definately be worth it.....i'm close to taking that plunge.....just think, you guys will get to listen to me whine all year, waiting ;D
Thundersteel Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I'm assuming "TP's" refers to tuning pegs? Anybody else have a guess? Toilet paper. Or...tailpieces.....TonePros.......Tent Poles.....just a thought
Gitfiddler Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Other "TP" possibilities: Tone Pots... Tail Piece(s)... TP6 Bridge...(Now wouldn't that look goofy on a Super Eagle?!) Trampoline Parts...(For Heritage factory employee recess activities!) Trailer Park...(For Pilgrims visiting the Heritage factory) OK, I'll go back to sleep now. :wink:
Kuz Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Tobacco Paint???? Sorry, I couldn't help myself. ;D Keep on them. The Squeaky Wheel.....
Dick Seacup Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Tantalizing Pictures. Terrycloth Purses. Tainted P...nevermind.
big bob Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 totaly picken --------------------------------------------------------my nose
brentrocks Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 YOslate, Buddy i saw your guitar today...worth the wait pal!!!! i was helping Vince & Rendal get a t-shirt order around for NAMM (t-shirt shop is 3 blocks away, how ironic)...we were eating lunch in the setup room and i asked Ren which one was yours. it is absoloutly stunning!!!! you will be very pleased!!! i'm not telling you this to be a dick (or to tease, i'm not that cruel), just to let you know you are getting your $$$$s worth. TP = tail piece
